• SQL Server How to enforce SQL Server 2005 to use Worktable?

  I have a problem in SQL Server 2005. In some cases SQL Server produces an execution plan of complex query (8 joins of views, some of views contains couple of joins) which does not contain a woktable creation in tempdb. As a result time of query execution increasion for about 5 seconds to about 4 minutes. All necessary indexes are created. It sims all data located in cache. Is there any way to enforce SQL Server to create worktable Query SELECT [a0].[id],[a0].[Priority],[a0].[Heading],[a0].[DocumentDate],[a0].[LastName],[a0].[FirstName],[a2].[Name],[a1].[Position],[a4].[ContactTime],[a4].[Subject],[a0].[WorkPhone],[a0].[MobilePhone],[a0].[FaxNumber],[a0].[PrimaryEmail],[a5].[ContactTime],[a6].[Value],[a7].[id],[a7].[id_class],[a8].[id ...Show All

• SQL Server EventHandlers firing events

  I ran into a pretty bizzare behavior in SSIS: I am trying to set up a package with a built-in auditing. It has a OnPreExecute, OnPostExecute and OnError event handlers. I am trying to record when the package starts, completes, and the completion status. Each one of these event handlers has a script task that does the logging. I put in debug message boxes into each event handler script to understand what goes on. So here's the sequence of events: 1. When starting the package the OnPreExecute event fires. Right away it fires the second time. I'm guessing what happens here is the script task within the event handler fires its own OnPreExecute event - that's how the first message really pops up. The second message is generated by the act ...Show All

• Visual C# Classes with the same name in the same namespace....

  Hi All, In my solution I have 2 classes with the same name in the same namespace. This was legal in VS.net 2003 (.Net 1.1) and all the compiler did was to raise warning about this problem. However with VS.net 2005 (.Net 2.0), this has changed it now throws a compiler error for the same. Is it possible to get around this issue in any way without having to change the class names... Thanks in Advance andypai This code compiles. The compiler picks up the defintion from the first reference in its refernce list that matches... I agree it is bad coding practice but I have inherited this piece of code from the previous team and I dont want to make changes unless I really have to :-) So, the functioning of your appliation d ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual Studio 2005 - PILE OF ***!

  Hi, Although .NET 2.0 has brought ,any great additions to the .NET family, the IDE for me is the worst part of the experience. 1. The IDE is terribly slow... much slower than it should be. 2. The IDE seems full of bugs. These two problems do not make a good productivity combination. I do not believe Visual Studio 2005 is suitable for enterprise development, where you typically work on large scale solutions consisting of hundreds of projects. The IDE simply chokes on large solutions. Intellisense comes to a grinding halt and solution level configuration changes, such as setting debug/release mode take minutes (2minutes or more per click). The number of crashes of the IDE per day is also pretty high. We have started recordi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Runninc vc++ programs on other machines

  I want to run programs that I write using vc++ EE on different machines. So far I've tried dubbuging the program, then only transfering the .exe, but it didn't work. Transfering the whole debbug folder on the second machine didn't work either. The error it gave was "The program failed because of bad configuration. Reinstall may fix the issue", or something along those lines. I know that there used to be a tool for this in older vc++ versions. Is there one for EE aswell I don't think you can create setup projects using the express edition. If they are there though, they would be under Other Project Types->Setup and Deployment. You don't need VS to create a setup project though, there are ot ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serial Port Mapping Problem on Pocket Pc 2003 Emulator

  Hello all; I am developing an RFID reader project, using VS2005 C#.NET on pocket pc emulator. My rfid reader device is connected on serial port of my computer. I can read and write to serial port of reader on pc application, but when I try to use emulator in my software, I fail to communicate. My device is on COM2. I map it to serialPort1(I guess it means COM1) on emulator, then I write my software which tries to communicate with COM1, then I deploy it. It seems to open the port, but when I try to send message, the program freezes. The weirdest thing is that, I can only open COM1 port on emulator, even if I map my device to serialPort2, or even if I don't map anything. I guess this means that mapping is not working ...Show All
