The topic will be a lot of fun, as Jeffrey takes us on a deep dive into .NET:
“Writing Reliable Code”
This talk will discuss new CLR v2.0 features that allow class library and application developers to build reliable managed code. First, Jeff will show some of the problems that exist with managed code resource cleanup. Specifically, Jeff will explain constrained execution regions and how to hoist potential failures to a known place in your code. Then, we'll focus on how to robustly cleanup code when there is the chance for a graceful/rude thread abort or AppDomain unload. Jeff will also show how to properly use managed classes that wrap native resources.
