Microsoft just put out the news that ObjectSpaces will be merged into WinFS
to build a single unified API. Read about it at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/.

Andrew Conrad will be posting more info on his weblog at
http://weblogs.asp.net/aconrad.

Also, you might want to keep an eye on the stream of comments (if any) on my

Yes,

and it is CANCELLED FOR WHIDBEY.

Timeframe is now longhorn, which mean 2007+.

All you people waiting for a relaease: have fun.

Some people may remember saying a year ago it is stupid to wait for
ObjectSpaces as it is not decided it will ship with .NET 2.0 or in the .NET
2.0 timeframe.

I was called an idiot.

Now - reality strikes back, as it looks like.

Three more years to go for ObjectSpaces. I hope your projects can wait. If
not - there ARE alternatives. NOW.

Yes, Thomas you were right. But did anyone really call you an idiot?

Yes, and not too hard to write yourself either. The key is reflection along
with attributes. Whilst writing our own equiv. to ObjectSpaces, I did wonder
how Microsoft solved certain problems to make the implementation generic. I
never got to really look at ObjectSpaces so could somebody tell me how it
handled the collection of child objects in the parent? Could you use any
collection that implemented ICollection?

Cheers, Rob.
