LLBLGen Pro v2 with ASP.NET article posted.
I've posted my article about ASP.NET 2.0 and LLBLGen Pro v2.0:
http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/archive/2006/06/09/LLBLGen-Pro-v2.0-with-ASP.NET-2.0.aspx
Unfortunately, due to the code blocks I had to change the blog skin to this skin till I've changed it to a more appropriate one... Updated the layout, it now looks more pleasant for the eye

That's one of the best write-ups of the product I've seen. Demonstrates quite clearly the power of version 2.0, and provides a rebuttal to the always forthcoming DLinq.
I'll take a moment here though to say I was disappointed in the videos... I thought we would finally hear your voice!

This seems like an ideal 'Quick start to LLBLGen Pro' material 
.
It also seems ideal as part of the documentation on the main site, I feel.

Thanks!

If you have a sleeping disorder, I could add some background commentary next time
Serious: I didn't think of narrating the video, as that would take way more time to get it right. The video now took me an hour or so. 
(ps: you still haven't sent me a reply on my email, should I re-email you ? )

Yes, it's the plan to have more of these video's on the main site together with more tutorials. The video's are too big to include them inside the docs however, so we'll store them in a central place.

That was a very interesting read - very well written and clearly shows just how powerful LLBLGen is.
Thanks!
Do you have any plans to leverage the LINQ syntax in future versions of LLBLGen?
Absolutely! Sometime this year I hope to have some work in progress assembly which makes Linq stuff usable with LLBLGen Pro. It's not planned yet when it has to be done though.

Brilliant, I'm looking forward to it already

what did you use to format your code in your blog posting?
A macro for vs.net I downloaded somewhere. It works much easier than the add-in. I don't know the exact url. It's the macro written by Jeff Atwood from codinghorror.com

I noticed in the article you said,
Although I could have setup some combo-boxes to produce a filter at runtime through the datasource control completely declarative
Could you give a short HTML example of how to do this?
