Just a reminder that tomorrow night I'll be doing a talk on ADO.NET 2.0 enhancements, geared mostly towards those that can be used in conjuction with SQL Server 2005. This will be at the New England Visual Basic Professionals User Group.

The group meets at Microsoft's Waltham offices, 201 Jones Road, 6th floor. The talk will start at around 6:15, and I expect that it will go around 90 minutes.

Following is the abstract:

The new versions of ADO.NET and SQL Server can more seamlessly interact than any previous combination of DBMS and data access framework. The combination of the two allows for much easier development of a wide variety of database-centric applications. In this session you'll learn to use such features as Query Notifications, MARS, asynchronous commands, and bulk copy. These features provide a powerful new foundation for creating heavily data-driven applications.

I'm finishing up the talk now--and also trying to learn enough VB.NET so that I can say something intelligent to the group on the topic instead of my usual ranting and raving about how much more readable I think C# is. (It is. Really. I don't know what kind of carpal tunnel-minded masochists would choose to program in VB.NET. Seriously.)

So if you're going to be there and have any last-minute topic requests let me know, and I'll see if I can integrate them into the talk!
