Strongly Typed Session Wrapper

I attended Raymond Lewellan’s presentation on building a Strongly Typed Session Wrapper at the Tulsa Tech Fest. Raymond did a great job. This concept is one that I believe every new asp.net developer should be exposed to. Unfortunately I have yet to see it really discussed in any asp.net books. A quick Google search reveals a number of good discussions on wrapping session in asp.net.

Another concept that Raymond covered briefly was the use of a base page class that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page. Unlike the session wrapper I have seen suggestions to use base page class in at least one asp.net book.

All in all this was a good presentation in which I learned some valuable concepts.

I had a great time at the 1st Tulsa Tech Fest. If you are a dot net developer or a programmer of any ilk living in Oklahoma you missed out. There were over 100 sessions covering the gamut of Microsoft development technologies, the pre-requisite buzz word topics, open source, java and the list goes on. Of the six sessions I attended I was only disappointed by one and that was only because the speaker was disorganized. I would have been happy with just a couple of good sessions. Heck for the price(FREE) I would have been happy with one solid session.

Did I mention the FREE part? The free part was the just icing on the cake. The ice cream, cherry, insert your favorite topping here on top was the fact that I won a DXperience Enterprise subscription from Dev Express.

Check back for more posts on the sessions and my experience with the products included in the DXperience Enterprise subscription.
