• SQL Server Performance issue on a singel large insert

  Hi, I'm testing Mirroing. 1) I have dedicated NIC for Mirroring - 100Mb There is no issue with the network (file of 25MB goes in 2.5 seconds) 2) I'm issuing the next simple command Select * into dbo.Table2 from dbo.Table1 3) the size of the table is 25MB in async mode it takes 3-4 sec (as if it runs only local) in sync mode it takes 25-29 sec !!!! WHY IS THIS NORMAL is there any configuration i can change That still seems long though, 30 secs for 25MB table We had our mirrored database in sync mode while we did the credit card encryption It was LONG (since everything has to get flushed to the mirror, and CC # are everywhere), but the network speed is high ...Show All

• .NET Development Book here says MSIL does not get fully compiled to native?

  One of the earliest books in C# was "C#: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt. His book suggests in the beginning that the MSIL code gets compiled to native "as needed," so it basically suggests it does the same thing as Java. Later, I remember reading that Microsoft was insisting that all of the MSIL code gets compiled to native, which would also mean there's no runtime processing of the garbage collection etc. The reason why I doubt Microsoft in this case is because the front of the cover of this book has a quote from Prashant Sridharan, the the C# Product Manager from Microsoft, saying that this is a must-have resource for C# programmers. Doesn't this mean he would have reviewed the book first Why was he okay before with the bo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions text box to end of URL and open in new window

  I have a text box that I would like to have the user enter a stock symbol, click a botton and get the stock quote. I think the best way to do this to have what they typed pasted at the end of http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/stock_quote Symbol = then open in a new window. It would be better if I could getthe quote displayed on in the program, but I'm sure that's far to complicated for me. I'm just starting here, (obviously), so any help would be appreciated greatly. perfect thanks everyone, Work when I click the button. I would also like it to work when I hit enter in the text box, but I think I can figure that out. Thanks again ...Show All

• Windows Forms Night Vision

  I am working on a military application that needs to support a "night vision" mode - that is, make the application appear in a green scale color pallet to make it easier on the eyes in reduced lighting. Now, I know I can take an approach that will "skin" or "theme" my application to make it appear green (our GUI COTS product Infragistics NetAdvantage makes this possible), but it still isn't a 100% solution because we would need to re-do all of our images/icons that we use in the app to a green scale version, and then code the functionality to change the images at runtime when needed. Further, because we display maps and map information, there isn't an easy way to change all of the maps into a green scale. Havi ...Show All

• SQL Server Can SSIS save the context of errors at the package level?

  Lately, I have been experimenting with SSIS and I created a generic custom error logging component that saves all offending data on data flow component failure. However... Instead of re-directing rows at the data flow level and handling/logging the data at that level, is it possible to catch all of this information at the package level and handle/process it there If so how would you do this Thanks!

• SQL Server Error while previewing the report in Visual Studio 2005

  Hi there, The Visual Studio 2005 asks me to send an error report each time when I try to preview the reports. The reports are created in report server project in Visual Studio 2005. Does anyone know why this is a problem Thanks As a first step I would recommend to install SQL Server 2005 SP1 ( http://www.microsoft.com/sql/sp1.mspx ). If you still encounter problems, you may want to try to directly publish the report to a report server and see if there are any publishing warnings or errors. Also posting the RDL file on this forum may help in further diagnosis. -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual J# vjc throwing an exception

  I do not have this problem when compiling from VS 2005. This started after I uninstalled the J# redist and then reinstalled it using the MSBuild created bootstrapper program (testing it). When I build using nant which calls devenv to build the solution I get the popup asking me what program I want to use to debug vjc because it hit a problem. Even weirder, the compile continues - it does not return an error. But the rest of the projects are not compiled. What is going on and how do I fix it thanks - dave Ok, now I tried running from nant and got the popup once asking if I wanted to debug the exception in vjc - I said no. It then said the build was successful (which matches VS 2005 in that the exception in the compile d ...Show All
