Art and sessions' XML
So, I took a picture last night. You have to trust me, it's real Art. No, really! And it looks like the mymsevents.com site doesn't embed the sessions' XML data into the search pages anymore, so there's no immediate way (except for major coding that looks...

In LA. Like everybody else, it seems...
So the flight was pleasurable, except for the dense clouds of smoke from brushfires around LAX, and the hotel doesn't have free wireless. Oh well. On the shuttle from the airport to the hotel I met Shaun Walker, the mantainer of the DotNetNuke portal...

Constantly updated sessions data
Just a reminder that the sessions XML datafile is constantly being updated with the latest info. Just download it according to the instructions in the previous post and be up to date like all the cool boys! (and girls, of course)

PDC Sessions update!
New sessions, new speakers, oh my! Go download the new events XML datafile , then copy it to the folder in your Pocket PC, remove the PDC.sdf file (not the MyPDC.sdf!) and run the PDCSessionsBrowser application. It will take a bit to create and repopulate...

Windows cron
What would be the best way to execute an .NET executable every, say, 3 hours? And how should I build it, as an .aspx with no output? Suggestions are welcome :)
Little fixes
After a comment by an early adopter, I fixed the issue of multiple speaker entries in the search form. I'm still working on a decent search by date/time UI, I tried loading all timeslots into a combo box, but somehow it doesn't look right. Any suggestions...

PDC Sessions Release 1.0
Well, version 1.0 is done. Get the executable and the datafiles here , and remember you'll need Sql Server CE 2.0 installed on your device to use this application. More details later, now I have to fix an Asheron's Call plugin written in VB6 :) In the...

Timing pain
PocketPC 2002 is not a speed demon. PocketPC 2002 with .NET Compact Framework is even less speedy. PocketPC 2002 with .NET Compact Framework and a lousy data access strategy downright sucks. It's not the actual operation of the code, it's the data loading...

Little improvement...
From a 37 seconds startup time in normal conditions, I went to 4 seconds in optimal/normal conditions (i.e.: database up to date) or 45 seconds if the database has to be completely regenerated with new data. Only downside: now the application carries...
