Birmingham Software Developers Association, May 14th

Next Wednesday I'll be in Birmingham, Alabama speaking on DataSets.   Yes, DataSets.  I actually have quite a fondness for DataSets and I love getting the chance to show how they can be used for the forces good.  If you'll be in the area, details are on the BSDA website.

DataSets: Code Less, Do More

Abstract: DataSets are Evil. They will hog your CPU, steal your RAM, and rob your home. This is the story surrounding DataSets, but what is fact and what is myth? In this session we will look at DataSets and the tools that go with them to see how they can save you development time while not crashing the server. We'll also dive into DataSets in 2008 with LINQ to DataSets and Unit Testing with DataSets.

I am planning on attending. I love datasets as well.

What I would like to know is how you have gotten around the default 30 second command timeout. Will you be talking to long running queries?
