Last night I gave a presentation at the .NET Developer's Association in Redmond/Seattle. Following is a description of the session, and a link to download the slides and demo code. All code is using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 build.
ASP.NET 2.0: Building Data-Driven Web Sites
This session discusses the fundamentals of data access and how to render data in a Web site using the new data-source and data-bound controls in ASP.NET 2.0. Topics covered include binding to a SQL database; performing sorting, paging, update, insert, and delete operations; building data access and business object layers; rendering customization using templates; and improved performance through caching.
