Good to Hear. I also installed VS2008 a few days ago and read some on Linq
and it sounded so good. Less code for same features.

I am in the process of converting a old VB3+VB4+ b@astardized program to .Net and thought of moving the database Access 2000 to SQL server and redo the whole program in .Net

It will take me some steep learning curve tho.

What did you find so great in specifics.

I'm putting my hand up and saying, "I don't like it!"

We've spent the last 20 years migrating from embedded SQL to three layer architechture. And now what do we do? Jump straight back to embedded SQL (with a fancy new name)

Exactly Deneem - what drives these developers? Money
New architechture = more money.

but it creates Objects of the DB, and if you are famielr with real OO you will love it.

so it does something like thing like this.

I I have a Table in the DB called employees.

Linq creates a object of type Empolyee, (it actually changes the name, to a singular form)

so then you call

Dataclasscontext mydata = new DataclassContext();

Employee myemp = new Employee();

myemp.name = "joe"; // the class attributes are created automaticly
myemp.surname = "smith";

db.Employees.insertonsubmit(myemp);

db.submitchanges();

vola a insert statement.

i think it is realy good

according to our Lectures , this is the DataAccsess class of the 3 tier programing. there will still be a handeler class between this and the GUI

I agree with OO and familiarity, but they change the object model wayyy too often...

Interesting - I need to do some catching up on this part of the development... to much time in SSIS/SSAS/SSRS lately.
