		<description><![CDATA[Since I installed SQL Server 2008, I was getting an annoying error while saving changes to a given table: &#8220;Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can&#8217;t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Troubleshooting the database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation error on SQL Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently we have started to implement our own Content Management System codename  DeepThought and when testing the creation of articles and menus we realized that we cannot use the default database collation of SQL Server. The reason is that in future we might have clients that require the use of Cyrillic characters.  Therefore the collation that should be used for these cases is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS.

But when trying to change the collation I came across the following error: The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.]]></description>

		<title>Implementing Strategy Pattern in C#</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a software developer, my primary goal is making my code correct, elegant, extensible and efficient. Although simplistic, every programming decision I make is largely based on maintainability. Back at my studies (Computer Sciences in SEE-University) I had the chance to read C# 3.0 Design Patterns by Judith Bishop, a great book which covers the full set of 23 patterns that were originally proposed in Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides’s Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software in 1994.  By reading this book, I’ve acquired skills in: programming design patterns, basic UML modeling notation, ability to select appropriate patterns for given scenarios and advanced language features of C# 3.0. I highly recommend this book.]]></description>

		<title>The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One quiet morning, while going through the motions of my daily routine - drinking coffee with my fellow programmers, I got a call from a client who said: I just checked our vacancies page and it sucks, we don't have an online form where users would submit their information but instead they have to fill the form locally and then send it to us by mail or fax. We have to improve this fast. I need this for tomorrow!]]></description>
