Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 Update Provides ADO.NET Data Services and Entity Framework
Microsoft is introducing new data access capabilities with Visual Studio 2008 and NET 3.5 SP1. The ADO.NET Entity Framework supports the database development cycle beginning with development of the conceptual model.
