• SQL Server Looking for suggestions Cluster or Mirror

  Hello, We currently have one instance of SQL2k5 SP1. We have a couple of publications, and 30 subscribers, on the instance and are considering going to either a cluster environment or db mirroring. Currently our instance seems to be busy and I am wondering if clustering really gives it a performance boost. What are your thoughts/suggestions on going to a cluster environment versus just db mirroring Can mirroring be used for real-time failover as we need to add that as well Thanks in advance. John Fail-over clustering and database mirroring are both high availability solutions that don't have any direct effect on performance. Fail-over clustering relies on shared external storage between the node ...Show All

• Visual C# very strange System.Net.Sockets.SocketException

  What can be a possible cause When my program running on a notebook connects the server, it gets the System.Net.Sockets.SocketException. I try to ping the server by the domain name from the notebook. It's OK. So not related to domain name resolution or network stability problem. I try to telnet to the server from the notebook directly and issue some commands. It's OK also. So not related to any firewall. It just happens in a few notebooks in the same network.... what can be the possible cause The following is the code. if(ConnectSocketThread==null || !ConnectSocketThread.IsAlive) { ConnectSocketThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(this.ConnectSocketThreadFunction) ); ConnectSocketThread.Name = "ConnectSoc ...Show All

• SQL Server RDLC Client Report and query parameters and print button

After I have my report ready I will share here the total experience from top to bottom!But for now, here's the issue: I'm building a RDLC Repor on my ASP.Net VB web application. I added the .rdlc file to the application and created a table to show lines of data binded from a dataset. The thing is: - The DataSet expects a parameter @intNumber, a identifier to get the correct data to display the correct report. - I'm using ReportViewer to view the report, and by code I've passed a Report Parameter to the *.RDLC report with success, just like this: Dim parms(0) As ReportParameter parms(0) = New ReportParameter("intNumber", ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Build speed with many projects

  I've been working on my first large XNA project and am finding that building my projects takes forever. I have both my Windows and 360 projects in the same solution, and there are 5-6 projects each. Normal setups like this in Visual Studio are a incredibly quick to build on average, but with GSE I notice that it seems to be invoking MSBuild for every project regardless of the solution configuration or dirty state. For example, if I have platform set to x86, my build output window still scrolls the 360 projects, each one taking 1-2 seconds to find out it's not set to build. Worse yet, it does this for every project, every time I build, even if I just made a one line change in an assembly with no dependencies; builds take 25-30 seconds! M ...Show All
