Implementing SQL Express
SQL Express is the version of SQL Server 2005 designed to replace MSDE. In some scenarios, SQL Express is a viable replacement for the JET/Access database engine - it's safer and more reliable. Because SQL Express does not behave like JET in most respects, it can be a challenge for JET developers to understand how to control SQL Express and leverage its power from their applications.
This talk discusses the differences in SQL Express, MSDE, JET and the other SQL Server Editions - including the just-announced SQL Server Everywhere edition. See how SQL Server Everywhere (which builds on the proven codebase of SQL Mobile) fills a need for a lightweight DBMS where SQL Express might be overkill.
The session includes an overview of the new SQL Server Management Studio Express toolset and code used to manage SQL Express (or any instance of SQL Server) including discovery, starting, stopping and pausing instances. We also demonstrate how Visual Studio leverages SQL Server Express functionality into the IDE and permits developers to create, configure and deploy SQL Server Express databases with their applications.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server: Reporting Services
Based on Bill's latest book, this session walks you through a series of live code examples that illustrate how to leverage the new Visual Studio and SQL Server 2005 RDL-based reporting features. We'll see how to create a new report from scratch and how to import a report created with SQL Server Reporting Services.
We'll setup a report-specific data source, capture user parameters to focus the report data, capture multiple-select parameters, pass parameters to the queries and execute stored procedures to return data for the report. We'll build table and chart reports and applications used to launch the reports. We'll show how to deploy the reports and implement (fake) some of the features you'll only find on Reporting Services.
We'll also look at the new SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services features that can leverage this same technology as implemented in SQL Server Express and other editions. When you're done you'll have a better understanding of the differences between the Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services implementations.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server: Connecting
Using a series of demos drawn from his latest book, Bill guides you through the maze of issues you'll face as you connect to, manage and monitor SQL Server instances-including the new SQL Express instance.
He'll show the new utilities and code used to configure SQL Server 2005 including demonstrations of code used to create the new SqlConnectionStringBuilder, how to discover data source instances as well as start, stop, pause and continue these instances as well as how to configure, manage and monitor the connection pool using new 2.0 Framework classes.
Bill will also show you how to capture and display real-time operational statistics including data from the new performance counters.
