One of the nice new features in Visual Basic 9 are lambda expressions. They where actually added as one of the underlying pieces for LINQ. But besides enabling LINQ you can use them in all sorts of places. One of the places they really help me is in places...

I guess MIX-08 was a pretty cool event Unfortunately all I can do was guess because I wasn't there . So I guess I missed a lot of good sessions, right? Well wrong actually because the team that run MIX have already put the sessions up on the web!...
The default behavior with LINQ to SQL is to use deferred loading and works just great most of the time. But sometimes you might just want to load all related data at the same time because you know you are going to need it anyway and it saves a number...
