Another nice news from Scott Guthrie:

a small excerpt:

Today I'm excited to announce that we'll be providing this with the .NET 3.5 and VS 2008 release later this year.

I am considering WPF-ing a new component for one of are in-house projects. So I've done some reading, and to be sincere, I am not too excited.

Let's refine the last statement. I am very excited with the technology. However, I find the examples out there very annoying.

It all seams to be "Hey it's so cool !! I can do stuff IN THE MARKUP - woosh, god save XAML".

So I came across this post.

It is just great!! it shows how I can easily use only 13 lines of XML to show a grind ONLY if the source is not null.

Sure a lot more expressive and easy than, say:

if (source != null)
   mySuperCoolGrid.DataBind();

I'm downloading the whole package, letting Roee play with the WPF and Oren with WWF, leaving the WCF stuff to myself.
I hope to have some insights on the subject, soon.
The Linq preview is already installed, and I'm working on some minor project as part of my Bachelor's degree seminar, dealing with the impendency mismatch, between the software OO world and the database E-R world, using DLinq to demonstrate this kind of O/R mapping solution.
