• Visual Basic How would I make a .XML doc like .INI?

  Hi. So far, I think I have gotten my form to write .XML with this code... (This is just a test form, I will add it to the real one once I get this figured out) Dim Saved As New Xml.XmlTextWriter( "..\Test.xml" , Nothing ) With Saved .Formatting = Xml.Formatting.Indented .Indentation = 2 .WriteStartDocument() .WriteStartElement( "1stStartElement" ) .WriteStartElement( "2ndStartElement" ) .WriteElementString( "TextBox1_Value" , TextBox1.Text) 'Saves TextBox1's value .WriteElementString( "TextBox2_Value" , TextBox2.Text) 'Saves TextBox2's value .WriteElementString( "TextBox3_Value" , TextBox3.Text) 'Saves TextBox3's value .WriteEndElement() .WriteEndElement() .WriteEndDocument() .Flush() ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection Pooling not working

  I have a form that has a number of database calls. It does these sequentially. In some cases it's not possible (due to archetecture more than anything) to make these calls all on the same connection. However it does open then close the connection. (all connections created are in using statements) What I'm seeing is that we're getting a timeout when the 100 connection limit is hit. Looking at Activity Monitor I can see these connections growing and growing over time in the activity monitor the more windows you open and close even though these connections are closed. (and they all use exactly the same connection string) data source=(Local);initial catalog=Evolution;password=dyknalna;user id=EvolutionUser;Connection Timeout=20; I read ...Show All

• SQL Server Regd - License requirement for Replication

  Hello, I am trying to figure out if we want to implement replication in SQL Server 2005 does it require licensing . I have got information on BOL for license information on cluster and log shipping , but didnot get any exact information for license regardign Replication and Database Mirroring. Can anybody please direct me to where I can checkout . Thanks Replication is part of SQL server, so if you have the appropriate SQL server license, that should be sufficient. Since you can only use replication from one SQL server to another server. Gary ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication - General Architecture

  Hi All... We're developing an asp.net based project. We plan to deploy it across multiple servers running in an NLB environment. That is NLB via hardware or software - we generally leave that decision up to our customer. Different from prior projects we've done, this application will rely on a SQL Server 2005 database. With the NLB, we essentially install our application many times across multiple servers. As hits come in from clients, they'll get directed to one server or another by whatever NLB technique is being used. The applicaiton generally doesnt care which server is hit. But what about the database What's a typical or best architecture to employ Should each server have an instance of SQL Server and then somehow through replica ...Show All

FTP i would like to know what is the different between them and which one should i use thank you mic Dear Mic, File System option was included in the new version of visual studio (2005) in order to support Windows versions that do not include IIS, like WinXP Home. Using this option you will use instead of IIS another hosting process called "Web Development Process" (or something like that) for hosting your ASP.NET applications. Of course this new "process" is not as powerful as IIS so it is intended to be used only for de ...Show All

• SQL Server using Output clause and return timestamp and return value

  I am trying to bring my stored proc's into the 21st century with try catch and the output clause. In the past I have returned info like the new timestamp, the new identity (if an insert sproc), username with output params and a return value as well. I have checked if error is a concurrency violation(I check if @@rowcount is 0 and if so my return value is a special number.) I have used the old goto method for trapping errors committing or rolling back the transaction. Now I want to use the try,catch with transactions. This is easy enough but how do I do what I had done before I get an error returning the new timestamp in the Output clause (tstamp is my timestamp field -- so I am using inserted.tstamp). Plus how do I check for co ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CLR -> XML namespace mapping bug

  Hi, I have found what I believe is a bug in the CLR -> XML namespace mapping functionality. I am trying to map a namespace in the current assembly to an XML namespace like this: xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyProduct.MyNamespace" This works fine as long as the current assembly isn't signed. If it is signed, an exception is thrown: {System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.0.2497.20670, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. <snip> It appears as though a weak name is assumed ( PublicKeyToken=null ).
