ASP.NET Sessions at Tech.Ed India 2009

May 18, 2009 · 1 min read

I am back from delivering Tech.Ed India 2009, particularly the web platform track where I delivered three sessions across 2 days.  In addition, we also had Stephen Walther from the ASP.NET Team deliver sessions on ASP.NET 4.0, ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET AJAX.

Over the next few posts, I would like to get all the content that we discussed during Tech.Ed India and possible videos so that even if you missed the action over there, you could benefit right here.  To begin with, the sessions focussing on ASP.NET were

  • ASP.NET 4.0 by Stephen Walther
  • ASP.NET MVC by Stephen Walther
  • ASP.NET Dynamic Data by Harish Ranganathan (that’s me)
  • IIS 7.5, Server Core with ASP.NET – Windows Server 2008 R2 by Praveen Srivatsa
  • ASP.NET AJAX by Stephen Walther
  • VS 2010 Web Deployment features by Harish Ranganathan
  • ASP.NET – A day in the life of an ASP.NET Request by Harish Ranganathan

While bulk of the above require VS 2010 bits, to begin with, lets pick up the sessions which don’t require ex.-  The session on ASP.NET Dynamic Data.  In this post, I would specify the things to get started and cover up the actual content in the next post.

Pre-requisites for this sample

1. Visual Studio 2008 SP1 &.NET 3.5 SP1

2. (CodePlex)

3. .NET RIA Services

4. SQL Server 2008/2005 or Express Editions

5. Northwind Sample Database

Also, you need a bunch of DLLs that you get from the above download (Dynamic Data Preview)

In the following posts, we will examine, how you can take the Dynamic Data Preview,.NET RIA Service Domain Data Source controls to build your 3 tier architecture website which uses/doesn't use Dynamic Data features.

To sum it up, Dynamic Data and Domain Data Source controls are mutually exclusive and can be used selectively according to your requirement.

Cheers!!!
