Hello Imar! First off, i think this is pretty cool that i can reach out to you and have a remote possibility of getting assistance from you, or getting help from someone else.
the trouble i am having isnt exactly with the steps themselves, but with VWD itself. On page 427 of the asp.net 4 c# and
VB, I am stuck at steps 1 thru 3.
In step 1 you, you mention that when you click on the database diagrams element and click on "Add new diagram", I may be prompted with a dialog box saying that the database doesnt have a valid dbo user or you do not have permissions to impersonate the dbo user, so database diagramming is not available. do you want to make yourself the dbo of this database <etc>?
i click yes and then get another message
This server does not have one or more of the database objects required to use database diagramming. do you wish to create them?
i click yes again
then i get a third message, one not told about in your book. it states "could not obtain information about Windows NT grou/user 'domain/username', error code 0x54b. i click ok and nothing happens.
now, here's where it gets interesting.
I am using my company laptop to do this coursework through my college. it is registered on the company domain. And i also have VPN access to my company.
When i enable the VPN, i do not get any of the above prompts when i go to Add new diagram. instead i get a blank white page. but if i go up to the menu option "database diagram" to add new diagram, everything in the menu is grayed out.
i found some sites that said if you run a SQL script that alters the authorization
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[<Database>] TO [sa];
but that doesnt work. i get a parser error.
I am not sure what else to do...
if it helps, here is a link to what i have created so far. its a link that goes to a 7z file of the planet wrox website.
