VS.Net 2.0, generics, and the DataTable

[Bob]

Lots of tidbits out there on 2.0, but couldn't find anything specifically about
ADO. Anyone know what they're going to do with DataTable, if they plan to use a
generic type DataColumn? If so, will we see new classes, or outright
replacements? How compatable will the new object model be with the old?

I know ObjectSpaces will use generics, but I'm not aware of any changes to
DataSets.

Why not post to the Whidbey groups?

Bob,
In addition to posting to the Whidbey newsgroups, as Herfried suggested:

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&slcid=us

The Longhorn SDK (all the new classes) can be found at:
http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/

However the above site includes both Whidbey information and Longhorn
information, and they are not specifically marked as to which version they
belong. I've been using the Assembly version at the bottom of the page to
make a "best guess" as to if the new object is Longhorn or Whidbey.

Hope this helps
Jay
