Now that the Speakers page is live, it's a good time to post again that I will be giving two talks in the Advanced C# Track at VSLive! San Francisco. I am very excited as I was asked to take my CLR and Advanced COM Interop talks and make them “more advanced.” Both of these talks will be brand new so if you have seen them before come again!

Advanced CLR Programming with C#
Sam Gentile, Adesso Systems
Tuesday 5:45 p.m.
Examine topics such as assemblies, JIT compiling, Reference versus Value Types, and Garbage Collection. In addition, uncover insights into how to best utilize the .NET Framework in various scenarios, including Interop.

Advanced COM Interop with C#
Sam Gentile, Adesso Systems
Wednesday 11:45 a.m.
Many C# developers are finding that they need to interoperate with existing legacy COM components from their C# applications. There are profound differences between the COM and the CLR model and thus COM Interop out of the box doesn’t always do what the C# developer expects. We’ll review Runtime Callable Wrappers (RCWs) and COM Callable Wrappers (CCWs) and then quickly look at code-focused ways of improving your Interop experience.
