XBoxGames Databases for SQL Server 2005 and 2008
As many of you who've been following know, I use a simple database of XBox game data as my example database. I usually remember to include it on the server project but in some examples its been forgotten. In other cases I've shipped with a 2008 version of the database instead of the 2005 version. To address this, I've uploaded .zip'd versions of both the 2005 and 2008 databases for anyone to use for any reason. This includes my RIA Services sample (which is using a SQL Server 2008 version) or my MVVM MSDN article sample which also uses a 2008 version. They include a MDF and a LDF. If you have trouble attaching them to an existing database, try deleting the LDF file. Go grab there here:

I am having trouble attaching the mdf files to my 64bit SQL2008 instance. Do you have any SQL scripts to load the databases?
great database. very useful for the new developers to give them something a little more interesting than the basic northwind, pubs or adventureworks databases. my question is, where did you get the original data?
Jeremy,
I also had to modify web.config to put in the name of the SQL Server Express instance, and change the reference of the WrapPanel in GameListView.xaml and its project from Microsoft.Windows.Controls to System.Windows.Controls.Toolkit. After these changes the solution ran perfectly!
Thank you for posting the 2005 database and the really fast turn around time.
