• SQL Server After Transaction Log Grows, it won't shrink.

  The other day I had someone truncate an extremely large transaction log (100GB) but it wouldn't return the space to the OS, not even after a backup and restore operation. There’s an interesting bit of trivia around shrinking this file. When the log file is truncated, you may not see all of the space returned to the OS. The reason is the way the data might be spread. Here’s the way we think data looks in the log file: <BeginFile>xx ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabPages and UserControls growing to over 30,000 pixels in Width and Height in Designer (2005 beta 2)

  I’m having some major sizing issues with controls in designer view. To be specific, it   seems that controls within container controls such as TabPages will randomly outgrow their parent controls to a very large size (~30,000px! ).   Even when trying to manually edit the designer code, as soon as switching back to design view, the weird numbers are back.
