Last night I did a presentation for the Birmingham .NET User Group on rapidly building CRUD applications using Linq and SQL Compact 3.5. The demo we built used the SQL Compact 3.5 Northwind database. It was a 3.5 Winform application that had a search area, a results grid, and a detail editor area. The presentation demonstrated how to build the whole thing in 5 or 10 minutes (or less) with very little code and using mostly drag and drop to build the interface.
The meeting went well and ended on time. We had the opportunity to congratulate Robert Cain in person on his MVP Award. We had a lot of swag last night so I believe everyone left with something including one lucky attendee who got a version of Office 2007!
