Samsung Bada - another OS to keep developers busy

Reading through some reviews and articles of the Mobile World Congress 2010 and seeing Samsung's new Wave phone using their new platform Bada, reminded me of this post about MeeGo, that I made a while ago. The fact is that it is yet another system to develop on and then support, or if the angle of the phone companies is to have a selling point for their phones, whether the average consumer on the street even cares about what operating system their phone uses, unless buying in to a brand like Apple, Google or Microsoft.

EF CodeFirst Database.SetInitializser Requires Connection to 'master' Database Error

One of the features of EF CodeFirst is the ability to automatically drop and recreate a database if the model changes or if the database does not exist, which is pretty useful when just doing development work. In a web app this is done in the Global.asax file within "protected void Application_Start()" as per this post from Scott Guthrie -  http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/16/code-first-development-with-entity-framework-4.aspx . An example would be: protected void Application_Start() { Database.SetInitializer<yourdbcontex>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<yourdbcontext>()); AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } However when using the Database.SetInitializer and trying to rebuild the database, the following exception may be encountered, especially if using SQL Server Express: "This operation requires a connection to the 'master'...

Tech spec stuff: Microsoft Windows 7 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express, Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Microsfot .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 SP1 Getting started with xUnit xUnit is a "developer testing framework, built to support Test Driven Development (TDD)". There are other unit testing frameworks available (MSTest, nUnit, etc.).

Download and Install xUnit The xUnit project can be found at:  http://xunit.codeplex.com/ . Downloads are available from  http://xunit.codeplex.com/releases/view/62840 .

BlogEngine.NET Security Error After Publishing to IIS7 Web Server

After publishing the initial default set-up of BlogEngine.NET ( http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/ ) to an IIS 7 web server (i.e. not running under debug mode from Visual Studio), the following security exception may appear, stating : System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. BlogEngine.NET Security Exception To get BlogEngine.NET running, the "User Profile" of the application pool that the application runs under in IIS needs to be updated. IIS 7 Application Pools The "Load User Profile", accessed through advanced settings of the application pool, needs to be set to true.  Application Pool Advanced Settings - Load User Profile That should be it to get a proper response from BlogEngine.NET on the server. Of course don't forget to add write permissions for the app_data folder. Thanks to  David Burke ...
