Webcasts On ADO.NET
Repost from 24th March 2004
Did another webcast on ADO.NET v2 and Whidbey this morning for the US MSDN folk. Have part 2 of it coming up Friday morning (3am Brizzie time) - 9am PST Thursday (their time).
Didn't have any performance problems with the equipment today. I've added more memory to my notebook to take it up to 1GB. Makes such a difference when running Virtual PC as I was able to give the pc image around 600M of memory to work with. That fits VS/Whidbey, Yukon, SQL Profiler, etc. in memory just fine.
One thing that's changed with VB.NET that I'm not keen on is the removal of the variable name after the "Next" statement by default ie:
For intCntr = 1 To 10
...
Next
I really prefer having "Next intCntr" because when you get lots of nested loops and big code blocks, it's useful to be able to know which loop is which.
