Speaker: Chris Mullins
Topic:
Performance, Profiling and Tuning in .NET

Description:  
Today’s software is more complex than ever. As application complexity increases, performance often degrades and more memory is consumed. This session focuses on the tools and methodologies used for profiling and tuning .Net applications. A common cause of many .Net performance problems are memory issues, so we’ll start with a detailed review of how the .Net Garbage Collector works, and move into memory profiling and tuning. Using the tools, we’ll discover where we’re forgetting to dispose objects, which objects are living too long, why we’re leaking memory, and why we’re often spending way too much time doing Garbage Collection. After finishing up on Memory Profiling and Tuning, we’ll move to performance profiling and tuning and go through common scenarios and examples for tracking down performance issues. The focus of this session will be on server applications, although all information is directly relevant to ASP.Net, Console, and WinForms applications.

Speaker: Robert Freeman
Topic:
DataGridView with a Detail Edit Form using a strongly typed DataSet data layerDataGridView with Detail Edit Form in VS 2005
 

Creating an editable datagrid is a very straightforward way to edit a datagrid's values, but sometimes a separate editable Form/UserControl is desired (increased flexibility, more detail, etc.). I will discuss loading the editable fields and lookups with the grid on Form load. This will keep us from having to synchronize and manage separate instances of similar data and will reduce round trips to the database. This topic will delve into creating and configuring Datasets and TableAdapters using VS2005.

Robert is a senior .Net Developer with years experience developing object oriented, N-Tiered Enterprise Applications using Visual Studio Net and MS SQL Server. He is one of the top two ranked .Net Development Expert by Experts-Exchange professional forum consecutively in 2005 and 2006. He has published several .Net articles, controls, and code for the online community. He has also presented over 20 sessions of .Net technology lectures.
