Data Explorer

Diamondback has a new Data Explorer which is built into the IDE. It provides a wealth of features for working with Databases. It works with any database and connection type. For example you can create, alter or drop tables. You can drag a table from the explorer onto the design surface to create the connection and the table (dataset) objects. There are so many features to this it is just mind boggling.

Do you have any info on what DiamondBack will do that Visual Studio 2005 doesnt.

e.g VS 2005 beta 1 datasource window makes a guess at the UI element for each field e.g. datepicker, or edit box. You can change these. You can drag and drop to create drilldown forms or grid forms complete with record navigator with no code at all. Does DiamondBack go beyond this ?
