CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'

1.  shut down SQL Server from services

2.  open cmd window (as admin) and run single-user mode as local admin with this command:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe" -m -s SQLEXPRESS

3.  open another cmd window (as admin)

4.  open sqlcmd:
sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS
Now add the sysadmin user:
a.  sp_addsrvrolemember 'domain\user', 'sysadmin'
b.  GO

5.  now Ctrl+C the single-user mode from the first cmd window to kill SQL Server.  Now restart it from services the normal way.  Log into Management Studio and the user you created should be listed under logins with the credential of "sysadmin."

Gerando números aleatórios

Ao criar dois objetos Randon, no mesmo milisegundo, ocorrerá um problema. Todos os números gerados por ambos os objetos serão iguais.
A solução para isso é utilizar o método Sleep para dar um tempo de 3 milisegundos entre a criação de cada uma das instâncias dos objetos Randon, ou utilizar o mesmo objeto para gerar o outro número.

Random r1 = new Random();
Random r2 = new Random();
int a1 = r1.Next();
int a2 = r2.Next();

As variáveis a1 e a2 terão o mesmo valor.

Random r1 = new Random();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3);
Random r2 = new Random();
int a1 = r1.Next();
int a2 = r2.Next();

As variáveis a1 e a2 terão valores diferentes.

Random r1 = new Random();

int a1 = r1.Next();

int a2 = r1.Next();

As variáveis a1 e a2 terão valores diferentes.
