SQL Server 2008 - Can't Save Changes to Table

For those who tested the new SQL Server 2008, you probably got this message, when trying to change the columns in some tables, add columns or change nullity conditions. "Save is not permitted"... and something like tables have to be dropped and re-created. The only choice you have is to click cancel, or to choose to save the message to a text file, which is, i think, not very useful.

The solution i found today is in SQL Books Online, nd it is pretty easy:

Tools -> Options -> Designers, and uncheck the option "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation".

ASP.NET Tag Cloud

This looks to be just what I'm looking for for a project.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/cloud.aspx

Web sites such as del.icio.us, Technorati and Flickr, which allow tagging of their content, depict the popularity of tags using a tag cloud. The popular items have larger font sizes. This concept can be applied to any list of items where each item has an associated weight. For example, a list of products can be displayed in a cloud weighed by the cost of a product. Using the ASP.NET server control presented in this article, you can display your own domain specific items as a cloud. The image below shows a sample cloud for articles on Ajaxian. sample image
