Hosting of Code Samples

The other day when I posted about the sample how to call a WCF Service from a SQLCLR method, I mentioned that I had no place to host my demo-code. I did not want to create a project on CodePlex (like I did with the SQLCLRProject), as demo code is not really projects per se.

I discussed this with David Reed from Microsoft who is a PM on the SQL Server team, and has a lot to do with overseeing the SQL projects on Code Plex. He mentioned MSDN’s Code Gallery, which is a place where you can create resource pages and upload code for download. So, earlier today I created a new resource page on the Code Gallery, and uploaded the SQLCLR to WCF sample to there. My intention is to upload other SQL Server related samples as well as How-To articles to there.
