I am back in India after visiting the MVP Summit at Redmond. I spent two days with the VB team looking at Whidbey and Orcas.
Some of the latest Whidbey features are very good. I am especially amazed with the kind of work they have done on the Data Form interface and Refactoring. Ofcourse, they added refactoring via an external Addin, freely downloadable from the web, after a huge hue and cry from the VB community.
I think the refactoring support integrated into VB is way ahead of the refactoring in C#. I dont mean the number of refactorings supported etc, but rather the intutiveness and ease of use of the refactoring.
I am also quite impressed with the LINQ support in VB (LINQ is slated to be part of VB 3.0/Orcas). There is a downloadable public preview available, if you want to play around. Warning: Install at your own risk. It totally screwed up my VS 2005 install, forcing me to format my machine.
