Thanks.

Isn't Linq to SQL killed by MS?

Linq to SQL is one of the main features in Visual Studio 2008 and will be in
2010.

For Visual Basic it has even now the powerful lambda expressions as well
which are very useful with databases where relations are correct used.

Well, not really killed, but not well fed either. Most of the energy
will go into the Entity Framework, so even if LINQ to SQL lives on in
it's current form there will not be much further development.
