Microsoft on Wednesday released a new Community Technology Preview of its .Net Language Integrated Query Project (LINQ) Project.
LINQ extends the C# and Visual Basic programming languages with native language syntax for queries, thereby reducing the need to use multiple query languages for different data types, the company said. Included in the CTP are updates to integrated querying capabilities for relational data, objects and XML, to enable developers to integrate data into a range of application types.
Also featured in the CTP are productivity enhancements such as debugger support within the Visual Studio IDE, support for a broader range of development scenarios and feedback-driven features such as deep stored procedure support.
The CTP can be downloaded here.
