I had asked in the web cast about VS Standard being free.  I believe I we were told that if you attend a Virtual Lab based on VS 2005 you can get a copy of VS Standard and a book.

John, will you please go into some more detail?  Did you feel I was talking too slowly, moving through the individual topics too slowly, or something else entirely?

Paul, I did a quick search on MSN and found the following site - http://www.learn2asp.net/Campaign.aspx.  There is a promotion right now for Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition by viewing certain ASP.NET webcasts.

Will the wbcast be available to download for off line viewing like other webcasts.  When I went there today (April 6th) I could only view it on line.  The option to download it was not there.

Thanks for a link I noticed it above after I submittted the question.
I looked through chapter 4 in search for strategy for constructing dataset which is a join of two tables.
I run into a problem since the fields I am joining on are : first field the index field and another a text field with the format index_someinfo. I wrote working sql query in db2 center but it does not to seem work when used in adapter - the cast on idex as char gives me the error.
I am sure there is a simple solution by not using the adapter and handling cast in code.
Could you give the example how to do it  or point me to the method in chapter 4?

I thought that this was nice.  Part of me is trying to review what I have known before and part of me is trying to make sense of all of the various options that are out there to produce the results I need.

Thank you.

Bob, I double-checked the registration for the webcast and, if you complete the registration steps for on-demand, the final viewing page now includes a link to "Click to download Live Meeting Replay for offline viewing."

Enjoy,
Jacob

creating data sets from multiple tables can be accomplished by adding a query to the dataset in the dataset designer...

I looked for the questions asked during the webcast, but I couldn't find them.
This is a nice blog, especially the resources related to the webcast are interesting.

Agnes, it looks like mbenko was cordial enough to respond to your question about joining two tables in a dataset.  Let me know if that does the trick for you.
