Okay straight from the book. There is no doubt on this question as far as that goes. On page 631 when I do the instructions on that page doing step #9 on that page by double clicking the PlanetWrox.mdf file in Visual Studio, Visual Studio then does a double take or hiccup and jumps immediately into SQL Server Object explorer window. Is that what it is supposed to do? It doesn't mention anything on step 9 of the book about jumping into the SQL Server Object explorer window. Or did I just misread what is in the book?
Thanks once again for your attention regarding this matter.

Does it not? It says:
Combined with this from page 457:

I think you're seeing exactly what's described in the book, but you're using a commercial version of VS instead of Express. I can't see how this could cause confusion though. Does the Server Explorer not show a Tables node so you can expand the Tables node, right-click the Roles table, choose
Show Table Data and see the role that was created?

Yes you are correct. How did you know that I was using a commercial version of Visual Studio? Very astute on your part. Kudos. There are some differences that I have noticed, from some of the screen shots and differences in behavior in your books and other books from what I am noticing with the commercial version of Visual Studio 2012 that can cause some confusion.

Because of this
It's called the Database Explorer in Express (which is the term I use consistently) and Server Explorer in the commercial version (which I refer to every now and then as a reminder of the differences).

Can you point out concrete cases? I have gone through the entire book using Express and the Commercial versions, Where there are differences (such as with the name of the Database Explorer window), I have pointed out what's different.

Not right now. I have other more pressing issues that are taking up way too much of my time right now. But I know in the past that I have seen discrepancies with yours and other books. I just can't think of what they are right now off the top of my head. If I see any errata on any of this in the future I will be more than happy to let you know about it.

hiiii, i read this book and Beginning ASP.NET 4.5: in C# and VB. It contain all information about ASP.net. It is helpful for us....

That points out a question that I kind of wanted to ask. Are all of the screen shots in the book done with Visual Studio express? If so, is there any possibility that there could be some discrepancies between that and the commercial versions of Visual Studio 2012? Also I would kind of like to know when the next version of the advanced version of this book is going to come out and get published? Has there been an official release date set yet? The reason I ask is because I keep hearing different things from different posters and people. I believe that I read a poster on, I think it was Amazon, that said it was going to be official released on May 21st. Just asking that is all. Oh btw, the local college where I am currently taking my iPhone Objective C class is said to be looking around for a new text book for their .NET dynamic web page development class. I will try to recommend this book to the instructors and lab assistants at the school.

Yes.

Yes. Isn't that obvious from my earlier replies about pointing out the differences?

I don't know. It's not my book and I don't work for the publisher. Try asking in another category such as the Feedback forum. Also, try checking the book list on www.wrox.com.

Thanks!

Imar

Hi: I am following this lead located at:http://forums.asp.net/t/1693277.aspx/1.
I also get this error that says DBProviderFactories' section can only appear once per config file. This too is related to the SQL error. However I am using MVW 2010 and SEL server 2008 that was installed with MVW 2010.

The About.aspx reference was made to the On-Tick event in the book. I was trying to determine where the code was located.

Regarding issue 1: could is also be related to how you browse to your site? DO you have multiple web.configs? Are you running on IIS or do you use the Visual Studio web server? Again: more detail would help.

Regarding issue 2: same thing: please provide more detail. Which code are you referring to? What do you mean with "I was trying to determine where the code was located."? In the download code that comes with the book? Are the location where you should add this code? Why don't you post the code for the page you're working on?
