| A Database Engine (Microsoft SQL Server 2000) with a SQL Server 2000 DBMS with the Biblio sample database installed. Yes, you can use MSDE version 2000. |
Because the examples are written in C#, you must have a version of Visual Studio .NET installed to test them. Microsoft has indicated that it will offer "free" versions of the .NET Framework and possibly Visual Studio on an evaluation basis which means the .NET Framework software only works for a limited length of time.
In order to test and evaluate the TSQL debugging feature, you must install the "Enterprise Architect" version of Visual Studio .NET--unless Microsoft changes its mind about this limitation.
To compile and test the examples, you need to install:
| Visual Studio .NET (7.0) The Enterprise Architect version is only needed if you want to test/use TSQL Stored Procedure Debugging. Otherwise the Professional Edition should run all of the .NET examples on this CD. Where do I find Visual Studio .NET? http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/ | |
| Odbc .NET Data Provider
(optional) A few of the examples use the Microsoft.Data.Odbc .NET Data Provider. This is not included in the framework so you'll have to download it from www.msdn.microsoft.com/downloads or wherever Microsoft is hiding it. |
