.NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 NEWS

Not part of Framework 2.0	Part of Framework 2.0	Not yet defined



System.Data.ObjectSpaces
Developers who have been following the evolution of ObjectSpaces (a technology effort building services supporting object representations of data in relational databases) will be interested to know that these efforts are being merged with the object/data technology WinFS. This decision was made after evaluating the overlapping scenarios that each of these technologies delivered and firm feedback that developers and architects need a consistent, long-lived API delivering this functionality. More information will become available through MSDN for developers and architects to plan and build solutions today using the .NET Framework while planning for the exciting features of WinFS.

WinFS "WinFS" is the code name for the next generation storage system.

System.Collections.Generics
Generics allow you to define a type-safe data structure or a utility helper class without committing to the actual data types used. This results in a significant performance boost and higher-quality code because you get to reuse data processing algorithms without duplicating type-specific code. For example, instead of defining a linked list in terms of System.Object, you can define it in generic terms, using generic type parameters. Further information:
