Speaker at C# Corner MVP Summit

I presented a talk session in C# Corner MVP Summit on C# 5.0 Asyn Programming. In my talk I covered the Aync Patterns and a code demo of pulling 2 million rows from a sql db table without blocking UI. I.e. asynchronously.

 

Technology used: C# 5.0, Entity Framework 5.0, WPF, Visual Studio 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2.
Pattern use: Async and await
