Carl Prothman's .NET Blog

This past week, Carl Franklin and Rory Blyth talk with noted ADO and ADO.NET guru Carl Prothman about ASP.NET, being an MVP, INETA, ADO.NET, ASP.NET Security, and Visual Studio.NET. 

I attended the ASP.NET Road Show (ASP Exposed) by Scott Guthrie a few days ago.  Wow!  I had a great time! There were over 300 folks who showed up at the Microsoft conference center. And about 100 of those folks were from the .NET Developers Association.

Well PDC has come and gone.  I had hope to blog each day on each keynote / session that I attended, but there were too many sessions and too little time...  ;-)   

Well I finally made to PDC after spending 8 hours in the SEATAC airport.  I got into LA at 7 PM.   While the plane was about to land in LA, I could see the fires below.  Wow! My heart goes out to the folks who last their home - over 1500 now!

Hurray!  I'm on my way to PDC!  No wait, flight has been cancelled due a fire in LA. It's the hurry up and wait game.  Sigh...  An interesting note:  There were several Microsoft speakers (including a keynote speaker) on the same flight.  I think they were going to catch a plane to Denver, then transfer to Los Vegas, then drive to LA (a 5 hour drive).   I wish them the best of luck.  I'm going to wait it out here at SEATAC.

Hey!  I got re-awarded as a Microsoft ASP.NET MVP!   ;-)

While in debug mode in Visual Studio .NET, do you ever get tired
of typing in the following commands into the Intermediate window?
