BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
After the success of BarCamp at BarCampBangalore and BarCampMumbai it is coming to BarCamppune and I think it is going to be a greater success here. I am looking forward to this event and it is going to be a great fun.

Some useful articles on .NET 2.0
1. Comparing Strings in .NET 2.0
Sometimes the seemingly simplest things turn out to be the most difficult. For example, one would think that comparing strings in a program would be simple. It turns out that things can get ugly very quickly, and prior to .NET 2.0 there wasn’t a foolproof way to eliminate the problem.
Here is a good article on Comparing Strings in .NET 2.0 . This article very well describes how to compare culture-invariant strings: strings that must compare identically regardless of the culture. This article takes the well known the "Turkish I" problem to explain how to Compare Culture-Invariant Strings in .NET 2.0.
2. New Memory Management Functions in .NET 2.0
This article talks about the new memory management functions in .NET 2.0. Several new memory management facilities have been added to .NET 2.0 to have more control on garbage collector and ability to check for sufficient memory. This article also talks about new garbage collector functionality.
3. Playing Sounds with .NET 2.0
The .NET 2.0 Framework Class Library includes a new class in the System.Media namespace, called SoundPlayer. SoundPlayer provides a simple interface for loading and playing a .wav file. This is a much nicer and more robust interface than the PlaySound interface that programmers used in previous versions and is described in Playing Simple Sounds.
4. NET Delegates: A C# Bedtime Story
A nice and good article on delegates in .NET 2.0. C# Bedtime story modified for 2.0.
5. Guidelines for Test-Driven Development
Find out how to incorporate Visual Studio Team System into test-driven development practices emphasized in Agile development methodologies.

What is the Maximum Page Size in SQL Server 2000?
I have always read and also told others that 8060 is the maximum page size in SQL server 2000. Earliear when I had came accross this error "The total row size for table exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). Rows that exceed the maximum number of bytes will not be added." even if the row size in my create table script was slightly less than 8060, I used to think that SQL server requires some sapce for its overheads to store header etc. information.
Recently I came across this article What is the Maximum Page Size in SQL Server 2000? by Steve Jones. This article explains in detail where and how much space SQL server requires and also that maximum possible row size is in fact 8039.
