Windows 8 – Run everything as Administrator

If you dont need Metro apps to work enter this into powershell:

Run PowerShell as Administrator and paste the following to disable UAC:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLUA" -Value "0"

shutdown -r -t 0

If you want metro apps to work: (this doesnt seem to work for me):

If you entered my registry change to disable UAC, re-enable it with the following command:

PowerShell as Administrator (This requires a restart)

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLUA" -Value "1"

#Default value is 1

shutdown -r -t 0

To enable automatic silent UAC elevation for administrators without breaking the Microsoft Store you should do the following instead.

PowerShell as Administrator (This takes effect immediately)

#The following is equal to the Security Policy “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” = “Elevate without prompting”

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" -Value "0"

#Default value is 2

#The following is equal to the Security Policy “User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure dekstop” = “Enabled”

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableUIADesktopToggle" -Value "1"

#Default value is 0

Namespacing in Javascript

Why bother with namespaces in javascript?
– You get cleaner and more clear code.

It is more clear what “object” or “task” the function and variables belongs to.
Avoids global function conflicts, my function named Calculate() might conflict with another function inside some js file that has been loaded before my js file.

This is one way of doing it, which I personally prefer:

// CompareProducts Namespace:
 CompareProducts = {};

//A new function in that namespace:
 CompareProducts.AddCompareEntry = function () {
 // CODE INSIDE OF FUNCTION
});

//A varible inside the namespace:
CompareProducts.myTestVar = "test test";

//A call to the namespaced function:
CompareProducts.AddCompareEntry();

//Get variable:
alert(CompareProducts.myTestVar);

Another way is this (enclose in sub braces)

var yourNamespace = {

    foo: function() {
    },

    bar: function() {
    }
};

...

yourNamespace.foo();

Visual Studio SQL Server Data Tools

Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools …

…provides an integrated environment for database developers to carry out all their database design work for any SQL Server platform (both on and off premise) within Visual Studio. Database developers can use the SQL Server Object Explorer in VS to easily create or edit database objects and data, or execute queries.

Developers will also appreciate the familiar VS tools we bring to database development, specifically; code navigation, IntelliSense, language support that parallels what is available for C# and VB, platform-specific validation, debugging and declarative editing in the TSQL Editor, as well as a visual Table Designer for both database projects and online database instances.
