OutlookBar on RH sidebar of WynApse.com has Reference links

It's been a while since I mentioned this, but on the Right-hand sidebar of WynApse.com is an 'Outlook Bar' of headings such as 'Code Reference', 'Cheat Sheets', 'WP7', etc.

If you click one of the headings, it opens up a list of web links to reference material I've squirreled away.

I recently filled out the WP7 and Lightswitch sections with some links. For instance here is what is in the WP7 section right now:

Feel free to use that bar as a resource, there's lots of good stuff in there, and if you find a broken link let me know.

As you're using it, remember it is a Silverlight 1.0 island of code on the Master Page :)

Link to: SQL Server 2008 – Change Edit Top 200 Rows and Select Top 1000 Rows to Select/Edit All

I can't pass up passing this along even though it's not Silverlight or WP7 or Lightswitch or ...

One thing I've been dealing with is the 'Edit top 200' rows thing in SQL Server 2008, and have just been dealing with it for a few weeks since I uninstalled everything else in favor of this full-up.

Well, Senthil Kumar has instructions on how to modify that sucker... I didn't even *think* to look around... figured it was baked in... awesome post, Senthil!

Take a quick look, you won't forget it later, and trust me, it will save you some time :)
