• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 64 bit vs. SQL Server 2005 32 bit

  Hi, We were planning to upgrade our SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 to leverage the performance improvements in 2005. For the upgrade we were thinking of SQL Server 2005 32 bit and SQL Server 2005 64 bit and hence did the performance testing on the both the versions. To our surprise 32 bit version performed much better than 64 bit. For 64 bit we also increased the RAM from 16GB to 64GB. Could anyone pls explain why this is happening We had an understanding that 64 bit will definitely perform better than 32 bit. Does query plan differ for 32 bit and 64 bit SQL server 2005 Thanks in advance Ritesh how are you comparing performance Yes you can get query plan dif ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem downloading items from SharePoint list in Outlook

  Hi there, I'm developing an addin for Office 2007 using VSTO 2005 SE which utilizes four lists located on a MOSS 2007 server. The user is supposed to click on an STSSync link on a web page for Outlook to synchronize to these lists. For my addin to be able to detect those lists, I needed to use a trick: The STSSync link directs to a web service I've built which acts as if it was the lists.asmx from SharePoint. This web service forwards the method calls from Outlook to the real MOSS server and vice versa. The reason I'm doing this is because I don't want the Outlook addin to need to know the actual list guids in SharePoint, it should only know predefined guids from my own application. The web service replaces the guids in the XML returned by ...Show All

• Visual C++ Suspected with Rational Clearcase problem when using Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, I have posted on this problem I am having before, but I have learned more about the problem so here is an updated post on it. I am trying to build an application using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP SP2. The build is taking place on the Clearcase drive (M drive) in a normal view. The binary is built but fails when I try to use it with the following error: The system cannot execute the specified program. Using the depends.exe facility on the binary, I have found that the problem is that the dll MSVCP80.DLL is missing. Since the binary is being built using VC 8, this DLL is contained in the side-by-side Assembly Microsoft.vc80.crt, which is itself referenced by a manifest embedded within the binary. If this manifest cann ...Show All

• .NET Development String concatenation optimized for avg. incoming packet size

  Hi, I'm currently working on a socket server that handles incoming ASCII encoded strings and I want to optimize the concatenation and framing of the incoming strings. Messages are stored in a buffer until message boundary is detected and released for processing. So, what I'm basically wondering is, if it's of any benifit to use a StringBuilder for the concatenation of the incoming string or if I can simply concatenate strings with str += "incomingstring"; My thinking is that StringBuilder doesn't add much benefit because PPPoE MTU is at 1492 and my messages have varying lengths from 100 to 400 bytes, which "SHOULD" mean that I ususally get the whole message per incoming packet. Am I right with this assumption ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .net 2.0 -->excel

  In my code I would like to connect to Excel. The references i have in the project are: Excel, Microsoft.Office.Core, VBIDE, ... The excel and office references are for version 10.0. There is no version 11.0 on my machine. The error is for Interop i.e. Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office' (are you missing an assembly reference ) Thanks As you said, you have v10.0 not v11.0; it means you should be having Ofice 2002 not Office 2003. The interop reference should get created automatically when you reference to COM of Excel. You can try creating reference again and check if that reference gets created. I am not sure i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Select Case statement being evil

  The select case statement is out to get me! Has anyone else run into the trouble of having a Select Case statement and one of the case statements has hit if you look at the data, but refuses to hit anyway That probably doesn't make sense... Put it this way... I have, say, a ListBox control that has three IP addresses in it. For argument's sake we'll say the three items are: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 These items have the indices 0, 1 and 2 respectively. Now, inside a function that receives a string of data (T) from a network user I have code that's something like this: Dim X As Integer For X = 0 To (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) Select Case ListBox1.Items(X) Case T 'Code segment 1 Case Else 'Code ...Show All
