LINQ TO SQL and PLINQO

From my limited experience with the EF and “LINQ To SQL” I have to agree that “LINQ To SQL” is the way to go if you application or web site only needs to connect to SQL Server databases.  “LINQ To SQL” pretty feature rich as it is and although there will not be any major new features added to it, that does not mean it is not a viable option for .Net developers to use.  “LINQ To SQL” is already used by to many people so it will be a part of the .Net framework for quite some time.  And now developers have a way to get more features using “LINQ To SQL” by using PLINQO.

PLINQO is a new offering by Codesmith and it adds some functionality that makes “LINQ To SQL” an even better solution.  Although I have not been able to really dive in and play with it yet, based on the information on the web site looks like PLINQO is could become a must have tool for developers who use “LINQ To SQL”.  So even if Microsoft is not going to add functionality to “LINQ To SQL”, it looks like the developers at Codesmith are picking up the torch and going to add functionality through PLINQO.  For more information on PLINQO, visit the web site at http://plinqo.com.  Go ahead, try it out.


After playing with PLINQO, I will do another post to review what I think about about it, but on the surface looks like a very promising.
