What is Whidbey?
What is Whidbey (besides an island in the Pacific Northwest)?
“Whidbey“ is the codename for the next release of Visual Studio .NET scheduled to release in 2004. This release of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework will offer innovations and enhancements to the class libraries, common language runtime (CLR), programming languages, and the integrated development environment (IDE). In addition, this product will provide deep support for the next version of SQL Server (code name "Yukon") by enabling developers to write stored procedures using Visual Basic and C#.
You can read a little about it from Chris Maunder at Code Project - Visual Studio 'Whidbey' and VSIP - the VSLive keynote in New York.
