I come to bury System.Data.SqlServer, not to praise it
Guy Barrette reminded me that I had not posted this yet.
I have written some really good SqlCLR objects that I have been doing for a demo. Having updated these CLR objects to run on the April CTP, I am now really glad that the Sql Server/ADO.NET Team removed the System.Data.SqlServer namespace and plugged all of that code into the System.Data.SqlClient namespace. By doing this, my code now looks and smells like any other data access code that I would have in a standard data access layer in other parts of my application. I was skeptical at the time, but I think that the change was a good move.
