• SQL Server How to use TSQL to monitor replication status

  To monitor the status of replication in SQL 2000 we insert the resuts of sp_MShelp_replication_status into a temp table and review the status. In SQL 2005 this stored procedure has changed and now does it's own insert into execute command. Since insert execute commands can not be nested we must find another way to programically monitor replication using TSQL. We could call s ys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper but we can't seem to find it in the distribution database. It must be hidden somehow. Any ideas Thanks, Danny >> We could call sys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper but we can't seem to find it in the distribution database. What do you mean Do you mean you can call this stored proc but can't find it in manage ...Show All

• .NET Development 1000+ threads in windows service (c# .net remoting)

  I have a problem: My server application is running as windows service on win2k3 box. Clients uses .Net remoting to the server. Server also uses COM RCWs, which internally makes call on the SQL server to fetch data. Also the server is heavily loaded. Many clients contact the server simultaneously. In the server, I am using my own thread controlling mechanism (basically a dll) which doesn't allow server to create more than 10 threads. So this mechanism makes sure that at a time the server can not have more than 10 threads created by it. Now the problem is: the server consumes lot of threads, sometimes it reaches 1000-1500 threads. But still it works, and serves the client. Sometimes it doesn't serve and hangs though. I am sure that my code d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to override COM registration for Team Build?

  Hi, My project settings for a COM project has the setting 'Register Output' set to true. This causes problem when this project is built by the team build system since the user used by this service does not have sufficient rights required for that. Is there a way in the team build system to override this setting so that this component does not get registered when built by the team build Thanks, Ramesh 'Register Output' property shows up as an XML attribute in the vcproj file. <Tool Name="VCLinkerTool" RegisterOutput="true" So, additing such a condition will not be possible. Team Build uses VCBuild task and provides a property sheet (vsprops) file with overrides ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word's Action Pane: Context Menu doesn't work properly (doesn't go away)

  I noticed that Context Menus in Action Pane work differently than Context Menus inside Form. If you bring a Context Menu in Form and then click away context menu will go away. But in Action Pane if you bring a Context Menu and then click away Context Menu will stay. Is it known behavior of action pane Is there any work around that The simplest way to see that is create User Control with Context menu and then add this control to Action Pane and to Form. Now you can see the difference between two Context menus.   I don't have an answer for you, but the question has come up before and here was the response: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=717592&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• SQL Server Can i host a SQL2005 EE DB on SQL2000 engine ?

  Hi, I'd like to host a small website created using VS2005 EE with a company that offers just SQL2000 DB support. My question, can i use the DB created by VS site manager as a DB to the site, if not, is there any alternatives. Thanks. Hi Andrea, Yeah you are right on that. The formats for SQL Server 2005 Database are different from that of SQL Server 2000 database and sp_dbcmptlevel does not downgrade to that format. I mixed this up with the other-way-round scenario that you can use a SQL Server 2000 database as-is (i.e. locked up with formats and features restricted to SQL Server 2000) by setting the sp_dbcmptlevel to 80 on a SQL Server 2005 Engine but not the other way round.
