[xquery-talk] Help Support XQuery in the Microsoft .NET Framework2.0

[Uday Subbarayan]

Today I saw a news article in theserverside.com,
"I attended a seminar by Anders Hejlsberg, Microsoft Chief Architect for 
C#. He said that Microsoft were working on native support for SQL in C#."/
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=33606

So, they are dropping XQuery and creating something equivalent to SQLJ 
for C# ...

-Uday.
