Entity Framework 4: Part 1 - Simple Model First

Eric Nelson — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:57:00 GMT

This is part 1 of a series of short introductory screencasts to the new features of ADO.NET Entity Framework 4, which is part of .NET 4 and Visual Studo 2010. It was created using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.

In this 10 minute screencast I explore the new Model First capability of Entity Framework. Model First allows you to create your Entity Data Model from scratch, focusing on defining the conceptual model from which we can then generate a database schema and mapping.

It is based on the demos I delivered during my Entity Framework session at TechEd Europe in November (DEV305).

Parallel Debugging in Visual Studio 2010 - MSDN mag companion

Daniel Moth — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:37:00 GMT

Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth

Introduction:
This screencasts covers the new Parallel Tasks and Parallel Stacks debugging windows in Visual Studio 2010.

It demonstrates the sample code from the MSDN Magazine on this topic which you can read here:
Debugging Task-Based Parallel Applications in Visual Studio 2010

MFC: Integrating your application with the Windows Restart Manager [MFC: Integrating your application with the Windows Restart Manager]

Charles — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:37:00 GMT

This is a short demonstration of new MFC features in MFC which help with integrating your application with the Windows Restart Manager. This is done by implementing handlers for restart and crash recovery, and by integrating an auto-save feature that uses the document-view architecture to save intermediate temporary copies of your document. This is implemented in an application generated by the MFC application wizard. Pat Brenner, MFC guru and one of the folks who design and implement MFC is your host.

Check out Pat's screencast tutorial on implementing handlers for preview, thumbnail and search filtering

Speeding up Parallel.For using the Range Partitioner

Phil Pennington — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:29:00 GMT

Join Danny Shih as he demonstrates using the range partitioner feature. Parallel.For is great, but being a general solution, it does not perform optimally for certain specific scenarios, such as when there are a ton of iterations and very little work per iteration. In these cases, the range partitioner can be used to speed things up.
