• SQL Server Rebuild Index grew database .mdf files

  Hello, Overnight, I had a Rebuild Index job run and it grew the size of the database.mdf file approximately 4 times. 300MB to 1.2GB. It also changed the initial size of the database to 1.2GB. Is there any way to recover this space or to shrink the database I tried to shrink it with DBCC SHRINKDATABASE to no avail (only recovered 40MB). Do I have any options to reclaim the space Any ideas Thanks. It turns out that the cause of the increase in size of database files was due to the fact that I had the Rebuild Index job set with a fill factor of 10%. I tested a bit and found that if I set it to reorganize pages with the default amount of free space that it didn't triple/quadruple/etc the size of the files. ...Show All

• Visual C# A design pattern for retrying operations

  Is there a well-known design pattern for retrying methods that are likely to fail I am thinking of a delegate-based implementation where the delegate wraps the method to be invoked. The delegate would then be fed to a RetryMethod method that implements the actual logic behind retrying an operation. And what if each method that supports 'retrying' takes different parameters Would 'anonymous delegates' apply in this case Thanks, Yazan D Hi, IMHO, Observer design pattern can be used in this case though its not exactly for what you have asked for, using subscriber/notifier mechanism using delegates is the same what Observer pattern says. On failture, the notifier will notify to subsriber and it will call retry method (y ...Show All

• SQL Server Memory release

  I am using SQL Server 2000 SE. When I used my application, the SQL server memory go on increasing & it will never come down. Application runs very slowly. Can anybody suggest how to release memory from sql server. Thanks in advance. Hi Michael, thank you very much. I'm a SQL new programmer. I want to ask more. Suppose some users use my application concurrently. They run different reports and these reports use almost server memory. I saw this in server. After that these users close reports. I watch memory in server, it isn't released. If new report runs, in this case SQL sever/OS will automatically reallocate memory for new task-report. SQL server/OS work this way, isn't it Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The documentation needs seperation between PC and XBox 360

  I'm trying really hard to enjoy XNA. It seems like a clean break from native programming. I enjoy the innovation that MS gave, but maybe its just their docs that are just annoying right now. I read the docs and when I try to follow something on the Windows development side, it goes right into the XBox code and doesn't give me the source code I need for Windows. I thought I was reading a Windows section too, or sometimes hoping that I am. I wish Microsoft could seperate the differences because right now its just "oh and while you're doing reading about what relates to Windows development here, take a look at the XBox code below." All I can say right now is the documentation needs some seperating. I'm do PC development and I have n ...Show All

• .NET Development unexplained timer event

  Hi, When the user clicks a command button, my VB app starts a piece of hardware and then enables two timers: one timer callback reads and queues data from the hardware; the other timer callback processes that data. When all data has been processed, the timers are disabled (enable property set to false). When the command button is clicked again, one of the callbacks occurrs even though the code has not yet re-enabled the timer. That's not good for me. It acts as though there a backlog (queue) of timer elapse events remaining from the original run. Can that be The callback execution time is greater than the timer elapased setting. (The callback exits when it sees that a previous event of itself is still executing.) The flow ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem serialising interface arrays with BinaryFormatter.

  I couldn't find any discussion of this problem anywhere on the tubes, so: If I use BinaryFormatter to serialise an array of an interface references, for example IDisposable[], any members that are value types will not be deserialised properly. The problem only seems to occur with interfaces that are defined in another assembly. Attached is an example program to demonstrate the problem. The final call to Deserialize() will fail. The interface doesn't have to be IDisposable, it can be any interface in another assembly, I just used that one to make the example simpler. I don't have a good workaround, unfortunately, since I can't seem to create a surrogate for an array type. Seems pretty fundamental. Has anyone else noticed this probl ...Show All
