Rather than just dropping the SPROC anywhere on the designer, though, we'll instead drop the SPROC on top of the existing "Product" class in our data model designer

- Creating Domain and Forest Trusts
 Updated: March 2, 2005
 
 In Windows Server 2003, there are four trust types that must be created manually. External trusts, realm trusts, and forest trusts help provide interoperability with domains outside your forest or with realms. Shortcut trusts optimize access to resources and logons that are made between domain trees in the same forest.
 
 The following tasks for creating domain and forest trusts are described in this objective:
 
 To add users from another domain you must create a domain trust.

Learn how to take advantage of MVC to design better Web apps that separate their architectural elements -- the UI, business logic, and code -- properly, as well as how to review what you create with unit testing.

- I had to revisit this "impossible problem". Fact is, the answer is so simple if you just sit down and think it through!
- Transfer Session Variables from Classic ASP to ASP.NET
- // We iterate through the Form collection and assign the names and values
  // to ASP.NET session variables! We have another Session Variable, "DestPage"
  // that tells us where to go after taking care of our business...
- ' We graf all the session variable names/values and stick them in a form
  ' and then we submit the form to our receiving ASP.NET page (ASPNETPage1.aspx)...
- So unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be) I had to revisit this "impossible problem". Fact is, the answer is so simple if you just sit down and think it through!

ALTER DATABASE Compatibility Level (Transact-SQL) 2

Dec 29, 08

msdn.microsoft.com/...bb510680.aspx GoogleNoteBook
- For all installations of SQL Server 2008, the default compatibility level is 100. Databases created in SQL Server 2008 are set to this level unless the model database has a lower compatibility level. When a database is upgraded to SQL Server 2008 from any earlier version of SQL Server, the database retains its existing compatibility level if it is at least 80. Upgrading a database with a compatibility level below 80 sets the database to compatibility level 80. This applies to both system and user databases. Use ALTER DATABASE to change the compatibility level of the database. To view the current compatibility level of a database, query the compatibility_level column in the sys.databases catalog view.

Database Pro requires local SQL 2005 instance??... 1

Dec 25, 08

social.msdn.microsoft.com/...f9-a0fc-4c53-b403-4bc82cfdbc1c GoogleNoteBook
- Correct we require a local SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance, which is why SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition is included in the project.
  In order to validate just the changes from the developer (in isolation) we use this local "scratch" database for syntax validation, so we are sure we can build the project. None of the state in this database is supposed to be shared, which is why you are not deploying to this database either, but to your target database. The target database can be living on a shared and remote server. This will not change for v1.0 of the product, in a future release this might change since we will only use the kind of validation at build time, and not as a continous background compilation process, which is what we have right now. Which was an other reason why we choose to have a local and private database to do this work against, since the latency is much smaller when this is local.
