Error connecting to SQL Server from Windows 7 / Windows 2008 R2 with ASP.NET

Posted: 07 Oct 2009 01:41 PM PDT

Just ran into this and thought I'd share.  If you are trying to connect to SQL Server from your Web application running on Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 and you're getting a message that looks like this: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed. I can probably help you out.  The IIS team made a change to the default identity of the worker process.   Starting with IIS 7.5, Application Pools run with a unique identity based on the Application Pool name, rather than NetworkService – the default identity for IIS6 and IIS7.  The primary reason for...(read more)

Posted: 07 Oct 2009 04:05 AM PDT

Introducing Mia Yokoyama Haack

Posted: 07 Oct 2009 06:57 AM PDT

This morning at 3:17 AM, Mia Yokoyama Haack was born weighing in at 7lb 8.5 oz. Now my world domination crew is complete! Mia is a fast little one as labor started around 11 PM and she was delivered only four hours later! This time around, we did a water birth at a birthing center which involves the momma sitting in a big tub for the last part of labor and delivery, which made for a much more comfortable experience than last time. I think she'd definitely recommend it. We were back home by 6:30 AM which just amazes me. Momma and Baby are doing well. I'm still getting over my cold, but I think the adrenaline of the whole experience helped a lot. :) Read More......(read more)

Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 26: Authentication and Personalization

Posted: 05 Oct 2009 05:04 PM PDT

The data we work with in business application is valuable.  We need to protect the data.. sometimes by keeping up with exactly who accesses and updates what data when and other times we need to actively prevent data from being accessed expected by trust parties.    The web is increasingly becoming a personal place – applications often "know about you" enabling users to having customized settings that work everywhere the apps works.  In this example, I will take our ever popular SuperEmployees application and augment it to show more details on the authentication and personalization.  You can see the full series here . The demo requires (all 100% free and always free): VS2008 SP1 Silverlight 3 RTM .NET RIA Services...(read more)

Working with SVG files in Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer

Posted: 06 Oct 2009 09:32 AM PDT

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is W3C standard language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML. Firefox 3+, Opera 9+ and Safari 3+ support SVG rendering. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 8 does not support SVG natively and requires a plug-in. There a plug in from Adobe (although support was discontinued this year) as well as few pulg-ins listed in Wikipedia article on SVG . SVG element is part of upcoming HTML 5 standard which allows inline SVG in HTML documents. Inline SVG is not yet fully supported in modern browsers so you probably still want to use <object> element for now. For example: < html > < head > < title > SVG test </ title > </ head > < body > <...(read more)
