During development, its quite common to find out that SQL Server has eaten up all your RAM and other processes also keep ballooning. I tried simplest workaround for that and it worked well. Just write a couple of batch files to stop the services. You add/remove services as per your liking. Here is an example file that I sometime use when I am working on Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio or have to run Virtual Machine (VM) or when I am not in the “coding mode”: File1: StopServicesToRunVM.bat net stop "SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)" net stop "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" net stop "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" net stop "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)" net stop "SQL Server Browser" net stop "SQL Server Integration Services 10.0" net stop "SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)" net stop "SQL Server VSS Writer" net stop "SharePoint 2010 Adm...

Microsoft has worked really well to produce quality content to explain its products to all sorts of users. As more and more organizations have already adopted previous versions of SharePoint, there is plenty for content already published related to SharePoint 2010 for those who are jumping in now.

Microsoft took first step way ahead when it launched ASP.NET 1.1 after “Classic ASP”. Then moved back by providing ASP.NET MVC flavor and now WebMatrix is another step forward to speed up the web development. It is a nice step to reduce costs of projects. I expect WebMatrix to have the most project templates as compared to templates for other flavors of ASP.NET. What is WebMatrix?* WebMatrix is everything you need to build Web sites using Windows. It includes IIS Express (a development Web server), ASP.NET (a Web framework), and SQL Server Compact (an embedded database). It streamlines Web site development and makes it easy to start Web sites from popular open-source apps. The skills and code you develop with WebMatrix transition seamlessly to Visual Studio and SQL Server. Who is it for?* WebMatrix is for developers, students, or just about anyone who just wants a small and simple way to build Web sites. Start coding, testing, and deploying your own Web sites without having ...
