• .NET Development How do I debug handle leak?

  Hello, I am experiencing a slow handle leak in my application. I can see this with Windows Task Manager over time and in the Performance console on the Process.HandleCount counter. It leaked about 30 handles overnight - 8 hours. The program is a two thread console application (or service) that periodically reads one database and either updates another database and/or sends a tcp message to a server. I use the background worker to wrap the second thread which does all the work. The background thread runs continuously with a 60 second pause between cycles. In my logging I can see the handles grow about every 34-42 minutes. They jump up by about 5-15 handles then it drops down by 1-5 handles, but never completely. The timing of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C++ 2005 express edition SDK info needed.

• Visual Studio Cannot Debug in VS2005

  I cannot launch the debugger in VS2005. I have a solution with numerous projects (1 C#, the rest VB). Whenever I run the solution and hit a break point, I get a message saying that Visual Studio has encountered an internal error. I have sent multiple error reports to Microsoft about this. This also happens when I just try and single step into the solution. Everything in the solutions builds fine and runs fine, until I try and use the debugger. I am running Windows XP (SP2) with a dual-core processor. I read some posts online that recommend setting up your startpage and I did that. I also set the project to run on x86 CPU and I am still having the same issue. Another developer in my environment can debug the exact same solution and the prim ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't install Full Text Search Option

  Hmn, this is a bit odd. I upgraded from SQL 2005 Express to SQL 2005 Express Advanced in order to have full-text search. I installed...full-text search service not there. Then I ran the install again and noticed that a option in the feature tree of things to install...included an entry for full-text search, so I checked it to indicate...yes install this to my hard drive. However, if I click Next, it shows that all modules have been installed and are "greyed" out and it cannot install because even though full text is not there, the installer doesn't believe this and says "everything you want is already there!" Any suggestions Do I have to (gasp) uninstall it all ....taking a working server down in the proc ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the best solution for delivery of the big tables?

  Hi! Well.. I've several big tables which take part in the merge replication (web synchronization is used) Is there any *painless* solution to delivery these tables to the subscribers Otherwise I've the snapshot with dozens of Mb.. Yes, the Parameterized Row Filters can be used, but sometimes it's necessary to get the whole table Thanks Paul if you are "replicating to sql server 2000" only check this option in the snapshot. If this is currently not selected it will save you lot of Hardisk space if you do choose this option if you have done so your only option left is to filter the publication. have a multiple publication-single subscriber topolog ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Handling events when hosting workflow in ASP.Net or a remote object

  I am looking to host workflow within ASP.Net and perhaps a remote object. In both cases it appears best practice to create the WorkflowRuntime once and reuse it for each call. However, having read Dino Espoito's article and looking at Matt Winkler's example I have some questions: In both cases their code registers with the WorkflowCompleted event on the WorkflowRuntime, but the handlers do not check that the workflow that has completed is the same one they started. Am I missing something here If the ASP.Net site was concurrently starting several workflows, how do you know which one you are handling the WorkflowCompleted event for Is it that because they use ManualWorkflowSchedulerService they only get an event raised that is relevant ...Show All
