DevConnections Demos and presentations online

I have been doing a bit of organizing and gotten the following two sessions from DevConnections on-line.

  • Advanced Data Access with ADO.NET 2.0
  • Five (Supposedly) Scary Things about .NET

These can be found on the “talks” page of my website.
The talks are listed alphabetically with links to the PPT and ZIP files just after the descriptions.

I still have to package up the code from the third talk: “Preparing WSE3 Web Services for WCF Clients”.

Planting Peas

The power went out for a short while today. Though I have no idea what stroke of luck caused this to happen on a 70 degree sunny day, I took great advantage of it and planted peas in the veggie garden bed. Most things can’t be planted until after memorial day. But to sate my need to get gardening, I have seeds for a bunch of things that can get started early.

ok I retitled the post – didn’t want to trick anyone into reading about my garden ….<g>

SQL Permissions for SQLNotificationRequest in ADO.NET 2.0

Though I have the necessary permissions for using SqlDependency almost memorized (as well as documented in my presentations and my new CoDe Mag article on Query Notification), I tend to forget that when using the lower level SqlNotificationRequest, that you need permissions to send and receive on your custom services and queues.

Here’s how to do that and here is the MSDN Documentation on the same.

In this example, the ASPNET account is the one for IIS5 that I have set up in my SQL Server. Use whichever account is going to be accessing the services and queues.

GRANT RECEIVE ON MyNotifQueue TO ASPNET

GRANT SEND ON SERVICE::[MyNotifService] TO [ASPNET]

Highest Priced Computer Service in Town

Having spoken a few times over the years at the one of the Poughkeepsie NY ACM groups, I am on their mailing list. I got a good laugh from the recent mailing announcing a talk about Image Storage ex-IBM engineer (that describes most of the members of the chapter) who has an I.T. support business. In his business description, he says:

To keep from being swamped with more and more business, Jerry has adopted a new slogan:  Highest Priced Computer Service in Town.
