I have downloaded this sample application (a .vsi file), open the web site with VWD 2005 Express Edition, run and there were no errors ! It works but there are a few things I don't understand :
- How was the dababase TimeTracker installled and when ? I thought I had to execute sql statements for this part but it is not necessary. The connection string put in the web config file is very strange for me :
and I can't connect to a database with another administration tool (SqlServer 2005 Express Edition Manager).
- I didn't find any bin directory. Where are the compiled assemblies nested for this web application ? There 's no reference to these assemblies it the solution ?
If somebody can give explanations about these points it would be helpful.
Sql Server Express has a feature called "User Instances" that allows a non administrator to attach and run a sql .mdf file. The only ways (that I know of) to connect to a user instance are either through VWD (database explorer), through the sseutil command
line tool(microsoft download), or through any application invoking a user instance of a sql databse...
Second, asp.net 2.0 compiles on the fly, so the assemblies are found in the following directory:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\

Hello,
I have downloaded this sample application (a .vsi file), open the web site with VWD 2005 Express Edition, run and there were no errors ! It works but there are a few things I don't understand :
- How was the dababase TimeTracker installled and when ? I thought I had to execute sql statements for this part but it is not necessary. The connection string put in the web config file is very strange for me :
<
add name="aspnet_staterKits_TimeTracker" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|TimeTracker.mdf;User Instance=true" />and I can't connect to a database with another administration tool (SqlServer 2005 Express Edition Manager).
- I didn't find any bin directory. Where are the compiled assemblies nested for this web application ? There 's no reference to these assemblies it the solution ?
If somebody can give explanations about these points it would be helpful.
Thanks a lot.
