• Visual Studio Express Editions Memory Adress of Registry Hives

  Hi Is it possible to know where is the registry loaded into RAM I need to have read only access to the registry. I want to use the In-memory pages of regsitry for that purpose Can perfmon help in any way for this Any point of thought will be of great use. Thanks Sumit The registry is not loaded in RAM, it is stored on disk. The disk cache will keep the most recently accessed registry sectors in RAM but that is not accessible to a user mode program. Nor could you find out what portions are being cached. Or how disk sectors map to hives and keys. You have use the API, there are no shortcuts. ...Show All

• .NET Development Delay in invoking webservice call

  hi, We are noticing the huge delay once we invoke the asynchronous call to web service to get the response back, not able to find the reason for the same so far. Is there way we can debug and find the root cause of this delay in invoking web service and getting the response from web service Thank You Ganga Gangy wrote: What we did is we put trace log at the last line of code in Webservice where data is sent to UI process as "Exit" and first line in UI as "Entry" and we see time difference of 40 seconds waiting for webservice to return to UI process and this is consistent.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 x64: Intermittent "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10."

  Hi, We are experiencing intermittent authentication errors "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10" on a customer's production server. This is a new server that has just been rolled out in the past several months. Rebooting the server appears to make the problem go away.

• Visual Studio Team System Will two versions of .NET interfere with builds..

  I'm just looking for some assurance. On our TFS box we have team projects built with .NET 2.0 and we're adding some projects which will be using .NET 3.0 - will there be an issue using TeamBuild Is there a chance of any part of the .NET 3.0 framework interfering the code using .NET 2.0 - even though they're seperate team projects The .NET 3.0 framework has not been installed on the server itself, only on local clients/workspaces. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. David is correct. Unfortunately, the version number for the framework is different now than the version of the runtime (CLR). The CLR remains at 2.0. The .NET framework 2.0 shipped with VS 2005, .NET fram ...Show All

• SQL Server execution of stored procedure has become extremely slow!!

  Hello, i am not sure if i am posting this problem in the right forum. please forgive my ignorance, if indeed i am doing so. i am having a bizarre problem with the execution of a stored procedure on SQL server. up to now, the execution time was taking maximum ten minutes and then suddenly since a few days ago, it takes more than 40 minutes, no exceptions!! i have tried to diagnose this problem with some tools that are provided out there such as executing a stored procedure called "proc track_waitstats" from which i learned that the “max degree of parallelism”. needed to be set (i set it to 3, it used to be zero. there are 4 processors). after rerunning the diagnosis, my SQL server seemed very happy with wait times. zero for almost everythin ...Show All

• .NET Development How to write dllhost.exe.config during deployment

  I'm in the process of creating the deployment for a number of ServicedComponents. These also need to work on a couple of W2K boxes. For the configuration I therefor need to use the dllhost.exe.config. Is there a way of updating the %SystemRoot%\system32\dllhost.exe.config file from a deployment package (MSI) Just copying it over an existing one would delete all existing settings. You could create a .NET library having a component which inherits from System.Configuration.Install.Installer and write your own code to read the config file. Then you could create a new config file with the initial settings any changes/updates you've read from the existing one and write it back to the system folder. You ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to make WCF encrypt the <body> of RM messages?

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone in here know whether it is possible to make WCF encrypt the body of the SOAP messages sent, not only for the payload, but also for the messages created by the Reliable Messaging layer (ie CreateSequence, TerminateSequence, etc.) Thanks, and best regards, Patrik Patrik, why do you need to do this The product doesn't do this by default because we deemed it unnecessary. It would be interesting to hear your take on it. Note that if you'll be encrypting RM protocol message bodies, you'll also want to encrypt RM headers. The additional confidentiality you're gaining will otherwise be all in vain. Ondrej ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Disable visually impairing ClearType in WPF?

  Hello,   I'm a developer and spend quite a bit of time on the computer.   After upgrading to the latest expression betas, I noticed the expression products got a nice UI overhaul.   They look nice!   However, I wear glasses for viewing objects in the distance because of my myopic vision and I do not use my glasses while working on the computer because I can see things quite clearly up close.   I've tried ClearType technology in the past, and tried various ClearType PowerToy tweak settings and still find that clear type anti-aliases fonts and makes them appear "blurry", "fuzzy" and "soft".   After working with the new expression products with ClearType enabled for about 3 minutes, my ey ...Show All
