Using the BlogEngine.NET SQL Server Provider Screencast

Posted by Al Nyveldt in BlogEngine.NET, Screencasts on Jan 04, 2008 | 9 responses

My second 1.3 screencast is a walk through of setting up the SQL Server provider from BlogEngine.NET. It starts where the Installation screencast leaves off and takes you through database setup and updating your web.config.

The SQL Provider setup changed a bit between versions 1.2 and 1.3 making the old screencast incorrect. I hope to be writing a more detailed post about SQL provider setup in the day ahead.

Anyway, this is a very short video but hopefully someone will find it somewhat helpful. It is available in both an in page Flash version and Windows Media format.

You might find this odd, but if you change the name of the connection string name from BlogEngine to something else, you will need to let the provider know.

BE is set to expect a connection string named BlogEngine as used in the default web.config and in the screencast. If you want to use a connection string name other than BlogEngine, you must add the connectionStringName property to the MSSQLProvider in the web.config.

I really looked at this as a more advanced option and didn't include it in the installation video.

Excellent for the ones that we want to initiate with this tool
But also I was interested in the Screencasts
How do you make the Screencasts especial hosting does need?
Or that control is utilized and in that you drive format

I used Camtasia Studio for making these screencasts. It is a great tool. I simply upload the files and it is ready for viewing on my host. Nothing special is required on the hosting side.
