Scott Guthrie is as usually explaining the new features of the new Orcas Studio. This time he looks over the Lambda Expressions. Up to now they arent supported in VB but only in C#. Looking forward to see them in VB!

So here is what Scott wrote:

“What are Lambda Expressions?

Lambda Expressions provide a more concise, functional syntax for writing anonymous methods. They end up being super useful when writing LINQ query expressions - since they provide a very compact and type-safe way to write functions that can be passed as arguments for subsequent evaluation.“

Yesturday a new version of Live Maps was launched, the sixth major rev since July 7, 2005 when V1 went out. Among the new feature items are a bunch of bug fixes, performance improvements and enhancements to existing functionality.
What is interesting to see is new Firefox support for 3D mapping. You have to install one plugin and there you have it. Thats major improvement since GMaps doesnt have that kind of feature.

I have only one concern about Live Maps, I think they should spend more attention on Europe and focus on the geocodes there and bring more details.

Great article just published on ScottGu’s Blog. Shows some basic advantages of new IIS 7 over previous releases which includes:

- You can now use ASP.NET Forms Authentication, Membership/Roles, and any other feature for all requests to the server (for example: .htm, .php, and .jsp files)

- You can now easily re-write the URL of any web request and/or modify the request in interesting ways

- You can replace or extend any existing IIS feature using VB or C# (for example: you could remove the built-in directory listing module and plug-in your own).
