[OT] ADO.NET vNext CTP Next Week

[Clinton Begin <cl...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I had an opportunity to visit Microsoft to have a look at ADO.NET vNext, and
more specifically, the Entity Framework.  They have a lot of really great
people working on it and the technology is quite advanced.  However, as
anyone who knows me would expect, I personally had quite a bit to say about
it... ;-)  I'll be happy to share those thoughts once the CTP is out so that
you have a chance to formulate your own opinion.

If your interested in the future of ADO.NET development, keep an eye on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data next week.  And more importantly, let
Microsoft know what you think about it. Their team is really good at
listening to their customers, so I encourage you to share your thoughts with
them.

ALSO!  Please let _us_ know what you think about it and how it could impact
iBATIS.NET in the future - both good and bad.

Let us know!

Cheers,
Clinton

I wanted to send a note specifically to the people that we've been working
with closely over the last year on designs for the next version of
ADO.NETto let you know that we're on track to release the first public
CTP of
ADO.NET vNext early next week.  I'm including an overview document that will
be available with the CTP build so that you can get an early scoop on what
will be in it.  I'd like to encourage you to share the news with your
colleagues and help us get the word out on your blog once the CTP goes live
on http://msdn.microsoft.com/data.



Thanks for your participation and enjoy the CTP next week!
