• SQL Server View and query optimization

  I'm have made a series of tables and views to create some reports. I have included boiled-down versions of them below. The report query that I want to run (at the bottom) takes a long time to execute and sometimes times out. Creating a rank within the query is doing the most damage, but it can still take a long time to execute without it. The usage table has almost 70k records and there are over 10k users. Does anyone have suggestions for making these views/queries more efficient ========================== TABLE TGroupAudit AuditID, intOldGroupID, intNewGroupID, strUserID, dtJoinDate ========================== TABLE people ...Show All

• Visual Basic Button_Click Event won't fire

  I have upgraded a VB .Net (Framework 1.1) to Framework 2.0 and received a clean bill of health from the upgrade wizard until I added a New Data Grid View in place of an older (Framework 1.1) Data Grid.  Once I cleaned up the errors for commands which have been deprecated, I began to experience the following issue: I have seven (7) buttons on the form, 4 are fire filter functions on the data view grid and two (open other forms) and the final one is an exit button.  The two (2) buttons which open other forms are not firing.  I have placed break points on the first line within the try section as well as on the catch area, nothing ...Show All

  Hi What is the differenec between RemotingServices.Marshal and RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType.Which one is better to use.   Regards, Arabinda well. . . they both have their place. Marshal is good for dynamic publishing of Remoting Objects or for instancing Objects that have take parameters in their constructor. RegisterWellKnown is good for using factory objects. That is a Singleton object that returns an instance of a COA as part of its method call. I recommend Rammer's Advanced .Net Remoting.
