Improved IIS Debugging: Understanding and Using The Newest Tools and Theories for Debugging Web Applications Ken Shaefer
The key to successfully attacking problems in IIS applications is to understand the architecture of IIS. Although this session focuses on IIS 6.0, it will outline what administrators and developers should know to successfully debug Web applications. Learn the techniques used by seasoned debuggers at Microsoft, while we also introduce a new but powerful tool called IIS Debug Diagnostics. IIS Debug Diagnostics is a slick tool used to configure the right debug method based on the symptoms.

Introducing System.Transactions and New Features Nigel Watson
.NET 1.1 offered developers two transactional programming models: explicit local transaction management or declarative use of the DTC via Enterprise Services. Both models have their advantages: the first is straightforward and the second supports distribution and integration with Enterprise Services. However, both have disadvantages and neither one is superior to the other in every respect. Version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework introduces an exciting new transactional programming model available in the System.Transactions namespace which offers the advantages of both models while separating the programming model from the transaction management, and even enabling distribution without changes to the application code. This session begins by briefly describing the traditional programming models and the motivation for the new model, then presenting System.Transactions, its features and its promoting capabilities, and some advance features such as concurrency management and cloning.
