• .NET Development What type of collection to use

  I am going to be doing 2 for loops.  One cycles through one set of ProductIDs and another cycles through a different set of ProductIDs. I want to add Each Product ID, ProductID to a collection.  I'm not sure what I should use, a hashtable example: foreach(Product p in myvariable1) {     add p.ProductID to collection and call it ParentProductID } foreach(Product p in myvariable2) {     add p.ProductID to collection and call it RelatedProductID } I will retrieve the hash table later and use it in a call to my method which insert each Pair into a Relationship table and so I'm gonna want to cycle through that collection and do something like this: foreach (value pair in my collection of ProductIDs) {     ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services MemoryLimit

  We're having trouble with memory configuration in Reporting Services 2k5 SP1, running on Win 2k3 SP1. We have a very large report, which we've been running to benchmark performance.   First, here are the results of our testing: Initially, the server had 512mb of RAM. When running the report, the w3wp.exe process used up to 400mb of RAM and Reporting Services usually timed out before delivering the report. We increased the RAM in the server to 1024mb, and found we could run the report. It took around 02'30" to complete, and the w3wp.exe process peaked at 520mb of RAM usage. When we tried to run two instances of the report concurrently, RAM usage peaked around 800mb, and Reporting Services timed out before delivering the ...Show All

  ok...this is a very basic question, but stopping me from doing anything useful. I'm trying to create a basic "Sprite" class, but the telesense doesn't even recognize the class object I am creating.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft's future policy for redistributing Xbox 360 games?

  Before I commit serious time and effort to the XNA framework, I'm wondering if anyone knows Microsoft plans for allowing us to redistribute our games for Xbox360. I'm an academic. Let's say I want to make some educational/simulation games that my students can use on the Xbox 360. Will I be able to provide them with a CD or download link in XBox live As far as I can tell so far, the only games I can write are for myself. It would be nice to be able to publish the game to see a limited number of User IDs that are not in the creators club (say 10 or so) as a start to testing wider use. I was thinking of this if I were to try and get my nephews into computer programming it would be nice to publish some gam ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding an intellisense/snippet popup control to the code window

  I have a managed package that I'm working on that will display and manage your clipboard history. I'm trying to add a feature where when the user presses a keyboard shortcut, a popup list control (just like intellisense/code snippets look like) populated with list items representing their last 5 clipboard entries. I've not been able to locate an example or sample code demonstrating how to create that type of window border or how to implement this control/window into the code window, such that when you scroll or resize the IDE, the popup window coordinates stay relative to the code window. Is this even possible If so, can you point me in the direction of an example Cheers, Bobby Perikles, This was exactly what I needed. You did a gr ...Show All

• .NET Development FileStream doesn't release resources

  I have an application that is creating a number of images. After they have been created I try to FTP them to my webserver. This is done essentially by: Each image is saved by: 1. Create a filestream System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(Path + FileName, System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write); 2. Save the image Image.Save(fs, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); 3. Close the filestream fs.Dispose() fs.Close(); Now, when i try to send them to my webserver, i use a class that opens a filestream by input = New FileStream(FileName, FileMode.Open) But this produces an exception: IOException The process cannot access the file '<filename>' because it is being used by another process. If i create the images, ...Show All

• SQL Server My sqlcache doesn't work consistently under ASP.NET 2.0, any suggestion?

  I have some problem with ASP.NET cache, I found other people has similar problem, but I didn't find real solution. The one bother me most is the SQLCacheDependency doesn't work stable. I insert object in cache and has SQLCacheDependency linked. After a period of time, it stopped working. That means the the object is still in cache, but change on db side doesn't remove the cache entry. I am not sure if it is ASP side or SQL side, I feel it is ASP side. I am using 2.0 + SQL 2005. Once the db command notification stop working, you have to restart IIS or clear all items in cache since you don't kno which one is changed. The following is the code I use to handle the cache : string cacheKey = LinkSites.GetMappedKey(virtualPath, fi ...Show All
