• SQL Server "Replication" between two servers which do not have connection at all

  Hello, Heros of The Programming World! How it is possible to perform "replication" between two databases using technological means of MS SQL Server 2005 if two servers do not have a connection at all. The only thing is possible - is transfer of data for the replication on a CD. What is the best way to do it if central database has a hundreds of such "subscribers" I'm not quite sure I understood why I need to manipulate with master database... As far as I understood from the book about a replication, I need to use schema with one publisher, one distributor and several subscribers. Some of subscribers wil ...Show All

• Visual Basic It's slow!!!

  Hello After I turn on my computer and when I launch first program (which programed by VB2005), it's take a long time to show main form. VB6 was faster.   CPU speed: 2600 MHz Memory: 1024 MB  Is there a solution for that   Thanks & Regards What do you mean by 'long time' It's possible that, even though windows appears to have finished booting up, it hasn't - it's still loading and starting various services (e.g.SQLServer). Additionally, it may be that the .NET framework needs to load prior to your application loading. Did you try using a splash screen to see if t ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiprocessor builds

  I'm looking into buying new machines for my developers and was looking at the new dual core processors from Intel as an option to get faster compiles as compared to a "normal" single core processor. So my question is, does the C# compiler in VisualStudio 2005 take advantage of the dual execution cores or would I just be better off with a faster clocked P4 Thanks in advance for any info. Tom. There is nothing wrong with buying a 64-bit processor, such as the Athlon x64. They run 32-bit code as well as 64-bit. The output of a compiler is dependent on the compiler, not the processor it is run o ...Show All
