OS X and VS 2008
Since four months ago I have been working with my new Aluminum MacBook and I have to say that i am very pleased with it. I installed VMware Fusion so I could work with Visual Studio 2008 and C# and so far I have no issues or complains at all.
I have a virtual machine with Windows Vista Ultimate, Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQLExpress 2005. And in this one is where more issues I had. If you are working with MS SQLExpress remember these three things:
1. Download SQL Server Management Studio Express from Microsoft, so you can do many changes to your server connection.
2. Remember to always every time you create a database to insert user and password
3. And as in my case I have an application that is going to reside in just one computer and not need for something else so the connection string is as simple as this:
string conexionString =
“Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;User = user; Password = passw;Initial Catalog=databasename;Integrated Security=True;”;
And if you still have a issue I recommend you Expert Exchange site, where you will find a lot of experts in many computer and technology related stuff.
