SQL Server 2008 Support
As SQL Server 2008 was released after Visual Studio 2008 one of the most important changes in new release is support for SQL Server 2008. This will further help organisations thinking to switch over to SQL Server 2008.
To create data service click on 'Project>Add New Item', from list of items select 'ADO.NET Data Service'. We have named it 'School.svc'
ADO.NET Entity Framework
Often developers need to understand the database before they can write access codes for it. Now understanding complex database structure that is controlled by administrator becomes a bottleneck in application development cycle. Using Microsoft's ADO.NET Entity Framework developers can create an entity relationship model of the database (i.e. SQL Server) inside Visual Studio 2008.
This conceptual model is then used by developers to write code against database and that in turn reduces code development time along with lines of code. This is step by Microsoft to increase abstraction making things efficient for developers. Consider this example: when we write code to access data from a database (SQL Server), we often have to write quires containing 'Joins', joins can only be used if there is complete understanding of underlying database structure.
