Microsoft LINQ and C# 3.0

While I'm writing this, Microsoft's PDC05 has just ended. Sadly, I couldn't attend the event, but still lots of interesting information is flowing my way.

The most buzz seems to related to the things C# 3.0 and the new LINQ project has to offer. There's a very interesting MSDN article about this written by Don Box and Anders Hejlsberg.

The LINQ project is about integraring SQL like data manipulation statements with normal programming language code, such as C#. This would really be a step forward, and I would love to see it live. Similar things are planned for Visual Basic 9.0.
