Oh no! Did the download staging servers blow away? Here's hoping makes it out in the first half of January 2007. I'm really looking forward to being able to install this (sans Virtual PC 2007) on Vista.

Seasons greetings to the C# team. Many thanks for the viable alternative to worn tooth enamel that is unmanaged development. Evolution is a wonderful thing! :-)

Just for clarification:

Is it using System.Data.DLinq (you mention this in the syntax and references heading) OR System.Data.Linq (you mention further down in the API changes)?

Please let it be System.Data.Linq so the using references are consistent-

using System.Linq;

using System.Xml.Linq;

using System.Data.Linq;

- NOT -

using System.Linq;

using System.Xml.Linq;

using System.Data.DLinq;

It seems global warming has had another victim... the December CTP of Visual Studio Orcas is no more, enter the January CTP.

Troy,

You get your wish. It is System.Data.Linq. Thanks for catching this one.

System.Data.DLinq is now obsolete and will not compile by default in Orcas.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your great work.

I believe that the order of parameters in

Expression.Call(method, instance, Expression[])

has not changed at all - that was the correct order already in the May CTP.

Best regards,

Charlie got the change for Expression.Call backwards, the new form has 'instance' as the first arg and 'method' as the second.

I don't like the change from "Query" to "Linq" at all. Consistency is good, but System.Query, System.Data.Query and System.Xml.Query would be so much nicer. Linq is a brand name, Query is what it does.

That's why we have System.* instead of DotNet.* and System.Data instead of System.Ado and System.Web instead of System.Asp and why WPF and WCF and WF don't live in System.Wpf etc.

Right now Linq is a hot buzzword but 20 years down the line when trying to explain to a new programmer how to work with queries, how are you going to explain to them why they have to type this "Linq" thing in?

Stuart made a good point but what would happen if a given technology was superseded by another? What namespace would we use for an API intended to replace ADO.NET or ASP.NET?

Code Names?

Halo_Four — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:09:09 GMT

I agree with the previous poster. I prefered the name System.Query because it has a context that anybody can understand. LINQ is at best a project name and will have little actual meaning. Besides that, it makes little sense to use the name like that because LINQ stands for Language INtegrated Query, and the Language INtegrated part has more to do with the enhancements to the actual languages than a namespace in an assembly. That leaves you with the Q, which stands for Query, so System.Query makes more sense.

Terrible! What are they thinking?? Change it back to System.Query!

This breaks (almost) every API design rule in the book.

Has anyone even blogged about why? Please for the love of Anders, change them back!
