I've found yet another blog and post(sheesh) regarding Query Notifications.  It's a survey asking some general questions.  If you have some complaints or comments head over there and let MS know what you want to see.  I'm still formulating my customer solution.

Observation:  Microsoft has a habit of assuming their solution should be satisfactory and doesn't really give an example of what to do if it isn't.  The user is left to try to piece together a solution that actually works in the real world.  So many of MS's examples assume that you are a drag-and-dropping cheeseball that uses SELECT * for queries and the SQLDataAdapterConnectorInterpreterManagerGateway for all things data. 

What about us folks who actually want to write code.  If I see one more MSDN artcile trumpeting the fact that you don't need to write one line of code, I'm going to puke.  Yeah instead of using a first class IDE supported language to write code I want to put some mish mash of bastardized markup into my ASP.NET page.  That's a great solution.  Try debugging that pile of angle brackets when something doesn't work.  Code is good.  I like writing code.  The IDE supports writing code. 

MS for god's sake let me write code!
