Hi Folks, This is a continuation of my last Blog post. Enjoy. Before You Start you must have, - Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 installed - MS SQL Server 2005/2008 installed Step 1: Create an SQL Server Project in Visual Studio Step 2 : Add a user defined Function Step 3 : Add the code in my previous blog which Encrypts a string to the user defined function Step 4 : Add Database reference to the Database which you want to deploy the function Step 5 : Right Click on the Project and Click Deploy once deployed you can see the Project has been deployed on your database under. [Database Name]->Programmability->Assemblies Step 6 : Use the Functions in SQL Server Once the Project is deployed you can see the two functions in [Database Name]->Programmability->Functions->Scalar-valued Functions Then they can be used in SQL Server as regular functions.
