Video: First Look at Visual Studio .NET 2008 and the LinqDataSource

Visual Studio .NET 2008 provides many new features that will definitely enhance developer productivity.  In this video tutorial I provide an introductory look at VS.NET 2008 and show a few features such as multi-targeting, split view, and the LinqDataSource control.  In the video you'll see how to build an ASP.NET page that retrieves data from a data context object (created with the new LINQ to SQL designer) and binds it to various controls using the LinqDataSource control.

Fantastic! Great presentation style, I think I'm right at the skill level you target with your videos and I really appreciate it. I could watch you continue for hours.

Any ideas on how to get the Delete on the GridView to work in the scenario you describe? By design, the LinqDataSource doesn't work when EnableDelete is true and Select is set.
