LINQ to SQL in VS2010/.NET 4
|
For all of those who love to say "LINQ to SQL is dead", remember that LINQ to SQL is not disappearing, it just won't be getting a ton of love (e.g., new features and improvements). But it is still breathing and you can find updates in Visual Studio 2010. Damien Guard (who works on L2S at Microsoft) has blogged about LINQ to SQL changes in .NET 4.0. The list includes improvements in query compilation, performance enhancements, better usability and new features for LINQDataSource (e.g. using inherited types). Perhaps L2S should be re-branded as EFLite. ;-) |

And I'm supposed to use L2S or EF4 instead of NHibernate 2.1 + Fluent NHibernate because ... ?

I like to hear that L2S is not dead yet. According to a extensive performance test I conducted, L2S 1 has a better performance in most data scenarios than EF 1. For performance critical applications I recommend L2S instead of EF (or NHibernate, IBatis a.s.o.).
