• .NET Development New Rows do not appear in SQL database

• .NET Development Keeping a service running

  I have an app that was originally written as a WinForms app that I need to convert to a Service. Most of that work is done, but I'm running into one last problem... The app was architected such that it creates N instances of a class. The class instances do all the work, and the WinForm app just listened to a particular event to give feedback. In the original app, the WinForm Message Pump loop kept the app alive, but now that its a service, it doesn't stay alive. IE, when the service starts, it creates the instances of the class, then exits. And once that main thread exits, the whole app exits. How do I keep the main thread alive I'm assu ...Show All

• SQL Server Join tables Count problems

  Help,   I have 2 tables one called ProjectHeader and the other called ProjectSuppliers.   There is a one to many relationships. I’m trying to get a count of the total number of projects for a certain supplier where the Date Entered is less then 5/1/2206 with the Bid Date greater than 3/31/2206.   When I run the query below the count comes back wrong.   I know it’s because the ProjectSupplier table can have multiply entries of the supplier under the same Projectid. For example, the query below gives me a count of 206 projects for Miller in Tampa. Where he really only has 169 projects entered. I know y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ASP.NET - Unit test question

  We are developing some ASP.NET web controls and need to test this development effort. I am beginning to write unit tests using Team Test so that I can test the controls with different flavors of datasets. One of the problems I have hit into is that the source code has logic and UI development tied together. Some of the functions expect a value for variables such as Page, Session and Control IDs.  When I create regular unit tests these variables have null values because of which the functions fail even though they may return expected values within the ASP.NET environment.  So I am trying to create a test website that has these cont ...Show All
