Whats in VS 2005?

[jas4th]

Hi, can anyone tell me whether VS 2005 (Whidby) incorporates a means of creating middle tier object relational mapping facilities?
I was looking at a product to generate this but somewhere got the impression that this was to be included in 2005 - and don't want to waste money if not needed.
Can someone reply soon as their offer price runs out today!
Thanks.

VS 2005 is suppose to include ObjectSpaces which does Object Relational Mapping but I know there has been some questions on whether it will make it in or as a seperate package or what. So it should contain something but we really wont know until it comes out.

This guy has a component that uses the same syntax as ObjectSpaces for $50 and you can use it now. I've used it a little and its not bad but the real ObjectSpaces will be much better.

There are actually some great new controls. I wish we had them now. Learn more here.

Personally, the MaskedTextBox and WebBrowser on tops on my list.
