Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
Last week was a big week for announcements. With the releasing of Microsoft
Office 2007 and Windows Vista to manufacturing as well as the release of several
other products it was close to crazy. The .NET Framework 3.0, SharePoint 2007
went gold, Visual Studio Tools for Office for 2007 Office System released
to manufacturing as well, and the Atlas stuff went into a second beta that is
supported. SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition hit a release candidate stage. The
news was abundant.
Of course, outside of Microsoft there was news flying as well. The tidbit
that is the most interesting is the release of Mono Version 1.2 from Novell.
This makes compatibility with version 2.0 of the .Net Framework and WinForms all
the more real — even on Linux. In my opinion, this is a significant release.
You should now have full Windows Forms support on Linux. In my opinion, that is
just plain Cool!
And did you hear the most recent Java news? I guess you’ll have to ask about
that in the forums!
Until then…
Brad!

This week’s CodeGuru posts:
==> .NET Data and Databases
– Many-to-Many Relationships in O/R
Mapping
By Iqbal M. Khan
If you are developing
an object-oriented .NET application that has to talk to a database, you’ll
inevitably map objects to a relational model. And, most likely, you’ll face
situations where many-to-many relationships exist in your database. Learn how to
handle these situations with ease.
