    ADO.NET - Astoria and Jasper from MIX07

    It seems that the ADO.NET team has/going ( i'm not in LV ) to announce two on going projects which for all you LINQ enthusiastic people - if LINQ / DLINQ / XLINQ wasn't enough , here's another pile of paper work you'll have to read about [ that is if ADO.NET is your thing ;-) ].

    Technology NO.1 is code name "Astoria" : "The goal of Microsoft Codename "Astoria" is to enable applications to expose data as a data service that can be consumed by web clients within a corporate network and across the internet.", or in plain english LINQ with partial WCF capabilities.

    Check out the Astoria webpage at http://astoria.mslivelabs.com for more information and a link to the CTP download.
    Pablo Castro has published this document which introduces the concepts and motivations for Astoria.

    Technology NO.2 is code name "Jasper". Jasper seems to be like the level you'd get after SP2 of LINQ, why ?
    Because "Jasper" uses a set of new technologies to make this happen:

    • Dynamic generation of data classes so there is no configuration or design time code-gen to carry around.
    • Rich query and O/R capabilities because "Jasper" is built on top of the Entity Framework.
    • Auto-binding capabilities for ASP.NET, WinForms, and WPF to make binding data to a UI simple and automatic.

    VSTS Templates DOCs

    Hi y'all

    Yesterday I was at the Architect's User Group Meeting

    Here are two links which can enrich our knowledge regarding VSTS ,

    and how important it is to our success in current and future projects.

    There are two links due to the fact that there are two base templates

    For those who already know these links, please excuse me for the clutter

    Information about the VS 2005 beta cleanup tool

    Hi

    Recently Microsoft have released the VS 2005 Beta 2

    in the readme , they've written that before installing the VS 2005 Beta 2

    you must unInstall the Beta 1 completely.

    I did ... but after installing the Beta 2 I couldn't go into design mode of the Forms ( Web & Win )

    after talking to my friends I've found out about this extra tool that could do the job

    so here's the link

    http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/uninstall/
    ( press the "link" link )

    or

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/c/f/8cfb0fff-a24e-43a7-9b5b-9e4cf601db57/vs2005_beta_cleanup_tool.exe
