ADO.NET in Disconnected Mode
You see how ADO.NET differs from its predecessor when you start working in disconnected mode. ADO 2.x permits you to work in disconnected mode using client-side static recordsets opened in optimistic batch update mode. This was one of the great new features of ADO that has proved to be a winner in client/ server applications of any size. As a matter of fact, working in disconnected mode is the most scalable technique you can adopt because it takes resources on the client (instead of on the server) and, above all, it doesn”t enforce any locks on database tables (except for the short-lived locks that are created during the update operation).

C# Solutions for a Face Detection and Recognition System
Key issues on using a new programming language - C# - in implementation of a face detection and recognition (FDR) system are presented. Mainly the following aspects are detailed: how to acquire an image, broadcast a video stream, manipulate a database, and finally, the detection/recognition phase, all in relation with theirs possible C#/.NET solutions. Emphasis was placed on artificial neural network (ANN) methods for face detection/recognition along with C# object oriented implementation proposal.
