<FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I just confirmed that I’ll be presenting a full day workshop at <FONT face=Tahoma size=2>VSLive in Orlando in May 2006<FONT face=Tahoma size=2> in addition to a regular 1 hour session titled <FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Exploiting System.Transactions and ADO.NET 2

<FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I'm really looking forward to the workshop ... I have a lot of material set aside for it that I am sorting through. In fact, I put together an abstract for VSLive that was waaaaaay too long for the brochure, so they had to reel me in :-) Anyway, here is the VERY brief summary of what I'll be discussing and demonstrating:

While ADO.NET 1.x is powerful, its successor ADO.NET 2.0 contains several new features that can benefit an application. In this workshop we will review the ADO.NET 2.0 model and discuss its how its integral parts work together and where they can benefit an application.

If you are into data like I am, it should be very interesting.</FONT></P>
