Data access strategy in Whidbey

Fredrik has blogged some great Whidbey posts  - not to mention his 3,000 or so posts on the www.asp.net forums!  Recently he wrote a couple of articles about some of the data access techniques which are available in Whidbey.  First he looked at the Data Component which allows to quickly and easily create Crud-like data access layers:

He then wrote a critique looking at and comparing some of the differences between the 3 main data access techniques: SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource and the Data Component.

Fascinating stuff, and great to see someone openly sharing their full opinions about these things too.
