Richard, Well actually I have tried May CTP 2006 for Linq. The Normal Linq is working fine but Linq to SQL that is DLINQ is giving proplems. I am not able to Find Linq to SQL File template. Linq designer is there but one thing is missing. I think some thing is wrong with May CTP. I will try to download VS 2008. I will write a complete email Seperatly for explaining LINQ.

The MMC task pad considerably OH, so the Control Panel Admin Tools tab and then the IIS tab inside are actually the MMC? How do you like VS 2008 and Linq? Reading up on Linq it just seemd another layer and slows down client DB access even more. What about other features of VS 2008, are any really nice, or are they just fluf? Most contracts I've seen ask for Asp.net development and that's `why I've been working on setting up a flexable development and testing environment. Need to be able to develop and test configurations based on diverse client requests. I have held up on loading VS 2008 on my new machine because I have IIS running on it and pointing to v.2.0.50727 Framework and don't want to mess it up by installing VS 2008 over IIS until I get everything setup and working well. In the mean time I'm stuck in VS 2005 Standard but there are allot of new features I can explore while developing Asp.net sites and planning for VS 2008. I'm beginning to lean toward getting a third computer running Vista for VS 2008 development with the new Sql 2008 and 2008 server when everything MS is ready for prime time. Right now I just want to get past this bloody IIS and FTP setup. It's much more complex and cumbersome than I could have imagined.

The MMC task pad considerably Hi Guys: How do I fire this puppy up? It does not appear in my Menu Bar for Internet Explorer. There are various mmc.exe modules floating around my C drive but I haven't found out how to set it up. Also, is it accessible? It might be good for working with IIS, ASPXX and other thingys according to various Google Articles. I have never installed a PlugIn so could use a pointer if I'm missing something simple. Rick USA
