We're having a special guest at the August Dayton .NET Developer Group meeting, and I hope you will be able to attend. We will be hosting INETA speaker Bill Vaughn for a topic that you can have a hand in determining. Bill has offered four presentation topics that he will
to allow us to choose from at the meeting.
The four topics are:
- Visual Studio Reporting - ReportViewer control, RDL,
Reporting Services, in Visual Studio 2008 and SQL 2008
- SQL Server CLR Executables – Developing CLR executables
- ADO.NET Connecting – Everything you want to know about connection
strings, connecting to servers, and monitoring the connection pool
- SQL Server Compact Edition – An overview of the compact
edition in comparison to other SQL editions, including an overview of the AND.NET
3.5 Sync Services.
You can find more detailed overviews of each session on the Dayton .NET Developer Group forum section.
In addition to the presentation, Bill has also agreed to meet
with interested user group members the afternoon of the meeting. So we
will be having an "Open Space with Bill Vaughn" the afternoon of August
27. We'll be meeting in the community room at Dorothy Lane Market
in Springboro, which is just down the road from our normal meeting
location at Max Technical Training. The community room is on the
second floor of the store; there's an elevator to the right when you
come in and stairs a little farther in to the left. We will be
starting at 3:00 and go to approximately 5:30 when we will move on to
the meeting. I'm sure it will be a great opportunity to meet Bill and
talk with him and your fellow group members.
