I found a small bug in my initial release of the VistaDB providers DLL that I released on Friday. I have made the correction and updated the download.

For my presentation at Philly Code Camp this past weekend, I talked about the provider model and we used BlogEngine.NET as the source code for the talk.

They really do a fantastic job of putting a code camp together. It was very well organized and really ran through without a hitch. This was my first time speaking at a code camp and it was a very inte...

A week from this Saturday, I'll be at the Philly.NET Code Camp 2008.2. I was at the January Code Camp and had a great time. There were lots of great people to talk with and interesting sessions that got me thinking about things. I had met Bill Wolfe, the head of Philly.NET, at MIX08 in March and had offered to be a speaker in the spring Code Camp. He said to get in touch closer to the camp. So when the call for speakers went out in early April, ...
