  *  (Optional ) Expression Blend: Tool For Silverlight 3 Development : http://www.microsoft.com/expression/try-it/ 
 

-Flight Delay Manager Configuration Requirements-

  *  The code project article provides a walkthrough on how to complete these configuration changes: 
  *  In projects MessageGeneratorService  / MessageProcessorSerivce / FlightUpdates.Web, change 
     configuration of �FlightUpdates� connection string to a SQL 2008 Azure DB. Execute FlightDelayManager.sql on that DB.
  *  In projects Message Generator and Message Processor, change cloud configuration to an Azure queue.  

-Flight Delay Manager Building -

  *  Solution should compile without error, if you have errors check:
  *  All required tools mentioned in the technology requirements are installed correctly. 
  *  For any compile issues with Bing Mapping / Twitter SDK / MS Enterprise Libraries, try re-referencing   
     the DLL�s from folder "External Libraries".
  *  Error �attempt to load an assembly from a network location ...assembly to be sandboxed.. CAS policy by default�
     This is a new Microsoft security "feature" you have enabled on your loacl PC. To fix, unblock the DLL on the
     local file system, see this article for more details http://blog.falafel.com/2009/12/18/WindowsBlockedFilesVisualStudio2010AndNET4.aspx .
