Two New Speaking Engagements
I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking at two major conferences this year in addition to my regular round of User Group presentations.
 | VSLive Toronto Threading in Windows Forms
Paul Ballard, Rochester Consulting Partnership, Inc.

Windows Forms programming poses some unique threading hurdles. Many of those have been overcome in .NET 2.0 with the introduction of the BackgroundWorker component. In this session we’ll look at how to use the BGW to keep your user interface responsive as well as other threading tricks to ensure that your applications make the most of today’s powerful processors. Click-Once Deployment: Beyond the Basics
Paul Ballard, Rochester Consulting Partnership, Inc.
2 p.m.
Click-Once deployment gives developers the opportunity to use the web as a means to deploy custom Windows applications. But what’s actually happening when you publish an application via the web? And what happens when the user installs and runs the application? This session will look beyond the demos at the files generated via the “Publish” wizards, how .NET applications deployed on the web can be run and installed, and how Code Access Security makes this type of deployment safe. |
