I guess Linq (on which DLinq is based) will actually benefit LLBLGen (Frans you should really think about an abrevaton of the name :-)) - once Linq is released then LLBLGen will be able to incorporate Linq (language extension) for doing queries thus providing better query language.

Thanks all! :D

Gavin: cool stuff! :)

John: Yeah the coming period will be focussed on smaller projects like examples, tutorials and the like. For example we'll be releasing our forum system TinyForum (working title) as open source as an example project for LLBLGen Pro. No release date set but a beta isn't far away.

zzzzzz: I don't think it will be obsolete, also because what llblgen pro offers today is already a superset of what MS will offer in more than 1 year. Who knows what we'll offer at that time ;)

Microsoft has had ORM products in beta forever (OFS, Object Spaces, WinFS, ADO.NET vNext) with no support and ever changing API's. So if it were up to Microsoft we would still not be using entities. I wonder if Microsoft will ever catch up with products like LLBLGen Pro.

Great news frans, cant wait to move to a different contract role where I can sell them the benefits of llblgen and get back to my fav tool. Current project requires very little db interaction..boooooo

Congratulations! I know you've been putting a lot of work into this. I loved V1 and can't wait to try V2. Now that this milestone has been released will you be focusing on documentation/articles or samples or more features? Keep up the great work. John

Great, I look forward to upgrading. Coincidentally, I just released a major update to www.dotnetkicks.com, much of the new functionality is using LLBLGEN v2.0 beta generated code.
