I've answered a few questions lately on setting up SqlDependency or ASP.NET SQL Server dependency with SQL Server 2005. Folks have gone by the instructions on the DataWorks Weblog posting and still receive the error "either schema dbo does not exist or you do not have permission to access it".

Still Alive and Well

With apologies to Johnny Winter. Long time, no postings. You might have guessed why I disappeared, but Dan and I just finished and handed in the sequel (pun intended) to the “First Look” book, entitled “A Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005”. How I spent my winter “vacation”… Whew. We’ve got everything updated to RTM, LOTS […]
