• Visual Studio Team System Load Testing - .Net Windows App

  Hi All, How do I load test a .Net windows based application We have a Desktop application that works with 2 databases. A local MS access and central Oracle DB.

• SQL Server Compatiblity of SQLDMO and SQLSMO with respect to scripting via COM

  Hi all, I need your help: Context : I have developed since long an installation with InstallShield's InstallScript language. This installation "talks" to SQLServer2000 in order to install, upgrade, backup and restore the application's database. All this is done in the InstallScript code using SQLDMO currently, using the COM interface as if using VB script. Problem : Now as we are preparing to support installation on SQL2005, I am investigating the usage of SQLSMO, as SQLDMO cannot be excepted on all target systems (SQLExpress must be supported, too). I looked in the SMO namespace and recognized, that the contained classes are registered as COM objects, too. Due to this I have no problem creating a Microsoft.SqlServer. ...Show All
