Well well, the ADO.NET v.Next vision was finall unvieled. All looks good, but before we dive into that, it's probably better to understand DLINQ first.
Here are a couple of articles I've written on DLINQ to get you started -
DLINQ: Bridging the Object Relational Divide
DLINQ: Submitting Your Changes
Also, there is a new Demysifying DLINQ series I am in the middle of, here is what I have so far -
Demystifying DLINQ: Part1 - An introduction to DLINQ
Demystifying DLINQ: Part2 - Setting up a DataContext Class
Demystifying DLINQ: Part3 - Querying for Data using DLINQ
After writing the above 3, I went to TechED, and moderated a DLINQ BOF with Bob Beauchemin. Man there were QUITE A FEW comments about Stored procs, so I decided to take a small detour and talk about stored procedure support in DLINQ.
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4 - Stored Procedure/UDF Support in DLINQ.
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.1 - Stored Procedures that return scalar results
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.2 - Stored Procedures that return a definite shape
Demystifying DLINQ: Part 4.3 - Stored Procedures that return variable shapes
.. more coming :) (I will continue to update this blogpost as we go forward)
