• .NET Development SQL Cache invalidation across server farms

  Hello, I plan to cache our user objects (and maybe some others) on our system. We have a large web farm and users are "stuck" to a web server for the duration of the session by the load balancer. My questions are surrounding SQL Cache invalidation. Firstly, from what I have read so far, you can set it up for one or more tables in a database. Does that mean that if one user's data changes it will invalidate EVERY user object in th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions libc.lib

  Does anyone know what replaced libc.lib An SDK i purchased requires libc.lib but I would like to use VC++ 2005 Express edition to program with, and I must link to libc.lib. What lib / libs have replaced libc You can not replace LIBC! There is no longer a single theraded CRT support in VC 2005.  You have to recompile the sources and use the multithreading CRT!

• SQL Server Database recovery freezing server?

  I'm currently running Windows Server 2003 and just recently installed SQL 2005. I had a few databases that I was attaching from the old SQL 2000 server. I encountered a hard error and when I restarted Management studio, I found 4 of my databases were in recovery. Thinking this would be a short process, I let it run and did work on one of my other machines. Nearly 2 hours later, the databases are still in recovery and nothing appears to have chan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Frequent incorrect build results - projects skipped that are out of date

  Re-posting here at the suggestion of the Team System folks... The below was observed using Visual Studio Team Suite 2005 RC version. I have a solution with 17 C# projects - two .EXEs and the rest DLLs, including a number of unit test projects.

  Hello, I've tried searching and searching, but I've had no real luck.

• SQL Server Tool from SQL 2000, Missing in SQL 2005?

  My favorite tool ever in SQL 2000 was a little utility, a front end if you will for querying the system tables. It was under the tools menu and if you typed say 'account', you could find all objects containing the name 'account'- stored procs, tables, columns, etc. A GREAT little tool that few people seemed to use. Now I have 2K5, can't remember its proper name to google it by, and can't seem to find it anywhere, though I suspect it is burried s ...Show All
