• SQL Server Question about Database Mirroring and Possibly NLB

  OK since my company really would not prefer to spend the money for Windows 2003 Enterprise and MS SQL 2005 Enterprise I was thinking about this idea... Server1 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Primary Server2 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Mirror Server3 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Witness Server4 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Processing OK So we have Server1 & Server2 doing the Database Mirroring. Then I have Server3 as the Witness to say who is the Primary and so forth. Now Server4 I thinking to us to create jobs that will run on a Schedule to pull data from our Ticketing system and import it into Server1 & Server2 (Yes this is a Datawarehouse).. So what I am wondering... We really wish to not have to change our connections to the DB wit ...Show All

To proceed, you must exit setup, set the application pool identity (TFSWSS) to use the Team Foundation Server service account, and then run setup again. 1.

• .NET Development dot net framework 2.0

  We have an application running on Dot NET Framework 2.0 Local it is working fine. From the network it will not work.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA doomed?

  XNA may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I don't see it getting a lot of support until you make a simple web page that explains what features the XNA framework supports and why I would want to use it. I'm not going to download the thing just to figure out what it is. You might also check the FAQ . I've seen videos of XNA being talked about on major news networks, there's an XNA GSE ad in one of my son's issues of Boy's Life, it's been talked about in gaming magazines... It's far from doomed. Once the Dream-Build-Play competition gets into swing (hint, hint guys! ) it's going to explode I think. ...Show All

• .NET Development About the retry mechanism of Remoting

  Hi, I am using .Net remoting in my app. and there some socket errors, such as "Invalid handle" or "the target is not a socket", etc., happen during remoting. I can use the try...catch mechanism to avoid the fatal exception and realize the error processing. I wonder if some retry mechanism is available in .NET. I intend to implement a mechanism to retry the same remoting process for serveral times before quit it completely. Will this work it out Thank you! Thanks a lot for your reply. I will take a thorough look at your suggestion and consider some ipmrovement to my program. Up to now, I just intuitively suspicious of Remoting itself and your reply made me confident . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services

  Hi, I had originally posted "TF30059: Fatal error while initializing web service ". We went ahead, rebuilt the server and reinstalled TFS. Installation went fine and I can create a project on the server using Team Explorer. On the client machine I can connect to TFS and access the project, but cannot create a new project. The wizard completes almost all the steps, then bombs on: Unable to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services at servername.ucr.edu. I have added myself as a WSS administrator on the server. I have checked the RegProxyFileCache.xml file on my local machine. The logfile is lengthy, so I've only include the exception towards the end. ***************************************** ---begin Exception entr ...Show All

• Visual C# how to get current line number ?

  Hi, is there any way to obtain current line number in C#. looks like a __LINE__ in C++.. thanks. No there is not. Can you explain what you want it for and perhaps someone can provide an alternative solution Presumably you want to be able to generate a message containing the current line #. This is not really doable other than through a call stack trace (which can't be done in C++). The call stack trace will give you all the information you'll need like the filename, method name and line #). However this information is dependent upon having the PDB file available.

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with running Continuous Integration

  I am going to be running CI, and I forsee some problems that are going to arise. I am going to be having approximately 26 team build projects that are going to be running on CI. If each of those are run say 3 times a day - that will leave me with almost 80 entries in the "integration build", "found in build", "resolved in build" fields. I would like to have these builds ignored, as I have a main build which will "sweep up" all of the work items and change sets. What is the best way to do this fyi, I tried to rename my build to CI but you can't overwrite one with the same name once it has built... Thanks Jason, In particular, I would like a filter that would only dis ...Show All

  I am trying to get a splitscreen to work and it does sort of. The problem is the models drawn now look messed up, like the zbuffer is messed up or something. Here is what I'm doing: protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) { cameraPosition.Z = 5000; graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport = topViewport; Draw(); cameraPosition.Z = -5000; graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport = bottomViewport; Draw(); } In the Draw function I am clearing the viewport to CornfolowerBlue and drawing the models. What am I missing here. you have to set your viewport's minDepth and maxDepth according to the values you used in the projection matrix. Like this: viewport.X = 0; viewport.Y = 0; viewport.Width = thi ...Show All

• SQL Server data are not allocated in the properly NDF. Why?

  Hi everyone, The followings actions works fine. But only the first NDF (PRIMERO) is growing up.
