1 Swamp Coast Overview
The Swamp Coast Code Camp #3 in SWFla is gonna be another stellar event. This code camp is @ FGCU which provided a nice venue. The best part of code camps is all the people that are there to talk tek with. I”m really looking forward to relaxin with my geek friends & learning a bunch. There are going to be some great sessions there some that I’m looking forward to seeing are mostly in WP7Dev such as:

Design for WP7 – Diane Leeper
Push Notification with Windows Phone 7 Jonas Stawski
WP7 – Tips & Tricks Kevin ‘WolfBytes’ Wolf
WP7 Marketplace, Panel, Install Fest Nikita Polyakov

Special thanks to John Dunagan & all the people who volunteered to make this event possible.

2 Data Driven .NET App Session Overview
This year my session is going to Data Driven .NET Applications. This session will be fun with a ton of content. It’s meant for any skill level, the main concept we’re going to discuss is to have content of apps driven by a data source not just static. There will be a great mix of theory & code. Here is what I plan to discuss:

DB Driven Mindset - Static vs.. Data Drive Apps
DB Dev / T-SQL
Web App ASP.NET
Data Access ADO.NET
WP7 - XML RSS Data Source

   public class DAL
   {
        private static string ConnectionString
        {
            get
            {
                return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["100827_wpb5ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
            }
        }

        public static DataTable ExecuteDataTable(string storedProcedureName, params SqlParameter[] arrParam)
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);

            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(storedProcedureName, cn);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;


            if (cn.State == ConnectionState.Closed || cn.State == ConnectionState.Broken)
                cn.Open();

            try
            {
                if (arrParam != null)
                {
                    foreach (SqlParameter param in arrParam)
                        cmd.Parameters.Add(param);
                }

                SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
                da.Fill(dt);
                return dt;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new Exception("Error: " + ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                cmd.Dispose();
