I am a computer engineer since 2006 from NED and currently pursuing my masters from NU-Fast. I live in Karachi, Pakistan and my work revolves around Microsoft technologies. SQL Server and .NET are my main area of expertise. Despite developing rich internet applications using Silverlight, I love to work with SQL Business Intelligence platform. I use to write articles at CodeProject; my article listing can be viewed here. I love to play Soccer (real) and first-person shooter computer games.

I was following this article on securing web services. Thanks for your help. I am having an issue with my Silverlight app is prompting me for my login credentials the first time the service is being invoked. Subsequent invocations don’t ask. Any thoughts?

What service security configuration are you using in web.config? It would be better if you move your question to the related post so that your experience may be beneficial for other people reading that post. Also, did you look at the service security settings in web.config that I discussed here? Hope that helps you.

I liked your blog about CTE (included a reference to my blog) and I hope to visit your other blogs.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your comment, Naomi. SQL Server 2005 came with great TSQL enhancements: CTE, Ranking Functions, Pivoting and the ones I can recall.
