This is a starter kit, which includes very simple user requirements, where we can create, read, update and delete (crud) the employee info of a company. The primary purpose of this starter kit is, to provide a solid guideline with respect to building enterprise level projects, by utilizing new asp.net 2.0 and sql server 2005 features, as well as latest best coding practices. The starter kit includes several cases where we can perform multi-table joining and/or write operations. Combining high performance and security features this starter kit shows how we can solve in real world problems and challenges, from a wide range of view point.

F# Sample Applications

The ADO.NET Entity Framework Extensions library includes utilities that make querying stored procedures, creating typed results from DB data readers and state tracking external data much easier in the Entity Framework. A sample application demonstrates several patterns using these utilities, including stored procedures with multiple result sets, materialization of CLR types, and registering entities in the Entity Framework state manager.

You can develop a Visual Studio Tools for the Office system 3.0 solution for the 2007 Microsoft Office System, and deploy the solution by using a Visual Studio 2008 Setup project to create a Windows Installer package. You must still use ClickOnce to secure your solution, but you can use the MSI to distribute your files to end user computers. The default publishing option in Visual Studio Tools for Office is ClickOnce. You can use ClickOnce to create and install self-updating applications with minimal user interaction. However, ClickOnce is not capable of deploying additional components such as Visio stencils or additional registry keys. Instead, you can use Windows Installer to deploy a Visual Studio Tools for Office customization. Windows Installer allows you to configure the deployment in great detail, but this does require more effort to configure correctly. You lose the simple ease of deploying using ClickOnce technology and advantages such as automated updates, but you receive benefits such as branding and configurability. You can also combine these two technologies by having your Windows Installer setup file call into the ClickOnce installation tool provided with Visual Studio Tools for Office. The code samples are written in Visual Basic and C#. The folowing list of projects and samples describes how you can integrate these into your solution to deploy with a Windows Installer file. Projects - you can add these custom actions to your setup project. 1. Component Check 2. ClickOnceCustomActions - install into the ClickOnce cache 3. DocumentManifestCustomActions - update the document custom properties to point to the assembly 4. InclusionListCustomActions - add an entry to pre-trust your solution Samples 1. Basic installer - Hello World add-in 2. Additional components - #1 + helper library 3. Inclusion list 4. Change Manifest 5. ClickOnce cache
