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.
