• SQL Server Looking for some magic

  ... well, perhaps some sophistication. The setup: Server A publishes to server B via transactional replication. Server A is to be shut down while some electrical work is done. So we fail over to server B for a couple days. My underpowered brain says to shut down replication, possibly fail over well in advance of the power outage. Then, when the electrical work is done and server A is restarted: 1) stop work on server B, 2) copy the database on B to A (I suppose after deleting it from A), and 3) redoing the replication from scratch. Can anyone recommend a better process I am very gratefull for any enlightenment. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Clickonce deployment - An attempt to attach an auto-named database failed

  Hi, I have an application which I wish to deploy using clickonce from a web server to a number of client machines using VS 2005 Beta 2. The application requires an SQL Server Express instance on client machines to manipulate user data.

However whenever the application is loaded on the client machine I get the exception "An attempt to attach an auto-named database failed....". This exception does not occur in normal debugging. It appears that it is trying to access a database file copied ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Do Loop

  The problem is when the main function of a do loop is too short the program will freeze like so: Do Until Running = False lbl.Text = "meh" Loop well since lbl.Caption = "meh" is executed so quickly in the loop the loop is executed at a rapid speed and the program will freeze immediately >_< what I want is to have a very rapid speed speed(less than 1 millisecond) but without having the program freeze immediately.
