• Windows Forms (exename) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience... (VB.Net 2003)

  Using Visual Basic .Net 2003 IDE (Editor) and am getting the above message at random times in a new project which receives "Windows Messages" from another program of which I have no source code. (It was done in "Visual C++ 6.0".) Running the program outside of the editor does the same thing. Also see that the actual error is 0x80000003 but the report that gets generated when this error occurs is very very confusing and offers no helpful hints as to what to look into to find the actual root cause of this issue. Have looked for a clear explanation to the 0x80000003 error but unable so far to find anything remotely helpful. Recompiled and reran the program after installing the latest Windows XP patches with the same results. Would like to FIX ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance is degraded drastically after migrating to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE 2000

  Hi, Recently we have migrated our application from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server Express 2005(SP 1). This has significantly reduced the performance of our Windows.NET application which is developed using C#. For example : While logging in to the application two databases are being attached. Time taken in MSDE: 16 secs Time taken in SQL Server Express 2005 : 58 secs Also note performance is degraded for normal screens where data is retrived from database using inline queries. Questions: 1) Is there any special(optimum) configuration(installation parameters) while installing the SQL Server Express 2005 setup 2) Is there any query optimization to be done w.r.t SQL Server ...Show All

• SQL Server AdventureWorks Database not showing up management studio express

  After installing the Adventure works database samples they do NOT show up in Management Studio Express I have done a clean install of SQL Server Express 2005 SP1 with Advanced services. The database samples only install as physical files, they are not attached to the SQL Server process. If you want to use them, go in the SSMS and right click on the Database node, choose All Tasks and click Attach database.. Locate the MDF File and the LDF File and click Apply (or OK). SQL Server will attach the databases to the SQL Server process and you can access the data. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Visual C# Cache

  I'm looking to cache a number of tables from a DB on startup of a remoting service host. I need to cache key/value pairs, ranging from a <5 to ~100 values per table. As this is a remoting services solution, multiple readers could be calling the cache at any time. I'm thinking I have a static Cache class in as part of my remoting host project. OnStart of the service then spins off a thread that populates a series of static hashtables with the key/value pairs. These hashtables are then accessible to the calling services as-needed. Am I overlooking anything Any thread-safety issues I believe hashtable is thread-safe for multiple readers, correct All code, by definition, is thread-safe for reading. I ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Integrating JSON with WPF/E

  I've been playing a lot with creating dynamic XAML lately and while I'm a big fan of XML it can definitely get in the way when large chunks of a WPF/E document need to be added. Since WPF/E integrates nicely with JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX can be used, is there any chance that you're considering adding a CreateFromJson() type method so that we could feed dynamic JSON objects representing the XAML objects to the control instead of XML strings A perfect scenario is calling Web Services with ASP.NET AJAX and adding the XAML returned to a canvas. If calls are returned as JSON rather than XML, the message payload is minimized substantially and it's a lot easier and more concise to work with in many cases. It would be a nice tie-in to ASP.N ...Show All

• .NET Development Is there a functional interface to ilasm

  I'm wondering if there is a way to invoke ilasm passing a pointer to a stream of cil text code and then taking the resulting assembly and working with it via Reflection.Emit Or is there something in Reflection.Emit itself that can take a whole section of cil text and assemble it all at once If there is, is it possible to also pass in a pointer to the memory address at which you would like the byte codes to be written And what about the metadata; can you also indicate a target location for this Does such an animal exist Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
