Renaissance's SQL Express / Visual Studio Starter Kit Now Available for Download from microsoft.com

The SQL Express / Visual Studio Starter Kit that we developed for Microsoft is now available for download !

The Teacher Starter Kit is a desktop Winforms application that uses SQL Express as its data store.  It is not designed as an enterprise application - it is targeted to less experienced developers and/or developers developing simpler applications.   However, what it does do, it does really well.  It shows off various different techniques and technologies, including the new DataSet and TableAdapter designer, the new data binding controls, the new ReportViewer control, and extending the functionality of the TableAdapter (implementing transactions) via partial classes.

Download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/starterkit/default.aspx#teacher (available in both VB and C#)

Check it out, then tell your friends and colleagues about it.   Comments and questions can be posted here or sent to StarterKits@renaissance.co.il.
