Anders Hejlsberg from Microsoft spoke about C#3.0 at ITU in Copenhagen

C# 3.0 has just been released.

Anders spoke about LINQ in C# 3.0 just being released. LINQ is pretty cool, is gives the developer an API to query object-structures, XML documents and SQL datasets using syntax very similar to SQL directly in the code. Hereby bringing C# closer to the SQL world. No more direct string-manipulation or parameter-based manipulation of SQL syntax without type-checking. LINQ gives you type-checking of your SQL sentences. Another cool feature is "Method extension", opening op for writing your own extensions of any method in C#. I can't wait to get my hands on C#3.0.
