Webcast: Live From Redmond - VB9, Building N-Tier Applications

youngjoo — Tue, 22 May 2007 02:52:00 GMT

My second webcast which was a part of the webcast series done by Visual Basic Team called "Live From Redmond" webcasts on Visual Studio "Orcas" was on building N-Tier application using Visual Studio "Orcas". I gave this webcast a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't until today that on-demand version became available. Sorry to those who have been waiting for the on-demand link and a copy of my slide.

During this webcast, I described new "Orcas" data features at high-level and built a simple multi-tiered application as a demonstration. Specific topics that I covered include:

Hierarchical Update Support in Typed Dataset

TableAdapterManager class and TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll() method

N-Tier Support in Typed Dataset

Dataset Designer support to make Typed Dataset N-Tier friendly
How to add custom validation logic to Typed Dataset and apply them through multiple tiers

How to create and consume basic WCF service

LINQ to Typed Dataset
