Rating: - Errors and omissions
The discussion on how to use the new SqlCacheDependency class is wrong.

In reality, you need to setup several permissions in the database side. In addition, you have to make sure that the compatibility level of your database is set to 90.
The source code example in page 622 will not work. The reason is that the SqlCacheDependency object was created after ... Read More
