GREAT WAY TO IMPRESS CLIENTS (Too Good)...........
I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks ago.
While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the corner,
enjoying a drink. I was meeting a very important client who was also flying
to Seattle, but she was running a little bit late.
Well, being a straightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft
chairman, introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do
me a favor."
"Yes?"
"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, and I' m
waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives
as to come walk by and just say "Hi Tom?"
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat. About ten minutes
later, my client showed up. We ordered a drink and started to talk business.
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Bill Gates.
"Hi, Tom," he said.
I replied, "Shut up, Bill, I'm in a meeting."

I got the above error when passing data to a web service. On the web service, a field is defined as int?. But when I try to pass a null value, I get the above error because the value is showing up as NaN. So it sees NaN and throws this exception. As an alternative, I'm going to have to use a -1 instead, or convert the value to a string.I chose the conversion to a string as the option to use as I convert the values to a string to pass in serialized form, which turned out to be the best option. It really worked well for passing data to/from client and server.
I was trying to restore one database backup; which I successfully did (I'm using SQL Server 2005), and want to delete the users of the database which are restored along with the DB; I received this error which says "The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped".While I googled the error, I found that the user which i want to delete is called "Database Principal" is having "DB_Owner" Role selected. That means the Database Pricipal I want to delete owns the Schema. One solution was to delete the Schema and then delete the user, :-) which I am obviously not going to do. Another Solution was to change the DB_Owner to some another "Database Principal"; let say to "dbo". I did it accordingly and then I was able to delete the user/Database Pricipal successfully.To change the DB_Owner to some another "Database Principal"; simply Drill Down to your Database in Sql Server Management Studio and further more Drill Down to your_DB_Name > Schemas > db_owner > right click > select properties. You would find the name of the "Database Principal" that you want to delete. Change this to some another "Database Principal"; for Example, to "dbo". You need to make the same changes to all the schemas where the "Database Principal" is having/owning the role. For Example, if it is having "db_owner, db_datareader, db_datawriter" roles; then you have to make the above said changes for all these 3 schemas.You would find more details about this error and its solution at this page > Error Solution: Fix for 'The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped' Error in SQL Server 2005
