• .NET Development Problems with .Net 2.0 RC Framework and accessing Performance Counters (specifically Processor)

  I have written a tool to dump performance counter data from any number of sources to a perfmon-compatible csv file. The problem is... on certain performance objects such as Processor\% Processor Time\_Total.... I get a zero back no matter what I do.

I have checked al ...Show All

• .NET Development Program exits without throwing exception

  I have a problem that I did not think could occur in the .NET environment. I have a .NET program that when the user clicks on a certain option the program just vanishes.

The problem is that the vanishing occurs randomly depending on where I set breakpoints. I can be stepping ...Show All

• Visual C# Using OS to open files

  I am currently writing an app that extracts files from a database and attempts to open them using Process.Start(); It works fine as long as the file type has an association, but if there is no association, I get an exception.  What we are looking to have is for the OS to handle it just as if you tried to open a file from Windows Explorer and the file type is unassociated, you get a Windows Dialog (Windows cannot open this file) What d ...Show All

The application is a .NET app and this application uses the SQL Server name in the connection string. As far as I know we can’t have two severs on the same domain with the same name. So if our primary server (server A) goes down and that server name is in the connection string how does the application get r ...Show All
