New Oracle and .NET beta available now!

A major beta release is available now for ODP.NET as well as Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET. This 11g beta release also marks the first release of a new product, Oracle Providers for ASP.NET. I’ve written a new white paper (with lots of screen shots) that illustrates the new Visual Studio enhancements. Keep an eye on this blog in the weeks ahead as I will be writing articles explaining how to take advantage of some of the new features such as ASP.NET code generation and User-Defined Type (UDT) support…

We also have some new Oracle by Example walkthroughs that can help get you started:
Oracle by Example: Building ASP.NET Web Applications with ODT
Oracle by Example: Building .NET Applications Using ODT
