“What’s Next?” – Everybody is interested to know about new and upcoming things. While I purchase new thing, I could not wait to use. Previously I was curious to know abour Whidbey, Orcas, WinFx ( Indigo, Avalon)… Next???

Now it is the case for Oslo too.

Now after PDC 2008, may many of us come to know about Visual Studio 2010.

 “10” – this one very significant number for football player or hockey player; only the most important player are getting No. 10 as their jersey number.

Yes, this time, it is “10” – Visual Studio 2010, VB.NET 10, Visual Studio 10 is the NEXT.

Here are some very useful links related to this.

C# Language Enhancement

C# 3,0 LINQ

C# 3.0 and LINQ With Language Extention

C# Dynamic Language Enhancement

C# 4.0 can be found on the Downloads page. The CSharpDynamic samples include several projects showing how to use Dynamic with Office, IronPython and other technologies. There is also a covariance and contravariance example, and an example show how to use the new IDynamicObject interface to create native C# objects that can be called dynamically.

The document New Features in C# 4.0 is a high level description of the additions to the C# language, and the samples are designed to show off the new language features, particularly around the dynamic scenario.
