What happened to Dynamic Interfaces?

[Joh Smith]

Hi,

I remember reading about Dynamic Interfaces when VB 9.0 has been announced.
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...20overview.doc
http://channel9.msdn.com/showpost.aspx?postid=116702

What happened to this feature? Is it available in Orcas Beta 2?

Thank you,

Dan

When I add <Dynamicto an interface definition, I get an error that it (Type
Dynamic) is not defined. I am using 2008, beta 2. Perhaps it is available
and I don't know the namespace.

I recently asked this question of Paul vick over at http://www.panopticoncentral.net/
and was told ... "We ended up not implementing Dynamic Interfaces for VB9
due to time constraints…"

Does this mean it will be supported in VB 10?
I suspect there is something other in question, it has to do with the
direction where they want to take VB I suspect

An interesting point... I originally asked because I was worried that Dynamic
Interfaces seemed to be an "Option strict off" feature which seemed to function
when "Option Strict" was on.

I would love this feature but would like it to be provably type safe at compile
time.

Now that we're getting anonymous types this would seem like a logical next
step.
