Tonight's meeting of NYCDOTNETDEV
Whether you're creating a data access layer for your middle-tier, or writing code directly into .NET Windows and Web Forms, there are new features in this release of ADO.NET that you won't want to miss. In addition to a host of SQL Server 2005-related capabilities, there's now built in support for asynchronous data fetching, provider-generic coding and client-side bulk copy operations. You'll also want to understand how to use ADO.NET 2.0 in conjunction with the Windows Forms and ASP.NET data binding models that are new to .NET 2.0. Come to this meeting to get the overview and details you'll need when Visual Studio 2005 ships.
