Hi Gustav, Thank you. That info arrived just in time! :) I have started preparation to VS2008 transition today, and I do plan to start using LINQ as much as possible in the applications I'm developing... BTW, I think another big thing to consider is "RESTful Web Services" - http://www.crummy.com/writing/RESTful-Web-Services/ http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html This concept is not from MS originally but MS released features to develop such services in VS2008... This REST and Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA) and RESTful web services could be a real breakthrough for many useful and easy to handle generic way web services to appear... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 4:28 PM To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Article: LINQ and stored procedures Hi all And here is what looks like a clever (and free) tool for SQL freaks to get a jumpstart with LINQ in Visual Studio: http://www.linqpad.net/ /gustav >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 29-03-2008 10:59 >>> Hi all It looks like MS is thinking of Visual Studio as a major tool for controlling SQL Server. An interesting article by William Sheldon in SQL Server Magazine tells more, indeed about the SQLMetal tool: <quote> Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) queries convert Visual Basic and C# code into T-SQL*based database calls, which are executed against SQL Server. Your Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 projects will need to target the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 to use LINQ. SQLMetal generates the necessary data entity and DataContext object as either a .vb or .cs source file. </quote> http://sqlmag-pwf.texterity.com/sqlmag/200804/ Pick article: LINQ to Your SQL Server Data A registration is needed but that is free. /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
