I'm going to be heading out in a couple of weeks to DevTeach in Montreal. In addition to my regular session talk on Datasets, I'll also be participating in an architecture panel discussion as part of Groupe d’usagers Visual Studio Montréal, Software Architecture Special Interest Group's Special Software Architecture Meeting. The meeting is open to ...

I'm just heading back home from Vancouver tonight on a red eye. When I get home, I have time for a load of laundry or two and then I'm flying to Mexico. Not just for some R&R, but I've also arranged to speak at the Mayan Riviera .NET User Group. (MR. Nug). I'm not sure what is better - going on vacation, or being able to write it off as a ...

So this will cause a few blogs. I have just heard that.... Longhorn slated for 2006. Longhorn server 2007. Winfx, and Avalon are coming to windows xp in 2006. Indigo as well - and on Windows 2003 as well. These are all part of WinFx that is going to be extremely important for .NET developers and companies wanting to take advantage of ...

It was bumped from The initial 1.0 release, and then as of last PDC slated for Whidbey. Now it looks like we'll have to wait until Longhorn. It's not all bad news however. ObjectSpaces is being re-orged into the WinFs file system. When you think about there is an awful lot of correlation to those technologies. I'm sure it's not terribly unrelated ...

Highlights in this exchange of newsgroup posts... Paging is cut Server cursors cut (SqlResultSet class) Async Open is cut, but not excute SqlDataTable class cut (Good - that was a bad design pattern to propogate) Command sets are cut, but you can still do batch DataAdapter updates, ...

On December 9th, myself and Dave Lloyd will present an in depth sneak peak of the next release of .NET: Visual Studio .NET 2.0 (code-named ''Whidbey''). This should be a really fun presentation but seating is pretty limited. Adam Gallant from Microsoft is going to come by and also demo Longhorn and Avalon. He's getting daily builds so ...

Microsoft is needs a holistic view of their platforms and development tools. I didn't see that this week, I doubt any of us will. What I did see was 7 data access techniques in various stages of ready now, coming soon, and coming much later: Use a DataAdapter to issue SQL  or stored procedures. Useful for working with a ...

...here we come. Myself and fellow ObjectSharpies DennisLee and DaveLloyd are heading out Saturday morning for the PDC in L.A. Stay tuned for our perspectives on Whidbey (essentially .NET 2.0), Yukon (SQL Server 2004?), and Longhorn (Windows 2005?). Key pieces of technology I'll be researching are Indigo (new web services framework) and Avalon ...
