Exciting features from the next release are demonstrated and discussed, including extensions to LINQ support, syntax simplifications, and improvements to the IDE. Larger trends that are likely to deeply influence the direction of the language are also covered, including dynamic binding, meta-programming, and scripting. Finally, we discuss how all these tie together into the roadmap for Visual Basic going forward.</EM></P> <P><A href="http://www.msteched.com/online/view.aspx?tid=1d3d650b-a6b3-4c98-9240-571866969b89" mce_href="http://www.msteched.com/online/view.aspx?tid=1d3d650b-a6b3-4c98-9240-571866969b89"><IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=249 alt=image src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/vbteam/WindowsLiveWriter/FutureDirectionsforVisualBasicbyAndersHe_4FD/image_3.png" width=382 border=0 mce_src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/vbteam/WindowsLiveWriter/FutureDirectionsforVisualBasicbyAndersHe_4FD/image_3.png"></A>&nbsp;</P> <P>The C# TechEd US video is not publicly available.
