• SQL Server Huge amount of memory (SQL25K.MS)

  I’m seeing that Management Studio is cosuming a huge amount of memory either development server or mine’s workstation. I mean, even when it’s on inactivity way. Wonder I, this behaviour is assumed as normal or not Thanks for that or provide me any link or information related. Also, clearly separate memory usage by SQL Server Engine (which is the subject of this forum) and Management Studio (which is a tool). There is also a dedicated forum for tools where questions like this may be answered faster: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=84&SiteID=1 Also note that SQL Server memory usage is not necessarily correctly displayed by Task Manager when AWE or locked pages on 64-bit are u ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is fixing runtime bugs expensive?

  I am a novice C# programmer. In the title “Learning C#,” the author states that it is much more expensive to fix a bug at runtime than at design time or compile time. I am wondering if it would indeed be as expensive as he says if the application goes through an SQA cycle before it is deployed. Whether you catch it at design or compile time, or rather at runtime, why would there be more or less cost involved Please shed some light on this. My point is that it is better to spend the time to be productive and innovative than fixing flaws from earlier. I see it from the view of the software maker, it is not a bad thing to create good software. I want to buy new versions of software because they offer mor ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading A Single Line Of An XML Document

  Hi, I am using VB 2005 to create a hangman game and have saved a word document containing a list of words as an XML Document. Would someone be able to help me with loading a single line of the XML file into a String in VB 2005, I have tried using Readers etc but haven't got very far. Or better still... is there an easier way to load a single line of text from a file (e.g. a text file) without loading the whole text up to that line into an Array, as I have a file with 100,000+ words, which would take ages to load into an array. Thanks in advance for your help. The best approach is to load the XML file into an XmlDocument. Once you do that, one can use XPath queries to extract the target node in Xml ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 - Cancel New Tab or New Window

  Hello, I'm attempting to cancel the opening of a new IE7 tab when a user right-clicks a link and chooses "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window". The following code from our BHO's Invoke method did the trick for IE6, but it doesn't for IE7. Should this still work for IE7, or should it be done differently for IE7 Thanks, Roy case DISPID_NEWWINDOW3: // This is a new (post-XPSP2) version of IE, which generates the NEWWINDOW3 event. { if (!ContinueNavigating(pDispParams->rgvarg[0].bstrVal, this)) { // Suppress the navigation. *(pDispParams->rgvarg[3].pboolVal) = VARIANT_TRUE; } } break; I am afraid that you are accessing the parameters with wrong indices.
