A lot of new language features went into the compilers in Visual Studio 2008 to make LINQ work. In this interview I sit down with Jonathan Aneja, a Program Manager on the Visual Basic Compiler team, who dives deep into these features like Type Inference, Anonymous Types, Lambda Expressions, Expressions Trees, and more. He explains what's actually happening behind the scenes and all the work the compiler is doing for you when you write a LINQ query.

ADO.NET Data Services allow you to easily create data services exposed on the web using URIs to point to pieces of data and simple, well-known formats to represent that data. <br /> <br /> Saaid shows us how to create a simple service and then consume it using a Windows client via the "Add Service Reference" dialog in Visual Studio. He also walks through the client proxy methods that work with the data service. <br /> <br /> Enjoy,<br /> -<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/bethmassi" target="_blank">Beth Massi</a>, Visual Studio Community<img src="http://channel9.msdn.com/434489/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" />http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/funkyonex/ADONET-Data-Services-Astoria-in-Visual-Studio-2008-SP1/http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/funkyonex/ADONET-Data-Services-Astoria-in-Visual-Studio-2008-SP1/Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:07:00 GMThttp://download.microsoft.com/download/d/4/2/d4277241-44b2-48dc-89b5-32dcc091171d/SaaidAstoria.wmv47598http://channel9.msdn.com/434489/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0In this interview Saaid Kahn, a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Pro Tools team, shows us how to create an n-tier application against a database using ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and an Entity Data Model, both now available in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1. <br /> <br /> Saaid shows us how to create a simple service and then consume it using a Windows client via the "Add Service Reference" dialog in Visual Studio.
