• Architecture Architecture options for running a long process from an ASP.NET website

  Hi, We currently have a solution where a user can upload a file, which gets processed in an ASP.NET v1.1 intranet website The solution was designed to handle 10-100 items, but customers have (ab)used the solution to process 1000-10000 items. Processing 100 items takes less then a minute, processing 1000 items takes around 7 minutes, larger uploads take (non-linear) longer. Now besides performance tuning the processing, I want to gather feedback on what is the best strategy to take the upload and have it process 'asynchronously'. After the upload, the user would immediatly get a status page which would refresh itself (every so often) ...Show All

• SQL Server De-normalising query

  OK. I know this can be done with cursors but would like some pointers on if SQL 2005 provides any more elegant solutions. Basically I have 2 tables ... TableParent(ParentPK, ChildFK) TableChild(ChildPK, ChildValue) For each row in TableParent, TableChild may have up to say 5 rows. I need to transform this into a table containing at most the first 3 ChildValues (ordered by ChildPK) of the form ChildValue1 Childvalue2 ChildValue3 Any tips on how this could be achieved by a more efficient means than cursors Thanks, Greg. You can do below in SQL Server 2005: select pt.Parent_PK, [1] as ChildValue1, [ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Autoscroll

  When I use AutoScroll, scrollbars never show up if the controls are outside of the container to the left or top of it, only to the right or bottom. How do I fix this Funny, this is just the behaviour that I would expect, but you are right: ScrollableControl could indeed correct for negative values and move its children accordingly. Why don't you just do the math yourself 1. Find the top-left child control in the panel and store its offset. 2. Subtract that offset from all child control's positions. The top-left control will now be located at (0,0) and all other controls will have moved the same amount. Hop ...Show All

• Visual Basic Troubles with my combobox and the split method

  I have this declaration: Private sEsper As String() = Split(My.Resources.Espers, vbCrLf) And this usage: _Esper.Items.AddRange(sEsper) The problem is that it adds two sets of sEsper to the combobox _Esper. If I comment out the usage line then the box has no items. I cannot figure this out. Why is it adding two sets of sEsper Hi, I think for some reasons Terra form was loaded twice. I tried your code and _new form was loaded just once after this statement _new.Visible = True so maybe I'm missing something. I would suggest adding a breakpoint to If _Esper.Items.Count = 0 Then _Esper.Items.AddRange(sEsper) and see how many ti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adequacy of web tests at HTTP layer rather than UI?

  I'm curious as to how MS justifies testing at the HTTP request/response level rather than at the UI for web applications. It's easy to see how this form of web testing could be developed "on the cheap" by building on WAST/ACT, but as far as I'm concerned this testing provides no confidence that a user can use the app. For instance, should form input fields (text, lists, etc) or submit buttons be disabled, the web test won't notice -- especially if they got this way via JScript which you have no support for. The web test will post the request (simulating the submit button having been clicked) with all of the necessary parameters ev ...Show All
