Visual Basic 9.0 and C# 3.0
Fri, 26 Aug 2005 15:43:44 GMT
The PDC session abstracts contain some details about the "Orcas" version of Visual
Basic and C#.
"Database-centric applications have traditionally had to rely on two distinct programming
languages: one for the database and one for the application. This session introduces
future advances Microsoft is making for the "Orcas" release of Visual Studio in programming
languages and frameworks to help integrate relational data and queries with C# and
Visual Basic. These advances enable developers to express queries and updates in terms
of their local programming language without sacrificing the server-side execution
model of today's high-performance SQL-based approaches. Using these advances, database
queries that previously were stored as opaque strings now benefit from static type
checking, CLR metadata, design-time type inference, and of course IntelliSense. It
is suggested that you attend "The .NET Language Integrated Query Framework: An Overview"
before attending this session."
"Modern applications operate on data in several different forms: Relational tables,
XML documents, and in-memory objects. Each of these domains can have profound differences
in semantics, data types, and capabilities, and much of the complexity in today's
applications is the result of these mismatches. The future "Orcas" release of Visual
Studio aims to unify the programming models through integrated query capabilities
in C# and Visual Basic, a strongly typed data access framework, and an innovative
API for manipulating and querying XML. This session introduces each of these areas
and walks through how they are related."
"Visual Basic 9.0 will offer radical improvements in its ability to work with data
in all its forms: as objects, as XML, as relational data. Join the language architects
for a detailed discussion of features such as query comprehensions, object initializers
and anonymous types that enable querying data in a more flexible, natural way than
ever before. Also, get a glimpse into the future of dynamic programming in VB with
coverage of new features intended to radically simplify working with dynamically typed
data on the .NET platform."

Visual Basic") with the final product. In Beta 2, it is a free
Add-on.
