Thanks for your response. I actually had to go into the editor and then select the header but you helped me get there:) Thanks again. Darrall

I've started a blog site using WordPress. I have installed the plugin Google Analyticator. There is a snippet of code that has to be pasted on each page and the instructions are to paste it in before the last tag. Does anyone know where I can find the page with the HTML on it? Thanks Darrall

Thanks David.

Thanks Pete :)

In a VS 2010 application I've been instructed to set a breakpoint and do a Quick Watch. Can anyone tell me what a Quick Watch is and how you do it? Thanks Darrall

Thanks Al.

If you open a new MVC2 App in VS 2010 in the HomeController in the Details action method you get this:

// GET: /Home/Details/5

    public ActionResult Details(int id)
    {
        return View();
    }

Can anyone tell me what the /5 is for? Thanks Darrall

Thanks. See the reply above. That site specifically solved the problem. Your answer is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!! This is the answer I have been looking for for weeks :)

I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional and SQL Server Express installed. I am following the MSDN walkthrough for connecting to Data in a SQL Server Express Database (Windows Form). I have downloaded and installed the Northwind sample. I opened a new windows form project and then attempted to add a Service-based Database. An error message comes up: Failed to generate a user instance of Sql Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed. This message comes up everytime I make an effort to connect to SQL in any way. Can anyone help me? Thanks Darrall Also I have a 64 bit OS and that was a bit of a problem in installing the SQL

Thanks...that makes sense :)

Thanks :)

I have been studying C# for 6 months now. Perhaps I should have but I haven't yet run into the use of var for implicit variables and - in the following example - the subsequent replacing of parentheses with braces for enclosing the parameters.

var viewModel = new StoreIndexViewModel {
NumberOfGenres = genres.Count(),
Genres = genres};

I assume there is a particular reason for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Darrall

Yes...used 3 or 4 different ones :) The stupid thing is it says it's installed - it just isn't anywhere to be seen when you open it up. Figure something out I guess. Thanks for answering.

I have installed this from a dozen different locations and yet when I open up VS 2010 and click file, new, website there is lots of ASP.Nets there but no MVC or MVC2. Anyone know why? Thanks Darrall

Thanks Dave. This is the sole exception. I am using SQL Server Express 2008.

A fair enough observation except that it doesn't want the path to the database itself...it wants the path to the file that I created within the database and that path I can't find.

I have created tables in SQL Server Management Studio which I want to use in a program I have in VS 2010. When you check the properties of the tables in Management Studio there doesn't appear to be an actual path that you can use as a connection string. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks Darrall

Ok Great! Thanks for all your help :)

Thanks. Where do I write that code? I assume the information in quotes would be my information?
