Impressive Stuff
Frank (Prengel) showed me a really amazing video yesterday: http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2003/1218/sony_06.wmv
Its pretty impressive what the Sony's engineers are able to do...
What else? I had some time to continue with my ADO.NET provider for NNTP. My SQL Parser (or as I call it: nntpQL *grin*) works fine now and the data-classes (command, connection, adapter & datareader - sic!) are almost completed. I can write code like
nntpConnection cn = new nntpConnection("news.microsoft.com");
nntpCommand cmd = new nntpCommand(
"SELECT * FROM microsoft.public.de.german.entwickler.techtalk WHERE Subject like 'A%'", cn);
nntpDataAdapter da = new nntpDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
And besides that this is nice by itself, you'll get everything else for free: I made a RSS-feed out of a newsgroup just by binding a datareader to a datarepeater :-)))) Wanna know how? Have a look at Scott Mitchells really cool article about RSS & ASP.NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/community/authors/scottmitchell/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/aspnet-createrssw-aspnet.asp
As soon as I complete the basic documentation for my ADO provider I plan to give the bits to Uwe and Frank for testing and then we'll see :-)
