The next version of Visual Studio.Net will feature significant developer productivity enhancements for providing access to myriad data sources, a Microsoft executive said Monday. The new features of the IDE, code-named Whidbey, are part of Microsoft's plan to design Whidbey specifically to work with the next-generation SQL Server, code-named Yukon.
Whidbey also will include improved editing capabilities and schema transformation for XML, Microsoft program manager Paul Yuknewicz said at a Whidbey demo at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles.
