Project LINQ - Language INtegrated Query (by yag)http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdata/archive/2005/09/12/Announcing-Linq.aspxWell, the hints have been going out for a while now, and finally we can talk about this thing we've been working on for so long. At the PDC opening keynote today, we unveiled a number of things including Project LINQ.

Be thoughtful when you define the syntax: consider using ANSI SQL as your guide. <br>2) Focus on developer productivity, not theoretical purity, but with sound design. <br>3) Dynamic language capabilities. I understand that at present this means late binding but I hope it may lead to macros or, better yet, the capability to generate code, save, compile, and run. <br>4) A command box. A true &quot;killer app&quot;. <br>5) I would prefer to see VFP extended to easily write internet apps, but I am ready to embrace alternatives.
