February’s SnackBox Session Goodies
www.MyPE.co.za: Two
speakers are lined up for February’s Snackbox session to be presented
at Level 2 of the Embizweni Building at NMMU on Thursday 25 Feb from
17:30 to 19:30
First up is Iwan De Beer from Compsol in Port Elizabeth with C#
Collections:
Collections are ubiquitous in C#.NET. The array has been
around almost as long as the first programming languages and it remains
useful to this day. C# implements managed arrays and various
other collections, including the very powerful and lightning fast
generic collections. It is difficult to imagine any program
that does not in some way make use of a collection, though sometimes
it’s hard to decide which one is the most appropriate for your specific
development problem. We’ll examine the inner workings of some
of these collections, enabling us to use them more appropriately and
effectively.
Then Justin White from The Lateral Drawer will tackle Datalists in .NET:
Datalists in .NET provide more flexibility than the Datagrid but not
the option to easily set paging like the Datagrid. We’re
going to look at a real life example of paging using SQL Server 2008,
some of it’s benefits and pitfalls, it’s performance, and some
comparisons and reasons to choose between SQL Server paging and paging
using the SQL Data Adapter.
