Adam Machanic, Boston-based independent database consultant, writer, and speaker, shares his experiences with programming, performance tuning, and optimizing SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008, in conjunction with related technologies such as .NET.
I just got a request for my slides and demos from PASS, so I figured I would post a link to them here in case anyone else wants to check them out.
The demos cover protected data sections, SqlConnectionStringBuilder, MARS, SqlBulkCopy, and SqlDependency. Just for the record: I make no guarantees about the quality, usefulness, or lack of bugs in the code -- use at your own risk. I probably don't really need to say that, but I've seen some strange things lately and I'm getting paranoid!
Anyway, you can
download here. Enjoy, and as always feel free to leave me a comment if you have any questions, feedback, or anything else.
