• SQL Server Inconsistent performance from queues

  Hi everyone! I have a very brief question... I have 10 queues in my database and each of them are sent equal number of messages... There are instances where they execute/activate the stored procedures very fast but there are times where they don't, does anyone have an idea why this happens Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. :) I just noticed that I'm only ending the conversation in the TargetQueue and never in the InitiatorQueue (this is associated with the service that initiated the conversation). Could this be a possible cause I noticed that after all the processing, the InitiatorQueue contains a lot of message with message type of http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroke ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Issues rendering a triangle

  I understand this is beta and the docs aren't complete, but the docs are very limited. I'm attempting to render a triangle to the screen and am failing. I was hoping for basic code as was provided with MDX. Currently I get a cornflower blue screen but nothing is rendered. I've attempted taking the vertex declaration out of a using clause, and that did nothing. Any ideas I figure I must be missing some setting somewhere. Here's my draw function: protected override void Draw() { // Make sure we have a valid device if (!graphics.EnsureDevice()) return; VertexPositionColor[] triangle = new VertexPositionColor[3]; triangle[0] = new VertexPositionColor(new Vector3(-1.0f, 0.0f, 5.0 ...Show All

• .NET Development Aspect Oriented Programming techniques - intercepting calls to properties/methods - how?

  I'm curious to know how aspect-oriented programming tools for .NET are able to work. In other words, how do you intercept a call to a property getter or setter, or to any other method Is it possible to use reflection and the Emit namespace to read an assembly and replace it with another assembly that is identical except for a few extra method calls before and after what was previously the method body Does this need to happen in a linking step (weaving multiple assemblies together) or could it be done dynamically by replacing an in-memory assembly What restrictions does the CLR impose on reaching into an AppDomain and making in-memory changes to the MSIL there Is it able to re-JIT changed methods Dan O ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WINSOCK DGRAM socket bind() BUG

  Hi, I think that I found a bug in Vista winsock implementation, I'm not sure where to report, so I'll post it here. Description: If bind() call on datagram socket returns that scocket is in use WSAEADDRINUSE (10048), then next call of bind() on the same socket on a free port returns WSAEINVAL (10022) i.e socket is bound already. How to reproduce: Write a simple program that opens 2 datagram sockets, bind one of them on a free port, then bind the second socket on the same port, so you'll get WSAEADDRINUSE, then try to bind the second socket on a free port and you'll get WSAEINVAL. Test case: WSADATA wsaData; int iResult = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData); SOCKET Socket1 = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS migration wizard, where does it put migrated version?

  From SQL Server Management Studio I right click on Management/Legacy/DTS and select Migration Wizard and enter a SQL Server Source and Destination. A list of DTS packages from the source server is displayed and I select one of the DTS packages and give the destination a unique name. The wizard runs and says it's successful.

• Windows Search Technologies Locked Network Files

  Question: Other than excluding mapped network drives from indexing, is there a way to avoid WDS locking network files and preventing others from working with them (specifically, saving them) Details: When one or more workstations in our office are configured to index shared network resources, very often (larger) files in these locations become locked by the indexer, thus preventing the author from working with the files. In a specific example, we often run into problems updating PDFs or saving a Visio documents. The file server shows that the lock belongs to an unattended workstation running WDS. Also, it's odd that many of the files are fairly static... causing us to wonder why the indexer would be looking at the content again a ...Show All
