Doug Rhoten over at CVNUG just sent me a link to the LINQ project.  The LINQ project extends C# and VB.NET wih  native language syntax for queries.  There are some excellent resources on the page along with code tutorials.

Native language syntax for queries is something I've missed since my xBase days.  Dealing with data in other languages has always been an "out-of-language" experience - lets hope Hjelsberg can finally drive a stake through the heart of the "DAO, RDO, ADO, EIEIO" alphabet soup game and make data access second nature. 

CVNUG is having a presentation on the Compact Framework next week, check it out!  We're in the middle of a roll-out right now and assuming we're rolling smoothly next week I'll definitely be there.

Thanks Doug!
