LINQ Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” CTP - Language Integrated QueryBridging the two worlds of data and objects is a task faced by most developers today. Bringing data into object-oriented programs means having to bridge the world of objects with that of schema, tables, cells and rows, usually dealt with via strings. Language Integrated Query (LINQ) provides support within the language for querying and updating all types of data in a consistent object-oriented manner. Objects enjoy rich support at the language level, allowing IDEs and code editors to provide high-fidelity design-time assistance. LINQ is available to both VB 2005 and C# developers. Visual Studio Tools for Application Next Generation of Application Customization - Visual Studio Tools for ApplicationMicrosoft is changing the landscape for application customization with the recent release of Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) CTP. Microsoft has supported more than 350 independent software vendors (ISVs) and 8 million developers with extensibility through Visual Basic for Applications for the past nine years. VSTA will build on that success by enabling ISVs to integrate and distribute the latest Visual Studio 2005 technology with their applications. And productivity is increased through VSTA’s development environment. VSTA is available as part of the Visual Studio SDK and includes documents, whitepapers, help topics, sample applications, and a redistributable IDE based on Visual Studio 2005. Commercial availability of VSTA is scheduled for later this year and will include licensing options for redistribution. VSTA will also ship with Microsoft Office InfoPath 12, where it will enable Office developers to write managed add-ins for InfoPath in either Visual Basic or C#.
