Microsoft will be introducing something called 'language integrated queries' (or LINQ for short) in the next versions of C# and VB and the .NET Framework 3.5 will include a number of new classes to support this feature. The syntax for LINQ is loosely based on SQL except the 'from' clause will appear first and the 'select' clause last in the query. There's a series of three articles here which will help you to get up to speed on LINQ (and its siblings DLINQ and XLINQ) before VS 2008 is released.: http://www.codeproject.com/vista/LINQ_1.asp http://www.codeproject.com/vista/LINQ2.asp http://www.codeproject.com/vista/LINQ_3.asp
