Make sure that you buy 3 or 4 for the ones that you love or perhaps you can tell 3 or 4 of your family/friends to buy you a copy. I think that this would make a lovely birthday or...

I am familiar with several different builds of .NET 2.0 Whidbey that are currently running around. These are listed below along with what I think the build numbers are: Beta 1 of Whidbey / Beta 2 of Yukon. These bits are from July and are a set that go together.

If you want to run a CLR object in Sql Server 2005 (or SqlExpress), note that CLR is disabled by default on Sql Server 2005. You will need to enable the CLR.

Back with Classic ADO, you could always get the datatype of the field in a recordset (adVarChar and such).

If you have not already seen it, the Web Site Application Admin Tool included with ASP.NET Whidbey is very nice. Things that I used to pull my hair out regarding the specific syntax are now done for you in an application. This is very nice. Ok, so how do you bring it up? In Visual Web Developer, go to...

Hi folks. I am currently working on a presentation regarding ASP.NET in Whidbey . Feel free to take a look at this powerpoint document and provide some feedback. Let me know if you think that there are some things that should be added or taken out. This is for some User Group presentations that I am...

I just updated my Web Search with .NET code to run under Whidbey and to use Sql Express as the database. I had some problems getting the database structure in Sql Express. The application consists of some winforms applications to walk thru the web, MSMQ to provide an asynchronous method to store data...

So, you have downloaded sql express and installed it. You want to do something with it but you have no idea where the database is. Well, I was in that same situation earlier.
