ASP.NET CONNECTIONS April 2 - 5 in Orlando, Florida
Peter will be hosting sessions on the following topics:
Creating Web Parts This session will show you how to create your own Web Parts. You’ll see how to build Web Parts that take full advantage of all of the features of the Web Part framework. Web Parts built in this session can be used in conjunction with all of the Web Part editors, including acting as consumers or providers of information to other Web Parts. Web Parts in Real Applications Web Parts are very cool—but can you actually use them for anything in a real application? This session will show you how to use Web Parts by building components for a real application. You’ll see how Web Parts can be incorporated into a sales order application, a reporting system, and a transaction processing system. You’ll see how to add custom controls to a page, enable customization, and manage customizations. Personalization options range from simply allowing users to close a control that they don’t need through adding/removing controls from a page to connecting two Web Parts so that they can share data.
Customizing Personalization ASP.NET 2.0 provides a simple and powerful way of gathering and tracking information for individual users. However, the real power of the the personalization system is in its multiple points of customization. This session will show you how to customize personalization by creating your own personalization provider, allowing you to integrate your existing data with the personalization framework. You’ll also find out how to create your own profile class to take control of the personalization process at the application level.
ADVISOR SUMMIT ON MICROSOFT.NET VS, ASP & SQL April 9 - 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada
Peter will be presenting on:
How to Integrate Microsoft Access with Microsoft Excel When your users need to be able to interactively work with and analyze data, you could write a ton of code in Access -- or you could just let your users send their data to Excel where your user can use the most powerful tool for analyzing data available to the typical user. This session will look at all the tools available to the Access developer to move data to Excel, both in a batch mode and interactively. You'll also see how to get the best possible performance when exporting data. SQL for Application Developers Microsoft Access developers need to be able to use SQL effectively to create applications that run fast, reduce demands on the database, and deliver the data the application needs. In fact, if you want to get the best possible performance you need SQL. SQL updates outperform recordset processing by orders of magnitude .This session will show you how to "think in SQL," how to ensure that you get the best possible performance, and how to solve several common problems in data-driven Access applications. How to Leverage Web Services from Microsoft Access Web services are becoming a more important part of application development. In this session, you'll see how to use the Microsoft Office Web Services Toolkit for accessing Web services from Microsoft Access (or any Office product). In addition to accessing a variety of Web services (including Google, Amazon, and internally developed services), you'll see how to process the results and how to integrate them with your application. ACCESS USER May 24 - 27 in Readding, England In addition to giving the keynote address, Peter will be presenting on:
Building Applications in Access: Now and the Future Peter looks at the best practices in the current versions of Access that carry over to Access 12, and what new skills Access developers will need to know.
Getting Data Fast in Access The key to a successful database application is getting data to your users quickly. Peter looks at the key techniques for ensuring fast data access in your Access application.
