Hi again,

This message includes the info on our main presentation for this month.

Event: DotNETLearn User Group Meeting
Time: 6pm Study Group / 7pm Main Presentation
Date: Monday, May 16, 2005

Study Group details are at
http://www.rttsoft.net/netlearn/Private/StudyGroupDetails/default.aspx.
Our one revision is that since the early chapters are fairly short, we now
recommend that you may want to
pre-read the first three to four chapters in Jesse Liberty's Learning C#.NET
book.


Main Meeting

Synopsis:

ADO.NET is not ADO.  ADO.NET provides universal access to data through
objects such as DataAdapters and DataSets.  ADO.NET is fully managed code
and much richer than its predecessors. There are 2 ways to use ADO.NET
technology: Drag-And-Drop and Programmatically.  While very nice demos can
be crafted very quickly with the UI drag-and-drop methods, that leaves us
without a firm understanding of what is underneath.  If you scale large
applications you will almost surely move to the Programmatic methods for
performance reasons. Disconnected DataSets are also a powerful notion
realized by the advent of DataAdapters and Data sets that make much easier
to program.  We are look at the various namespaces and ADO.NET
objects in examples that build all the way to disconnected DataSets and also
demonstrate how to handle concurrency issue.
