SQL Dependency
Hi!
Is there any way to use the sqldependency feature from ADO.NET with SQL Server Express editation ? I need this feature but I develop a shareware application and I can't buy Professional or higher SQL server for every downloaded copy.
Thanx.

I do not believe this is possible as SQL Server Express does not include SQL Server Service Broker. Can you tell us more what you are trying to do in your shareware application, and maybe we can provide ideas. Thanks, MJ
I have a similar issue. I want to use SqlDependency with Express. I have a sample app working against another SQL 2005 edition that works fine. But changing the connection string in the sample app to point to an Express edition causes it to stop working. I do have all required DB settings on (e.g., enabling of service broker and even CLR integration) in the Express database as well. I haven't been able to find an article on the Web that says that you cannot use SqlDependency against an Express edition database. Do you happen to know if this is possible? Thanks!
