Readme_XmlSurvey

  • Artigo

The XmlSurvey sample application collects information for a store survey and updates the SQL Server AdventureWorks database with the results. Stores in the database represent resellers. The survey is stored as XML in the Demographics column of the Sales.Store table.

To keep the application simple, the record with a Customer ID of 1 is updated to contain the specified XML each time a survey is saved.

Note

CustomerID is the primary key in the Sales.Store table and a foreign key in the Sales.Customer table.

This sample is not supported on Windows 2000 and earlier operating systems.

The default installation directory is drive:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples\Engine\XML\XmlSurvey.

Scenario

A developer wants to create an application that updates store demographics information by sending an XML document to a Web service hosted by SQL Server.

Languages

Transact-SQL, XML, XSD, Visual C#, and Visual Basic.

Prerequisites

Before running this sample, make sure SQL Server 2005 is installed, including the following components:

  • SQL Server Database Engine
  • SQL Server Management Studio
  • The AdventureWorks database which is included with SQL Server 2005, and is also available at the SQL Server Developer Web site.
  • The SQL Server 2005 Database Engine samples. These samples are included with SQL Server 2005. You can download the latest version of the samples at the SQL Server Developer Web site.
  • .NET Framework SDK 2.0 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You can obtain .NET Framework SDK free of charge. For more information, see Installing the .NET Framework SDK.

Building the Sample

If you have not already created a strong name key file, generate the key file using the following instructions.

To generate a strong name key file

  1. Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then click SDK Command Prompt.

    -- or --

    Open a Microsoft .NET Framework command prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then click SDK Command Prompt.

    Note

    To determine the folder where samples are located, click the Start button, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, point to Documentation and Tutorials, and then click Samples Directory. If the default installation location was used, the samples are located in <system_drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples.

  3. At the command prompt, run the following command to generate the key file:

    sn -k SampleKey.snk

    Important

    For more information about the strong-name key pair, see "Security Briefs: Strong Names and Security in the .NET Framework" in the .NET Development Center on MSDN.
