And in fact, on blogger in decrying that lack of originality in VS2005, described LINQ as warmed-over FoxPro. To which my thought was: they could have done a lot worse than given .Net warmed-over FoxPro. <s>

>One of the big new features in the next version of the .NET languages is the Language Integrated Query or LINQ. I am sure others have thought here how funny this is. THis is being touted as a major new feature that will make data access so much easier. Like so many other things in VS, this has been in VFP for ever! The ability to write SQL commands in your code, WOW! That is so cool! Oh, yeah, but Fox was based on that premise from day one.
