TimeTracker Stater Kit setup

Installing the TimeTracker starter kit required additional steps. Here are all the steps:

  • Download and execute time.vsi
  • In Visual Studio 2005, select FileNewWeb Site, then select the Time Tracker Starter Kit. (Use File System for Location)
  • On local SQL server, create a new database named TimeTracker.
  • Run the program C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regsql.exe.
    (Note: You want to run this first so that the next procedure will not generate errors)
  • Run the procedure timetracker-add.sql (found in the App_Data section in the project) on the database (be sure to select TimeTracker in the database list).
  • Change the web.config file in the application to point to the database. Note: There are two connection strings (aspnet_staterKits_TimeTracker and LocalSqlServer)
  • Create the three roles Consultant,ProjectManager,ProjectAdministrator. In Visual Studio, select from the top menu Website|ASP.NET Configuration. In Web Stie Admin Tool use Security|Create or Manage Roles
