The Visual Basic 9.0 programming language "will offer radical improvements in its ability to work with data in all its forms: as objects, as XML, as relational data, according to one abstract. Version 9.0 will feature query comprehensions, object initializers, and anonymous types for querying data in a more flexible way, the abstract states.
