Well I've already written 2 posts about this keynote for my team blogs ( data and ADO.NET ), so I don't

BTW - I have a suggestion.

All examples I've seen seem to re-emphasize the same concepts. Say in this demo, you have Users/Employees (something we have seen way back in 2006).

It'd help on either side I feel, if every demo used a different model.

Does this also mean that in Orcas it won't be possible to design the various xml / mapping files for EDM? You have to revert to xml hammering in Orcas?

Echoing Frans Bouma, the "a new EDM Designer that we can expect to see released after the upcoming Orcas release" language indicates to me that the designer will arrive in VS 10, not Orcas.

Please say it isn't so.

This looks great so far. I also like the normalization of the lookup table. That is a great feature for database modelling.

Thanks for the teaser!

Following up on my prior question, there are conflicting reports regarding the RTM date of the EDM Designer: "after Orcas," "not in the beta," and "shortly after Orcas." Also, there appears to be a conflict in reports about the RTM of the XSD Designer. See http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/orcas-edm-wizard-and-designer-previewed.html.

Can you clarify when we can expect to see a CTP or beta of the EDM Designer and how long after Orcas RTM is it expected to be released?

Thanks in advance,

Roger Jennings

Thank you for all of your comments and questions. I would like to quickly address the questions regarding the release of the EDM Designer.

At this point in time, we have not released a timeline for the EDM Designer. As I mentioned in the post, the EDM Designer is NOT planned for the Orcas release. We are aware of the importance of this tool, and are working hard to make a CTP of the Designer available as soon as we can, possibly along side an Orcas Beta.

Thank you,

Please tell me it's an out-of-band release that I can expect soon after Orcas is realeased.
