  • Article

Inspired by Korby, I thought I’d post the TechEd sessions the CLR team is doing… Come check us out… This is my first conference where I am not speaking, so I am looking forward to hanging out more with you folks!

DEV290 .NET Framework: Exploring What's New in the CLR 2.0
Tuesday, May 25 5:00 PM- 6:15 PM , Room 8
Speaker(s): Kit George
Session Type(s): Breakout
Track(s): Developer Tools and Technologies
Abstract: Learn how the .NET Framework 2.0 serves as the starting point for many of the great features you'll need to make your development experience faster, easier, and more productive. Learn about key .NET Framework 2.0 features exposed by the CLR, including Generics, ClickOnce, Edit-And-Continue (EnC), and 64Bit support. We'll also whet your appetite for some of the many and varied new Base Class features, including strongly-typed resource support, SerialPorts, a variety of improvements to IO, and even a look at cool new Console features

DEV394 .NET Framework: Migrating to Managed Code
Friday, May 28 2:45 PM- 4:00 PM , Room 20D
Speaker(s): Adam Nathan, Richard Lander
Session Type(s): Breakout
Track(s): Developer Tools and Technologies
Abstract: Dive into managed code without having to start from scratch. Take advantage of existing unmanaged code, including COM components from Microsoft Office or flat APIs such as Win32, with CLR Interop. Adopt techniques for finding and understanding problems using CLR Debug Probes. Learn how easy it is to host the CLR in an unmanaged environment such as C++ or VB6 as another approach to managed code adoption. In addition to demonstrating these technologies, we provide best practices and guidance on how to overcome common pitfalls. Using these techniques, you will able to add managed code to your existing applications and components without needing to rewrite your code.

Speaker(s): Jan Gray, Abhi Khune
Session Type(s): Breakout
Track(s): Developer Tools and Technologies
Abstract: Are you happy with the performance of your software? Is it fast and small, or slow and bloated? Learn how to successfully design, write, and deploy fast and frugal managed code applications. You will learn a performance engineering discipline that works, how managed code differs from native code, how to avoid common performance pitfalls, how to diagnose performance problems, and how to apply performance tools like perfmon and allocation profilers.
