• .NET Development Connection pool size issue

  Hi, I have a question about ADO.Net's way of handling connections. My server app uses ADO.Net to connect to SQL Server to server clients' calls. Some times I get error message that says that I may run out of connections in the pool and I should consider exband the size of the connection pool (not the exact words). I am a little confused by this error because, to my knowlege, the connection pooling is by defualt set to a certain size. If all the connections in the pool are taken and when a new connection is requested, ADO will automaticly increase the pool size, isn't it If so, why do I get the error message If not, what should I do to avo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remove temp

  Is there any automatic procedure to remove temp directory fromm vss databases I have the same request. We have two sourcesafe databases which support about 30 users. Currently there are about 1.2 GB of files in the temp directories. The VSS docs say you should clean out the temp directories when no one is logged on. But that's a rare occurrence for us, and it would be nice if there was a way of having the temp files deleted periodically. It would be even nicer if VSS cleaned up after itself, but that's probably not going to happen. alb52 ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2005 ColeDatetime::Format("%Y-%m-%d") generates error when date is prior to 1899-12-30

  ...though it is stated that ColeDatetime supports years from 100 to 9999. VS2003 has no such problem. The cause is in the CRT _expandtime function (strftime.c) which has following code.

• SQL Server Oracle support and Report Builder

  Can anyone confirm whether Oracle support for Report Builder will be in SSRS 2005/SP1 I think a long time (6-7 months) ago this was kicked around as a possibility, but as far as I know there are currently no plans to include direct access to Oracle via Report Builder in SP1. You could do this by using a UDM/Cube in SSAS (which points to Oracle) or linking Oracle tables into SQL, though... ...Show All

• Visual C# cannot toggle between two forms

Now I am trying to toggle between two forms of one application (WindowsApplication2). It starts out as Form1. By clicking on a linkLabel control I close Form1 and start Form2. The Form1 becomes invisible. Then I want to go back to Form1 and perhaps a few times back and forth. The following code gives me a compile time error and I do not understand how to handle it.
