• Visual Basic Processor optimized compiler

  Hi all, I want to improve the performance of my application by compiling my application with a processor optimized compiler. Is there a vb.net compiler optimized for Xeon processors Now, I know that the vb compiler compiles the code into an intermediate language file. So I can’t actually see any improvements here, or am I wrong That’s why I think to use ngen.exe to pre-compile my application assemblies. Is there a special ngen.exe optimized for Xeon processors available Any answer could help me further. Regards, George Homorozeanu. I want to optimize our application for XEON processors because we have a terminal server and the application will run on that terminal ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development XPath Syntax - which is best?

  state:actioned()=true() state:actioned()=true state:actioned()=1 state:actioned() Are all of those valid and one in the same Depending on which document or sample I'm looking at I see all flavors. The second one ( focused()=true ) is an error, since true by itself is undefined. The rest are equivalent, but yeah, having no RHS is less typing. Note that any non-empty string is converted to true, so you could have focused()='0' or focused()='false' or even focused()='Jack Sparrow' and they would all be equivalent to true() . Only focused()=0 or focused()=false() or focused()='' or not(focused()) are really false. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows 98/.Net Framework Problem

  Hi, I have a ClickOnce, VB Express application that is working fine on many clients, except for a client who is stuck in the world of Windows 98. I have uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed .Net Framework 2 several times. The reboots seem clean, but when I attempt to Run the application, the file is downloaded and then Windows asks if I want to Run or Save the file. In either case, Windows attempts to open the file, Prize%20Money[1], but of course there is no application associated for this file. I assume that there is a problem with either Windows 98 or .Net Framework 2, but I don't have clue where to begin. Although, I'd like to tell the client to upgrade his old iron and get Windows XP this is not an option. Thanks for your sugg ...Show All

• Visual C++ Cannot Get Proper Build of Petzold's DLL Sample Code

  I am attempting to build Charles Petzold's sample code for DLLs. The code in particular is the EdrLib code. The problem I am having is that a DLL is built but does not work. It is not even close to what appears to be the proper size, i.e. my debug build is 44K while the debug build supplied with Petzold's code is 197K. On further examination using the test harness I built using Petzold's code, EdrTest, it works with Petzold's dll but not with mine. The working environment is Visual Studio Professional 2005 on a Win2K box with the Windows 2003 Server SDK. Am I missing something critical. The project was set up as a Win32 projec, DLL, empty project. Thanks in advance for your assistance. SvenC wrote: What error do you g ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server roles & ASP.NET 2.0 Forms Authentication Roles

  Apologies if my post does not fit into this forum. I initially tried the SQL Server Data Access forum but I now think my question is more security related. Is it possible for a web user who has been successfully authenticated with forms authentication to be authorised to use a SQL Server 2000 role depending on a particular ASP.NET 2.0 role that they have been authorised to use I understand that that I can assign a SQL Server 2000 role to the ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE account but this will grant access to anonymous web users to the database role. I can ensure that I only call stored procedures which access sensitive data in web pages that are in restricted by ASP.NET roles. However, it would be nice to also restrict stored procedures via ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Closing a callback channel

  I've looked but I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. How do you close a callback channel The doc for OperationContext.GetCallbackChannel says it returns a "channel" to the client. That all works great. But if it's really a channel, shouldn't I be able to cast it to IChannel and call Close I've tried to do that and it's an invalid cast. I've also tried ICommunicationObject, etc. All without any success. The goal: When my services are being closed, I'd like to close all of these callback channels in an orderly manner. Thanks.

• SQL Server Forced failover taking too long ... am I missing something?

  Hi all, We have to support forced failover under certain scenarios. Whilst using 'ForceFailoverAndAllowDataLoss' work perfectly the database is not available for several minutes. The failover command returns very quickly, but the database enters a recovery/restore state and will not accept connections for up to 2 minutes. Am I missing an additional step that would speed this up Many thanks, Nick Hi Nick, When you force failover, the mirror database first redoes whatever outstanding log it has received from the principal and then restarts the database so it goes through normal crash recovery. You can monitor the duration of the first phase by looking at the "Redo Queue KB&q ...Show All

• Visual Basic Code Snippets

  As I was trying to create my own snippets, I added two new ones to the database folder. Now I cannot access this folder from VB 2005 Express. Besides, I created a new folder and added a snippet.

Hi, Have you tried selecting ALL FILES view in the OPEN File/Project window If not each file should end with "dot vb" as in >> my_Code_Snippet_For_An_Example_Class.Vb Each "dot vb" file is simply a text file so you should be able to load it into Notepad, WordPad or Word.
