DEV353: Data Access in Visual Studio 2008 - Slide Decks and Demos

Earlier this week I presented at Tech Ed Israel 2008. My session title was What's new around Data Access in Visual Studio 2008, and I talked about the following topics:

• DataSets Enhancements in Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5 (watch the screencast)
  • Adding a Service Reference to a service with DataSets as part of its operations signature
  • The ability to separate between the DataSets project and the TableAdapters Project
  • Table Adapter Manager for Hierarchical updates to the database.
• LINQ to DataSets
• LINQ to SQL
• ADO.Net Entity Framework
  • ADO.Net Entity Framework Introduction
  • How to move From ADO.Net 2.0 to ADO.Net Entity Framework E-SQL
• Sync Services for ADO.Net 

I hope you enjoyed this session and filled your evaluation. I ready every single one of them and it is very important for me to know what you wrote.

You can download the slide decks and demos from my presentations page. The file also contains the DB scripts for the schemas I used during the sessions, which are required for of the demos.
