SQL Server 2008 - Reading FileStream Data

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:50:23 GMT

SQL Server 2008 has a new extension to the varbinary(max) datatype which allows you to store arbitrary large blobs "in the database" from the perspective of data access and backup but the actual data is stored in the filesystem.

In this session we take a look at how we can use FileStream and access it (for read-only) from the client side.

In a subsequent video, we'll take a look at write access.

SQL Server 2008 - Writing data with FileStream

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 22:42:59 GMT

In this session we follow on from a previous video and take a look at how we can use FileStream and write data into it using standard .NET FileStream API's.

Decomposing LINQ

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:38:20 GMT

This video assumes that you have seen the new language features in C# v3.0 and that you have seen the LINQ syntax that ships with .NET Framework 3.5. The video focuses on fully explaining the relationship between the new language features and LINQ.

Wrapping Windows APIs with C++/CLI

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:00:00 GMT

C++/CLI is a great technology for marrying existing C/C++ code with new .NET code. In this session we'll take a brief look at how we can wrap up a Windows API with C++/CLI in order to make use of it from C# code.

C# Version 3.0 - Pieces of LINQ

Mon, 09 Oct 2006 07:00:00 GMT

In this session, we'll take some of the pieces of Language Integrated Query (LINQ) that we've looked at previously in the C# V3.0 language and start to build them together.

C# Version 3.0 - Anonymous Types

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:00:00 GMT

In version 2.0 of the C# language the compiler learnt how to generate anonymous methods. In version 3.0 it's learnt how to generate anonymous types. It's fiendishly clever, and we'll have a look at how it's done in this session.

C# Version 3.0 - Collection Initialisers

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:00:00 GMT

In C# version 3.0, a generic collection such as List<T> can be initialised in a single line of code. Here we take a quick look.

C# Version 3.0 - Extension Methods

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:00:00 GMT

In version 3.0 of the C# language you can write methods that 'appear' to belong to other classes. These are called extension methods, and we have a look at how it's done in this session.

C# Version 3.0 - Implicit Typing

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:00:00 GMT

It's possible to declare local variables without specifying their types in C# version 3.0. Is this late-binding? Is it variants? Watch the session to find out.

C# Version 3.0 - Object Initialisers

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:00:00 GMT

A quick look at the new Object Initialiser feature in the C# language version 3.0, which lets you create and initialise an instance of a class all in one line of code regardless of constructors.

Windows Workflow Foundation: Correlation

Sat, 26 Aug 2006 07:00:00 GMT

Workflow Foundation has automatic capabilities for correlating messages that leave a Workflow instance with messages that are received by that same instance, making message exchange easier to deal with. In this session we'll look at how that's achieved.

Windows Workflow Foundation: Transactions

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 07:00:00 GMT

Workflow has rich capabilities for dealing with transactional work. In this session we'll explore how we can make use of the TransactionScope activity and also how to compensate for atomic transactions in circumstances where the Workflow has to reverse work already done.

Writing user defined aggregate functions in .NET managed code

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 07:00:00 GMT

We can write new aggregate functions (sum, count) in managed languages such as C# and VB. Let's take a quick look at how that happens.

Writing User Defined Types with .NET managed code

Thu, 10 Feb 2005 08:00:00 GMT

SQL's type system can be extended with managed languages such as C# and VB. So, how do we do that? Let's look ...

Writing triggers in .NET managed code

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 08:00:00 GMT

We can now write triggers in managed languages such as C# and VB. Let's take a look...

Writing stored procedures in .NET managed code

Tue, 11 Jan 2005 08:00:00 GMT

In this session we'll look at how we can use managed languages such as C# and VB to write stored procedures for SQL Server.

Writing user defined functions in .NET managed code

Tue, 11 Jan 2005 08:00:00 GMT

This session takes a look at writing new database functions in managed languages such as C#.
