***Updating Data Safely with A DataSet, by Alex Homer

OK, so we cant store all three values for a row (the current, original
and the underlying values) in the tables of our DataSet. Is this actually
important? What do we actually need to perform the process, and what do
users actually expect to see? Can we make do with just two values instead
of three, (and dont you hate books that keep asking questions)?

Author Interviews

***With Franois Liger, Craig McQueen and Paul Wilton, authors of Visual
Basic .NET Text Manipulation Handbook.

[AP] What do you think this book brings to the Visual Basic .NET
developer, and so who do you think needs this book?

[CM] The book provides a quick easy reference for string programming
tasks. String manipulation is a large part of programming and it is
difficult to remember it all. Having an accessible reference assists in
finding existing code to do the job rather than rewriting something that
is already in the platform. It's valuable for all .NET developers.

[PW] I think all VB.NET developers need this book. String handling and
regular expressions are not arcane topics for high-flying gurus - they are
the stuff of everyday programming! The regular expression chapters give a
great insight into what at first can seem a tricky topic. In addition the
regular expression reference at the back of the book is worth its weight
in gold - certainly more readable than all the documentation I had to work
with when writing the book.

[AP] In two sentences, explain what strings are in .NET.

***With Tobin Titus, author of Visual Basic .NET Threading Handbook

In June, Wrox brought out a slim 260-page volume on threading in VB.NET.
There has been some confusion as to why we would want to bring a book out
on what seems a straightforward topic. In this article we interview Tobin
Titus (one of the authors on this title) and ask him various questions on
the book, as well getting his opinions on various programming-related
topics.

What is free threading? 

Free threading is the ability to control execution to the utmost within an
application. While VB developers have been able to control some aspects of
threading in the past, they haven't been completely free to control those
threads in the manner that they desire. Free threading allows the
developer to make decisions on when a thread should start, when it should
end, and what it should do while executing.

***C#Today Free Code Download

Due to customer feedback, C#Today have decided to try out something new
this week - we are making this week's code  download \ support material
available to all non-subscribers (providing they are a member of the Wrox
Developer Community, which is free to join).

This week's case study: Generating Design Patterns Using CodeDOM 
http://www.csharptoday.com/content/articles/20020722.asp?&tid026

The Code Document Model (CodeDOM), which provides the ability to generate
source code in a number of the managed languages, is a very powerful .NET
facility and has attracted much interest. Within Visual Studio .NET, a
complementary though unrelated feature is provided by the CodeModel
object, which allows programmatic access to hand-written code. Together
these two tools provide a platform from which it should be possible to
develop a VS.NET add-in to streamline the production of common designs in
code. This case study follows the development of such a tool, which
attempts to automate the generation of a widespread design pattern in an
existing C# or VB.NET project.


***Get on the Fast Track to Success

If you are an experienced programmer who needs to get up to speed on core
.NET Technologies as quickly as possible, the Fast Track series is for
you.

The Fast Track books complement our Beginning and Professional series by
providing concise guides to core topics. They deliver the essential facts
and understanding that are required to start taking advantage of .NET. By
targeting specific groups of experienced developers, the books are able to
concentrate on providing valuable information rather than covering basics.

<b>Updating Data Safely with a DataSet,</b> an article by <font color="#CC0000"><b> Alex Homer</b></font>

"OK, so we cant store all three values for a row (the current, original and the underlying values) in the 
tables of our DataSet. Is this actually important? What do we actually need to perform the process, and 
what do users actually expect to see? Can we make do with just two values instead of three, (and dont 
you hate books that keep asking questions)?"<br><br>

<b>AUTHOR INTERVIEWS</b>
<br>
<br>
- With <font color="#CC0000"><b>Franois Liger, Craig McQueen</b></font> and <font color="#CC0000"><b>Paul Wilston,</b></font> 
authors of <a href="http://www.wrox.com/ACON11.asp?ISBN=1861007302&tid027">Visual Basic .NET Text Manipulation Handbook</a>
<br>
<br>
<b>Q. What do you think this book brings to the Visual Basic .NET developer, and so who do you think needs this book?</b><br><br> 

<font color="#CC0000">[CM]</font> The book provides a quick easy reference for string programming tasks. String manipulation is a 
large part of programming and it is difficult to remember it all. Having an accessible reference assists in finding existing code 
to do the job rather than rewriting something that is already in the platform. It's valuable for all .NET developers.<br> 

<font color="#CC0000">[PW]</font> I think all VB.NET developers need this book. String handling and regular expressions are 
not arcane topics for high-flying gurus - they are the stuff of everyday programming! The regular expression chapters give a 
great insight into what at first can seem a tricky topic. In addition the regular expression reference at the back of the book 
is worth its weight in gold - certainly more readable than all the documentation I had to work with when writing the book.<br> 

<font color="#CC0000">[AP]</font> In two sentences, explain what strings are in .NET<br><br>

<br><br>
In June, Wrox brought out a slim 260-page volume on threading in VB.NET. There has been some confusion as to why we would want to bring a book out on what 
seems a straightforward topic. In this article we interview Tobin Titus (one of the authors on this title) and ask him various questions on the book, as 
well getting his opinions on various programming-related topics.<br><br> 

<b>Q. What is free threading?</b><br><br> 

Free threading is the ability to control execution to the utmost within an application. While VB developers have been able to control some aspects of 
threading in the past, they haven't been completely free to control those threads in the manner that they desire. Free threading allows the developer 
to make decisions on when a thread should start, when it should end, and what it should do while executing.<br><br>

<b>Get on the Fast Track to Success</b><br><br>

If you are an experienced programmer who needs to get up to speed on core .NET Technologies as quickly as possible, the Fast Track series is for you. 
The Fast Track books complement our Beginning and Professional series by providing concise guides to core topics. They deliver the essential facts and 
understanding that are required to start taking advantage of .NET. By targeting specific groups of experienced developers, the books are able to 
concentrate on providing valuable information rather than covering basics.<br><br>

<b>C#Today Free Code Download</b>
<br>
<br>
Due to customer feedback, C#Today have decided to try out something new this week - we are making this week's code  download \ support material available to all non-subscribers 
(providing they are a member of the Wrox Developer Community, which is free to join).<br><br>


<b>This week's case study: Generating Design Patterns Using CodeDOM</b> 
<a href="http://www.csharptoday.com/content/articles/20020722.asp?&tid027">http://www.csharptoday.com/content/articles/20020722.asp?&tid027</a>

The Code Document Model (CodeDOM), which provides the ability to generate source code in a number of the managed languages, is a very powerful .NET facility and has 
attracted much interest. Within Visual Studio .NET, a complementary though unrelated feature is provided by the CodeModel object, which allows programmatic access to 
hand-written code. Together these two tools provide a platform from which it should be possible to develop a VS.NET add-in to streamline the production of common designs 
in code. This case study follows the development of such a tool, which attempts to automate the generation of a widespread design pattern in an existing C# or VB.NET project.<br><br>
