With the impending release of Data Access Application Block 3.1, I now turn my thoughts to 3.2. What should be in it? A couple thoughts spring immediately to mind.
- Support for Visual Studio 2005. The problem with this is that I think it requires a code split. I don't think VS 2005 can be adequately supported without breaking support for Visual Studio 2003.
- Re-working UpdateDataset. This needs to be alot easier to use and to work a lot better.
What other ideas do you have? What about helpers for other providers, such as DB2? What about other languages? It's currently written in C# and VB.NET. Should Managed C++ be added? Should VB.NET be eliminated since it's unnecessary?
