Some months ago, ScottGu announced the availability of source code for the ASP.NET providers. This was great news and a great many comments followed. In preparation for a talk I’m giving this week at DevConnections, I went out to grab the source again to be able to show it off during my talk. But no matter where I told it to install, nothing was installed. By default it wanted to go to

C:Program FilesMicrosoftASP.NET Provider Toolkit SQL Samples

However, nothing showed up there. Nothing in the Start menu. Nothing. So I tried some other paths, but they also failed to work. Finally, I trolled through the comments and found one that explained the actual location:

ResourcePool.cs
