I now have an MSDN subscription and installed VS 2010, so I'm finding your pointers very useful. As a resolute VB stick-in-the-mud the most attractive feature for me is the removal of the need for line continuation. I hadn't used VS in anger for several years now, until recently when I had to develop a workflow system at work. I found myself having to query over several data sources: Oracle, the file system, and XML files buried within. I could effectively do this with one LINQ statement, saving considerable effort. I reckon I've developed this system in 2/3 of the time it would have taken me without LINQ. I'd like to see futher language enhancements directed towards productivity, as I think this is Microsoft's trump card over Java. Thanks for the potted rundown on what’s new.
