You will see how to take advantage of this in scenarios where developers are normally timid about handling large amounts of data such as caching and even uploading. We will also look at how the new System.Transactions namespace coordinates with ADO.NET in ways that just look like magic. MARS is another new feature that can be used to do powerful things in ADO.NET and even more so when combined with System.Transactions. We will look at some of the more complex ways to use MARS as well as the asynchronous execution in ADO.NET. PowerPoint:   Lerman_VPS401_AdvanceADONET.ppt Zip (Demo Code):   Lerman_VPS401_AdvancedDataAccess_DevCOnnexFall2006_Demos.zip Visual Studio Connections Las Vegas, NV 11/08/06 Advanced Data Access Patterns with ADO.NET 2.0 Most demos and samples for ADO.NET deal with small amounts of data and simplistic functions. This session will take a look at how to design and code your data layer for dealing with real-world, high-end, data-intensive applications. We’ll look at some advanced patterns for handling more sophisticated scenarios such as updating huge amounts of data, leveraging middle-tier caching for heavy traffic Web sites, and an inmemory query processor that the ADO.NET team has built that we can use today. Much of what will be shown will leverage features of ADO.NET 2.0 as well as some of the performance improvements that have been made to the internals.

The Entity Framework in VS2010 and .NET 4.0 has changed dramatically since it was originally released in VS2008 SP1. What do you think of it now? We're you a former EF4 nay-sayer who loves it now? Were you already using EFv1? Will EF4 do the trick for you? Do you want more? Come to this Birds of a Feather session to talk to EF users, EF team members and the EF curious about where EF is today and where it should go tomorrow. Microsoft Tech*Ed North America 2010 June 7-11 New Orleans, LA 06/10/10 Building an Enterprise Solution with Web Services This session will walk you through the architecture and some of the coding tricks you need to build an enterprise solution that revolves around webservices serving up the data. The focus will be on building rich client (WinForms) front ends for on-site and off-site locations as well as being able to then create a variety of front ends in your enterprise - Web, Mobile, PocketPC and even non .NET tools such as Front Page. This session will aim at focusing on best practices for a solid and extensible architecture. PowerPoint:   Lerman_Web_Services_DevTeach.ppt Vermont .NET User Group Burlington, Vermont 02/10/03 DevTeach Conference Montreal, Quebec CANADA 05/13/03 Building ASP.NET Websites with Entity Framework and ObjectDataSource Creating data entry websites with Entity Framework can be challenging. If you want to build an application with business layers, the EntityDataSource control won't cut it. ObjectDataSource lets you build ASP.NET pages using your own business objects, and you can use this with entity objects if you know the proper patterns to use. This session will demonstrate how to create interactive web pages using Object Data Source with the Entity Framework providing the objects and the data access layer. Developer Summit 2009, Stockholm (April 14-17) Stockholm, Sweden 04/15/09 C# for VB Developers If you are a Visual Basic programmer looking at C# for the first time, there is more that is different than just semi-colons and case sensitivity demands. Come to this session to get a Visual Basic programmer's perspective on some of the basic things you will want to know before rolling up your sleeves to write C# code. We will cover topics like the backwards variable declaration, the hieroglyphics, the seemingly bizarre way that the C# language constructs an IF statement, the differences you will experience in the IDE at compile time, and the more stringent rules you need to pay attention to when scoping variables and methods. This session is being done by a Visual Basic programmer who has felt the pain of trying to write C# code and wants to help you avoid some of it. PowerPoint:   LermanCSharp for VB Developers.ppt Visual Studio Connections (3/20 - 3/23/05) Orlando, FL 03/23/05 Code Camp III (New England - March 12-13 2005) Waltham, MA 03/13/05 VS Connections Las Vegas, NV 11/08/05 Core Concepts of Entity Framework Entity Framework is an important part of Microsoft key strategy for data access going forward. This introductory session will provide you with a basic understanding of why Entity Framework exists, how it can be used in your applications today and what to expect in future versions of the product. This no-potholes-barred session will ensure that you not only have an understanding of value of EF and the EDM, but also a road map of some of the pitfalls you will encounter as you face version 1. Note that this session will be provide more concept than code. DevTeach 2009 Vancouver Vancouver, BC 06/08/09 Customized Debugging in Visual Studio 2005 New features in .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 allow you to take more control over how information is displayed about classes while you are debugging. Debugger Visualizers are custom user interfaces that can be written to display information about .NET classes or your own custom classes. The new debugger attributes can be applied to your classes to define the formatting of debug info displayed in the watch windows. This session will walk through how to write and deploy custom visualizers as well as how to leverage the new debugger attributes found in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

If you've only looked at the initial model created by the EDM Wizard, you're bound to be surprised at how dramatically you can impact model. This session will teach you how to implement various types of inheritence, Entity Splitting, Abstract entities, complex types. You will also learn how to do some advanced mapping such as mapping associations as well as digging into the XML to take advantage of QueryViews and Defining Queries. Finally we'll take a look at mapping Stored Procedures in the Entity Data Model. DevTeach Montreal Dec 1-5 2008 Montreal, Quebec 12/04/08 DevTeach 2009 Vancouver Vancouver, BC 06/08/09 Data Binding in ASP.NET with LINQ Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a new language innovation that enables querying in-memory collections of objects. In addition to the most basic LINQ to Objects, there are four other flavors of LINQ: LINQ to SQL, LINQ to DataSets, LINQ to Entities and LINQ to XML. Results returned by any of these query types can be bound directly to the data controls in ASP.NET. This session will explore the variety of ways to bind LINQ queries to Data Controls in your web applications, including using the new LINQDataSource.. PowerPoint:   Lerman_NET251_LINQDataBinding_DevTeachFall07.ppt DevConnections (Nov 5-8, 2007) Las Vegas, NV 11/07/07 San Diego .NET User Group (INETA) San Diego, CA 09/25/07 DevTeach 2007 Vancouver Vancouver, BC 11/26/07 New England Code Camp (9/29 - 9/30) Waltham, MA 09/29/07 Deep Dive Into Entity Framework Object Services The Entity Framework combined with the Entity Data Model (EDM) bring data access to a new level in enterprise applications. Entity Framework Object Services APIs, while providing a lot of automated functionality, are filled with features that give developers much more control over how objects are handled. The most important jobs of the ObjectContext are relationship management and change tracking. This session drills into how the ObjectContext manages relationships and how you can control its behavior. This is especially important in SOA scenarios where you may need to transport ObjectGraphs. We also look closely at change tracking, focusing on the challenges and solutions for dealing with data concurrency when moving objects across tiers in your enterprise applications. Knowing what to expect from these features and how to take control of them will empower you in your use of the Entity Framework and EDMs in your Web sites, SOA applications, and smart clients, as well as other applications that share the EDM.

With the release of its second iteration in Visual Studio 2010, it is clear that Microsoft is completely committed to the Entity Framework as its core data access technology going forward. In this short session you’ll get an overview of what the ADO.NET Entity Framework is all about and a look at getting started with it. We’ll answer the questions “Why Entity Framework?”, “What about my beloved DataSet?” and “What if I’m using LINQ to SQL?”. We’ll zip through a few “getting started” features – creating a model, querying some data and persisting changes back to the database. For those who have been using EF already, we’ll finish up with a brief rundown of features new to EF4. Huntsville VS.NET (INETA) Huntsville, Alabama 05/11/10 Leveraging SQL Server 2005 Query Notifications in ASP.NET 2.0 and ADO.NET 2.0 Both ADO.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 2.0 take advantage of SQL Server 2005's Service Broker. Although ADO.NET 2.0 is only able to receive query notification from SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2.0 has an implementation that will also know about database changes in SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7. This session will demonstrate how to receive notifications through both ADO.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 2 as well as cover the pros and cons and the many rules surrounding Query Notification.

LINQ to SQL is an implementation of LINQ that allows you to map .NET objects to your database and then query against the object using the common LINQ syntax, which gets translated to T-SQL automatically. This session provides a developer’s overview of leveraging LINQ to SQL to build data-driven Web applications including a look at the design tools that are being created. This session takes an in-depth look at LINQ to SQL support with ASP.NET Web Forms, building an Object/Relational Mapping layer, and using the ASP.NET Data Controls to leverage LINQ to SQL functionality PowerPoint:   Lerman_LinqSQLASPNET.pps ASP Connections Spring 2007 Orlando, FL 03/26/07 Vermont.NET Burlington, VT 02/12/07 Bellingham.NET (INETA) Bellingham, WA 04/11/07 Managing and Deploying ASP.NET 2.0 Applications and Web Services Visual Studio 2005 has made drastic changes to the way we create, manage and deploy our web applications. This session will sort out working with the file based web server compared to programming against IIS and some of the issues that you may face. We will look at the various choices for deploying your web apps and web services, when to use each one and how to deal with updates. The session will also cover the security implications to be aware of when trying to use some of the deployment options. Lastly, we will take a look at the Web Application Projects add-in that was created for developers who do not want to give up the project model of Visual Studio 2003. PowerPoint:   ASPConnex_Lerman_ACS201.ppt ASP.NET Connections Las Vegas, NV 11/08/06 Overview of Microsoft .NET In 2000, Microsoft started whispering about .NET loudly enough for average developers to hear. Slowly, developers using Microsoft tools started realizing that there was going to be a major shift in how they program. This meant a big learning curve even for already experienced programmers. Now it is 2003. Many of the developers who kicked and screamed about this switch (including Julia) have found themselves won over by this new technology and the development tools that go along with it. Julia will explain, from her perpective as a developer, what .NET is, what it means for developers and what it means for clients. She will also give a glimpse of each of the major technologies in .NET for developing desktop applications, web applications, mobile applications, pocket pc applications and xml web services and how all of these technologies fit together.

Julie Lerman has been a programmer for over 25 years and has become very well known in the worldwide community of Microsoft programmers. In this talk,Julie will share her observations about what makes programmers a special breed. You may just want to write code 24 hours a day, or you like to figure out how things work, or your passion is to share what you've learned with others - we are all cut from the same cloth! Some of the most successful and interesting people in the programming world are those coding addicts who have made software a lifestyle, not just a 9-5 job. Come see what it's all about. Vermont 3.0: Creative/Tech Career Jam Burlington, Vermont 01/26/08 Staying dry while drinking from the technology firehose Julie Lerman has been programming for over 20 years, with the glorious beginnings of a single BASIC computer class while acquiring a degree in Russian history. At her first job (nothing to do with history) the only computer in a company of over 1000 people quickly ended up on her desk. Since then she has used about 10 programming languages, but it took 13 years before she attended her first programming class. Julie will talk to the Amsterdam Girl Geeks about the challenge of trying to remain sane while keeping up with constantly changing technology and some of the extra challenges that being a girl geek added along the way. Amsterdam Geek Girl Dinner Amsterdam, The Netherlands 10/08/08 Streaming in .NET - Tips and Tricks The System.IO.Stream namespace in .NET has a lot of fantastic tools that can be used to solve a lot of problems. The relationships between the different types of streams seems very complicated on first approach. Not only can file streams be used to read and write files into your system, but they can be used to move large amounts of data around your .NET application without taxing your memory.This session will break down some of the key elements in the Stream namespace to clarify their purpose and then demonstrate Tips and Tricks with file streams to solve some common programming problems.

It's the Entity Framework Gotchas Entity Framework is filled with surprises, but not always the type you are seeking. The MSDN forums are filled with questions revolving around behavior that you may not expect from your data access tool, yet the behaviors are expected based on the way Entity Framework is designed. Have you ever been bewildered by EF's attempt to create new database records from pre-existing foreign key data. Imagine your surprise when you call Refresh on a graph but only part of the graph is refreshed (if you even notice). Come to this session to be alerted to many of Entity Framework's gotchas, understand why they exist and learn how to avoid them Microsoft TechEd US 2009 (May 11-15) Los Angeles 05/11/09 Top 10 Treats in Entity Framework 4 Maine Bytes User Group Portland, ME 12/16/09 OReilly.com Web Cast Online 01/27/10 Using WSE 3.0 Today to Prepare for WCF Tomorrow If you are writing web services today in VS2005 and using WSE 3.0, you can write them in a way to ensure that their messages will be compatible with WCF (Indigo) messasges.

But it's not impossible. You just need to know a few tricks with Entity Framework. This session will explore two patterns for using Entity Framework with WCF allowing consumers to insert, update and delete data without needing the EF APIs on the client side. For simpler services, you'll see how to implement explicit operations. For more intensive services, you'll see how using DTOs can allow your service operations to handle graphs or even collections of graphs. Prior knowledge of WCF and Entity Framework will make this session more beneficial. Developer Summit 2009, Stockholm (April 14-17) Stockholm, Sweden 04/15/09 Web Mash-ups with ADO.NET Data Services ADO.NET Data Services sit on top of the Entity Data Model and other iQueryables to enable you to expose customized views of your data to clients through HTTP and REST making it simple for consumers to use your data in mashups. Services built with ADO.NET Data Serivceswill offer consumers a common pattern querying these services through a URI without the need to learn specific operations for each individual service provider. In this session you will learn how to build an ADO.NET Data Service, and how control what data is exposed. On the client side, you will learn how to consume Astoria data services using .NET clients (including Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX), JavaScript and more.
