• SQL Server Performance issue

  I have a server that has a performance issues all of a sudden, when I run sp_who2 I only notice that the log writer and check point are in a suspended status. I am not sure what this means. I have done couple of restarts and they are still in suspended status and still have the same performance issues. Can anyone help me to figure out this issue. Emad They are almost perpetually going to be in a suspended status. What this means is that the process is running, it just isn't currently executing anything on the SPID when you look at it. This is normal operations for the log writer and checkpoint processes. (In previous version, it showed up as sleeping although this wasn't exactly accurate.) ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling Winform with UserControls from VB6 via Com

  We have some businessclasses and usercontrols (written in C#)in a dll, which are used from a .Net Winformclient. Our old VB6 client should be able to invoke also these usercontrols and so we implemented a comwrapperclass, which starts a Winform (same dll as comwrapperclass) and our usercontrols (other dll). All works fine, but sometimes we receive this errormessage " Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation "! Our usercontrols are localized and I suspect the ressourcemanager can't find the right ressource.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) SVG vs WPF/E

  What does WPF/E mean for support of native SVG documents in future versions of Internet Explorer Is WPF/E the sole Microsoft implementation of Scalable Vector Graphics, or can we expect IE to support SVG like Firefox 2.0 "WPF/E" is part of Microsoft web platform strory. SVG is a community effort external to that. We will make sure "WPF/E" is compatible with all the relevant browsers for its customers (in the Dec 2006 CTP we support IE, Firefox and Safari on Windows and on Mac). We will also make sure "WPF/E" is compatible with standard web applicaiton practices. Barak ...Show All

• SQL Server How to define a parameter to show the true values for any of 35 different products?

  My boss database is in a way that customers might have baught any of the 35 products of the company. Say if they have bought product# 16, and 27, these two values are true for that customer and the rest are false (the table has 36 columns: 35 for products and 1 for customer ID). How can I show if a customer has bought anything at all (some of them has not bought anything), and if so which numbers as a parameter I mean I want to have a parameter that user defines to see the result for customers who have number 10, 17 as true or number 6 as false I probably need two parameters, one for true and false and one for the number. Although I think if I have just one parameter, that might work too. Let's say the user checks numbers 5,9, and 14 a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Some controls in the toolbox are disabled

  Hi, I have developed some WinForms Controls for my apps, which I have also added to the toolbox in Visual C# Express 2005. In the first days it works great: I can drag&drop my controls on my forms.
