Fix that app, darnit!

It’s called the ‘White Screen of Darn’ or WSOD for short and it’s trying to tell you something about your app!   This whitepaper provides some very useful information on how to take advantage of the information on this screen to get your app back up and on its feet!

SQL Everywhere

If you’re at TechEd, you can hear about ‘SQL Server Everywhere’ in Steve Lasker’s talk on 6/16.   SQL Server Everywhere is an extremely lightweight version of SQL Server that can be deployed the full range of Windows platforms from CE to client and server platforms.   So when we say lightweight, how light do we mean? How about slightly more than the size of a floppy disk?  This screenshot shows the full size of the runtime files:

Once SQL Server Everywhere is installed it will install the ClickOnce sample app.   Here’s a quick screenshot but download the CTP to see for yourself just what you can do with a database you can deploy with any app!
