HI, I downlaoded the presentation from Ron’s website and seen the presentation. Was this meeting recorded? If yes, can you please provide the url.
I also downlaoded the source code but not able to run the application.
It seems that RON used a modified version of the Adventureworks database, called AdventureworksLT, I am wondering if he provided a copy of the AdventureworksLT database with the code somewhere. Also, I understood from code that he used some LINQ functionalities.
Thanks in advance
Hi Salam, unfortunately the meeting wasn’t recorded. AdventureworksLT is a new sample database, you can get it from codeplex here, go to releases and choose the SQL Server version you’re using, 2005 or 2008:
