Orcas

Tuesday, September 20, 2005

Whidbey (.NET 2.0) has not even shipped yet, but there's already a lot of excitement over the next major version, code-named Orcas. The biggest thing promised is data integration.

Orcas appearantly addresses the issues raised in my post about integrating data into a traditional programming system with strong typing.

One more thing I'm interested in: generic query facility, sorting in particular. So generic comparers with open instance covariant property delegates may have to be only a temporary solution.
