Upgrading an application from VS.NET 2003 to VS.NET Whidbey

Monday, July 5, 2004

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 (also, its out of process, so I am not stuck with exhausting the threadpool in my application). Once I changed my database connection strings and created my message queues, everything seems to just work. Due to the fact that this application use multiple projects, I used VS.NET as oppossed to the C# Express.

Does Sql Express support full-text search indexing?

Update: No, Sql Express does not support full-text search indexing.

Does it support full-text searching? If you can test it out and post result, that would be nice :)

I'll look. I tried this a few months ago and couldn't get it to work, but there were a bunch of things that didn't work a while back.

It does not support it according to Sql Express documentation.

Laurent,

Thanks. :-) I looked up in the Sql Express BOL and saw that. I included that in another post, but didn't update this post. :-)
