LINQ To SQL and SQL Server 2008

LINQ To SQL and SQL Server 2008

by David Hayden, Sarasota Web Developer

 

I find it very comforting when the product manager for LINQ To SQL posts about all their recent efforts with regards to LINQ To SQL taking advantage of the new data types and features in SQL Server 2008. In addition, it sounds like they have a number of other enhancements that they will be releasing soon, too.

From the ADO.NET Team Blog:

“The team has been busy adding features so that you will have better support for SQL Server 2008 in the future. Things we’ve been working on include support for new T-SQL data types that are being introduced in SQL Server 2008 – namely DATE, TIME, DATETIME2 and DATETIMEOFFSET, so that you can enjoy the same rich LINQ support and CUD support over data that uses many of the new types that are being introduced in SQL Server 2008.

Stay tuned and watch this blog for more on this as we get closer to releasing some of this and other new functionality!”

Of course, now I wonder what the other new functionality is :)
