• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) WPF/E Deployment

  Hello, I have created a WPF/E control that I am attempting to deploy.  I have successfully deployed the control locally.  However, I want to deploy it to a publicly visible server. A strange thing seems to be occurring.  I have validated, via javascript, that my wpf/e control is not null.  However, I attempt to access a wpf/e element via JavaScript using control.FindName("ControlElement") and the return value is null.  However, when I run the same code locally, I get the expected control. The item that is throwing me off is the fact that the wpf/e control is not null, however, I can't seem to access the elements of the control.  I have several questions, Does the hosting server have to have t ...Show All

• SQL Server Optimal cpu utilization

  Hi all, What is the maximum CPU utilization for SQL SERVER to function properly. our server's CPU utilization is touching an averrage of 70-80 % is it ok What can be the result of CPU utilization touching 80+ constantly Actually, 75% - 80% is generally regarded as the maximum efficient usage of a CPU. After 80%, the CPU starts to become bogged down with scheduling threads, and other workload management tasks. This server is in trouble. Run a trace, and check for queries that are using more than 1,000 reads. Some of these may be tunable with indexes, or possibly re-writing them to use existing indexes. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. Dave Don't take this personally, but this kind of "canned" response, not even related to the question matter is what really irritates a lot of people ab ...Show All

• Visual C# Classes without namespaces (Error 1)

  Hi, I'm debugging someone else's code. The programmer is not using namespaces and all his classes are in different files with the name of the class as the filename. Somehow, only on my machine, I get an error saying: Error 1 The type or namespace name 'MyClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference ) Works fine on his computer. How does the IDE resolve the "using" statement and, if someone is only writing classes without namespaces, how can the compiler find a class when it's being used as a type in another class (and file) Plus, if a file is included in a project, doesn't the IDE "register" the possible use of all the classes defined inside that file Is there ...Show All

• SQL Server Stripping out numbers from a string

  Hi I have a field that starts with numbers and then has a description after if, eg. "123 This is the description for string 123" 1. How would I go about stripping out the first instance of number to leave the string as "This is the description for string 123" thanks. Bill From the problem described, we can't use any form of REPLACE, since that will take away all occurences of '123'.. We want to keep '123' in both parts, right Not take them away One way to split the string into two, is to simply substring it apart. The trick here is to figure out where to split - ie where is the end for the first substring, and where is the start for the 2nd substring It seems like this is what we ...Show All

• Windows Forms Stepping into Windows.Forms IL code...

  Dear Microsoft, I am trying to solve a tricky problem. The only way I can continue the investigation is to step into the IL of System.Windows.Forms and therefore see what is happening at the lowest level. This should give me enough of a clue to work out what is going on. But I cannot find anywhere in the docs or on the Internet a description of how to step into System.Windows.Forms IL code. The fact it is IL is not a problem. Can it be done and how (This is for Visual Studio 2005 and .NET2) Thanks Phil Wright http://www.componentfactory.com Free user interface controls for .NET2 You can't step the IL, it gets converted into assembly code by the JIT compiler. You can step through that code to get ...Show All
