Could you not accomplish the same thing as LIMIT 10 with TOP 10 (presuming you use the same order clause)? http://authors.aspalliance.com/stevesmith/articles/sprowcount.asp

Review of SubSonic 3 from a SubSonic 2.x user perspective
posted by tallen(130) 2 years, 8 months ago 0
I think SubSonic v3 is excellent stuff, author's problem is he doesn't like LINQ (actually says he avoids it) and C# isn't his native language. If you dig LINQ and understand something about T4 files then you love SubSonic v3. I use it and after a small (like 1hour) spent on the subsonic site reviewing new docs and watching the screencasts I had no problems moving into it (from SubSonic v2). Check out some of the comments on that page, although Connery acts like a four year old most are spot on.
TFS Sucks, here is a list why
@Davbix93 -- Subversion != Tortoise. Just saying Subversion is fairly stable and there have only been 8 releases this year (1.5.6 to 1.6.5). Tortoise is a third party Windows shell integration tool. My experience has been Subversion is very stable, coupled with a very stable client its fairly good stuff. I agree with OP that TFS isnt perfect but perhaps with a more intuitive client some of the perceived short-comings would be better understood.
Microsoft creates the CodePlex foundation

What a strange state of affairs with Connery and Subsonic. One has to wonder his state of mind with the longivity of Subsonic (to him I mean) as the first of five postings on his new venture is NHibernate - nothing so far with Subsonic.

Doesn't really seem like an advantage to me over the 'stock' way that ASP.NET MVC is handled by VS.

IMHO; The redesign is nice and simple, not so sure about the new logo.
Microsoft collaborates to improve interoperability
Even if a veiled attempt, its still somewhat impressive the direction taken in the last few years by Microsoft for embracing technologies not their own.
