• Visual Basic Wmi and vbscript

  I need to be able to output the amount of memory a script is using at various stages throughout its execution. I have never used wmi in a script before so i have no clue how to start. Can anyone please point me in a direction Thanks Woody Are you planning to do this in .NET using the WMI classes If not, then the best place to ask would be here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/topics/scripting.mspx in the VBScript technet newsgroup :-) ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums No way to pause a campaign?

  I am not seeing any way to pause a campaign. Also it does not appear there is any way to know the current status of a campaign. Is this functionality somewhere in the API Pause/resume functionality is currently available only at the individual order level, via the PauseResumeOrder API (which is a bulk API, despite the misleading singular name). Therefore, campaigns do not have a pause/resume "status" associated with them, that you could get or set. Orders do. ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlTransactions in a Multi-Threaded Environment

  I am currently working on a project in which I am using SqlTransaction objects with their IsolationLevel set to Serializable. I am wondering what would be the effect if multiple threads were to call this code at the same time Would the second transaction (created by the second thread on the same connection), for example, be queued until the first one (created by the first thread on the same connection) finishes Or would an exception be thrown for the second transaction In case an exception is thrown, would using the synchronization (locks) around critical sections solve the issue I guess it is easier to understand the scope of transactions in terms of multiple users, but it is confusing (for me) when I start thinking in terms of multip ...Show All

• SQL Server Identity Key possible problem

  Has anyone experience any problems with identity key value not incrementing properly I have a table with an identity key which should increment by one but has missing value. I would just like to exclude the possiblity of a SQL Server error. Missing values happen for identity columns when transactions are rolled back. Each time when you do an insert, the identity value gets incremented, but if the transaction that contains the insert does a rollback, you will loose the value. You are guaranteed that you will never get the same identity value, but it is possible to get holes in the numbers. ...Show All

• Windows Forms "Specified <entryPoint> is not valid" while reading Application manifest?

  Hi all, I'm trying to deploy a .Net 1.1 application using ClickOnce. All clients have .Net 2.0 installed (on which the 1.1 application runs fine), its just that the client code *has* to be built on the 1.1 platform. Hence, I can't use VS2005 to generate the manifest and deployment files for me, because it will cause the client code to be built for .Net 2.0 before generating the manifest and deployment files. So I figured I should use the Manifest Generator tool (mage.exe / mageui.exe) to generate these files for me, since it doesn't require my code to be rebuilt first. This seemed to work pretty well: just have Mage create a .exe.manifest file that contains all assemblies used by my application, and then have it create a deployment f ...Show All

• Commerce Server CS 2007 OrderGroupCollecion to PurchaseOrder with BizTalk2006 - best practice

  Hi I am querying CS 2007 with an OrderQuery from within Biztalk 2006 and this returns a group of Purchase orders. My question: As i only want to process 1 Purchase order at a time should / can i envelope the OrderGroupCollection within a receive pipe or should i use a looping map once the message has arrived in the Orcastration Thanks in advance Simon Simon, The CS2007 "Orders" Adapter for BTS2006 contains an "Adapter Endpoint Property" called "Orders Per Message" which can be set to "One Order Per Message". This should create separate messages, each containing only one purchase order. This property is set using the BizTalk Server 2006 Administrative Console. Jeff Lynch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error message

  Is there a place where I can look up what an error message means In particular, I keep getting the following message after I check in pending changes, what does it mean "Object reference not set to an isntance of an object." Thanks, Maggie It means something went really wrong and we are crashing somewhere. This might be something we already have fixed in SP1 so my first request would be to install it. After that if it does not go away then call MS support and see if they can provide you with a solution or QFE. For the future only the TF messages are searchable and you can just enter them in your favorite search site to get information. thanks, mario ...Show All
