If you are caching data using SQL Cache Dependency with the SqlCacheDependency parameter set to "CommandNotification", and then restore or detach/attach your database (say, during a deployment), you will likely see this error:
"The SQL Server Service Broker for the current database is not enabled, and as a result query notifications are not supported. Please enable the Service Broker for this database if you wish to use notifications."
This is caused by the fact that the service broker is disabled automatically during these operations. To re-enable it, you need to run the following:
ALTER DATABASE
YOUR_DATABASE
SET ENABLE_BROKER
Microsoft has released the Acropolis CTP, a set of tools and components that help developers quickly assemble applications from loosely-coupled parts and services. With Acropolis you will be able to:
-
Quickly create WPF enabled user experiences for your client applications.
-
Build client applications from reusable, connectable, modules that allow you to easily create complex, business-focused applications in less time.
-
Integrate and host your modules in applications such as Microsoft Office, or quickly build stand-alone client interfaces.
-
Change the look and feel of your application quickly using built-in themes, or custom designs using XAML.
-
Add features such as workflow navigation and user-specific views with minimal coding.
-
Manage, update, and deploy your application modules quickly and easily.
David Hill has put together a short video walkthrough of using Acropolis:

What is Digg?
"Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on Digg is submitted by our community (that would be you). After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see.
What can you do as a Digg user? Lots. Every person can digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories... you can even Digg and bury comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends' activity throughout the site — want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it!"
I have been visiting Digg at least 2-3 times per week to read the quick posts. I usually jump directly to "Top in 24 Hours" page. This page usually has some really interesting links: http://www.digg.com/news/popular/24hours
If you decide to post a link, be sure your server can handle the hits. Everyday, sites crash due to too many hits too fast from Digg users. Or if your hosting provider has limits on bandwidth, you might lose your account all together. Fortunately, we have our own servers and can handle this type of traffic.
Back to the topic of this blog...if you decide to post a link on Digg, here's the snippet of code you need to add to your website to add the Digg Link to your website:
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = "digg url to your link";
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = "http://digg.com/software/20_Promo_Code_SGMAY07_good_for_1_week";
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
results in this:
