.NET 101: Building a 3-Tier Web Application with a WinForms Client

John Juback, Technology Evangelist for ComponentOne, will demonstrate how to implement an ASP.NET application with a WinForms counterpart.  The focus of the presentation is a shared data library created with ComponentOne DataObjects for .NET. Data libraries are reusable assemblies that encapsulate all aspects of a data schema, including partitioning into logical datasets, composite tables, business rules, calculated fields, constraints, and custom methods.  This presentation will illustrate how a single data library assembly serves WinForms and WebForms clients in either 2-tier (client-server) or 3-tier (Web service) modes. Data library deployment is handled through configuration files; no modifications or special case coding are needed.

Building & Deploying Wireless .NET Applications

Brian Kalmar, Technical Consultant & .Net Evangelist for Giant Eagle Inc., will be our guest for this month's .NET User Group meeting.  He will bring in a few of the handheld devices used by Giant Eagle in their stores, complete with barcode scanners, WinCE.Net and 802.11-b radios.  Brian will demonstrate how to create and deploy an application to the device using Visual Studio.Net in C#. If time permits, he will also discuss how to deploy applications and DLL's wirelessly to the devices. The presentation will wrap up with an overview of some of the changes that are being made in the next release of the Compact Framework CF2.0 and VS.Net 2005.
