I am currently using Tridion 5.3.After pages are published from Tridion CM side to Broker db.
How should be IIS configured to point to the pages in DB like we do for file system.
You probably want to start with this topic from the documentation (login required):
http://sdllivecontent.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL_Tridion_2011_SPONE/concept_72627979491D47A78F1735CB76DF7AA4
The documentation is for Tridion 2011 SP1, but the same high-level concepts apply for Tridion 5.3. But if you can, definitely consider looking up the corresponding topic in the PDFs that came with your Tridion installation.

We have a standalone .net application, this application is nothing to do with Tridion implementation. But due to some strange suggestion from client we need to store some content (html fragment) in Tridion and publish it to broker, once this content is available in broker database we want to fetch it and show in .net application. Basically this content will a small block under right column e.g. like Login block (with user name password text box and some captions)
Is there any way to do it, also do we need to put storage config in .net applications config directory?
We are using Tridion 2011 SP1
The easiest way is to spin up the Tridion Content Delivery Web Service, which is based on OData, point it to your Tridion Database, and then grab the content from there from your other website.
I've written this article some time ago about how to get the web service up and running, it is focused on Java, but the steps are pretty similar for .NET. There is a prepackaged .NET web service you can just deploy on IIS, which then only needs the configuration part (cd_storage_conf.xml).
BTW - There is a Tridion-specific StackExchange site: http://tridion.stackexchange.com
I am new to Tridion , so finding it difficult to get the starting point on how to connect to tridion server through Thrid party application using Core Service.
Can any one share some code of .NET application which sends request to tridion for creating component in tridion server.
There are tons of good blog posts and sample applications out there. A single search gives me these results:
Robert Curlette documented his first console app that uses the Core Service
GetListUsingItems with Tridion Core Service returns more items than TOM
Get Core Service Client without config file
SDL Tridion 2011 Component Publisher
Importing Content using the Core Service in SDL Tridion 2011

And of course the official documentation (requires login):

I'm working on a project where we will be interacting with the ReportService2010 reporting web service under SQL Server 2008 R2. In the past, I've worked with the ReportService2005.asmx, and my problem here is, I can't find any reasonable examples on how to render a report with this new (2010) reporting web service.
When using the 2005 web service, there was a "Render" method that was provided when creating your proxy with the wsdl.exe utility. Is there an equivalent method (or set of methods), to accomplish the same thing using the ReportService2010 service? Or are there any decent examples of an end-to-end intialization and calling of the new proxy?
Even MSDN doesn't have much information, and in certain parts of the ReportService2010 API docs, there are old snippets of code that were only applicable to the 2005 web service.
UPDATE: A better question might be how have things changed between SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2008 R2 with regard to calling the report service(s) programmatically...I can see that even under SSRS 2008 R2, there still exists a ReportService2005.asmx, as well as a ReportExecution2005.asmx, but there is not a corresponding ReportExecution2010.asmx.
sigh
SOLUTION UPDATE:
After talking to someone at my company, I was informed of the following:
The 2006 web service was introduced to support sharepoint integration in 2008.
The ReportService2010 web service was introduced to merge all the functionality introduced by 2006 with the 2005 web service.
ReportService2005 web service will continue to be used for report execution. I don't know why, but something tells me it has to do with business decisions for backwards compatibility. My coworker said we are intended to continue to use ReportExecution2005 for rendering, and ReportService2010 for all other functionality (querying the SSRS server for reports, params, etc).
Unfortunately all the above information was culled from a variety of links, none of which concisely stated all of the above. It's the kind of thing that you would normally assume a vendor to explain to client developers.
SQL Report Server provides 3 different endpoints.
ReportService2010: Provides the APIs for managing a report server that is configured for either native or SharePoint integrated mode.
ReportExecution2005: Provides the APIs for running and navigating reports.
ReportServiceAuthentication: Provides the APIs for authenticating users against a report server when the SharePoint Web application is configured for Forms Authentication.
Thus, in order to render the report you must use this one ReportExecution2005.
Here it says what I have pasted above: http://www.blograndom.com/blog/2011/03/reportservice2010-asmx-is-not-the-only-end-point/
Here you can find an example (it has some errors though) to get started

Good luck!!
I need to develop a dynamic web page retrieve data from a stored procedure on a SQL Server.
Considering the licensing issue, development resources, security and maintainability, can someone suggest a suitable platform for this project?
I have a Ubuntu server running Drupal and also a Windows Server 2003 running SQL Server 2000 and IIS for FTP server only.
Is ASP.NET and Reporting Service the natural choice? What are my other options? Ruby On Rails? Since the SQL Server on the server is mission critical and I don't feel very comfortable asking anymore from it.
SSRS is very good for the price; though in SQL 2000 its a bit limited - especially for charting. If you have a small budget you could write nice looking reports using stored procedures and something like telerik reporting if you want to do a bit more of the work on the web server. There is a trial version you could use for a quick prototype to see how it fits in; but it works very nicely with asp.net development and is nicely integrated with Visual Studio.
I'm installing Microsoft Search Server 2008 express with a view to indexing some content for an intranet application.
Having not used Search Server before, i am looking at ways of my asp.net app (.net 3.5) querying the search server.
I'm just starting to look into Search Community Toolkit to see if it is relevant to what i want to achieve. But was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction (code, articles, etc).
Many Thanks.
Microsoft provides developer APIs. The assemblies are part of the Search Server 2008 SDK.

After a few google searches, came across this website which fits the bill pretty well.
http://labs.episerver.com/en/Blogs/Ted-Nyberg/Dates/2009/1/Using-EPiServer-and-Microsoft-Search-Server-2008/
Describes using the Search Server web service, which is quite a clean way to do it.
