I have a custom solution that needs to:
1. Enumerate all web applications that it's deployed to
2. Figure out the Shared Services provider that each of the web applications is associated with
3. Access a Business Data Catalog installed on the SSP to retrieve some data
4. Enumerate through all site collections in those web applications
5. Perform various tasks within the site collections according to the data
I got points 1, 3, 4 and 5 figured out, but 2 is somewhat troublesome. I want to avoid hardcoding the SSP name anywhere and not require the farm administrator to manually edit a configuration file.

I am in the process of creating an ASP.NET custom control, this is something that is still relatively new to me, so please bear with me.
I am thinking about the event model. Since we are not using Web Controls there are no events being fired from buttons, rather I am manually calling **__doPostBack** with the appropriate arguments. However this can obviously mean that there are a lot of postbacks occuring when say, selecting options (which render differently when selected).
In time, I will need to make this more Ajax-y and responsive, so I will need to change the event binding to call local Javascript.
So, I was thinking I should be able to toggle the "mode" of the control, it can either use postback and handlle itself, or you can specify the Javascript function names to call instead of the doPostBack.
* What are your thoughts on this?
* Am I approaching the raising of the events from the control in the wrong way? (totally open to suggestions here!)
* How would you approach a similar problem? | asp.net | subjective | events | custom-server-controls | null | null | open | ASP.NET Custom Controls and "Dynamic" Event Model

Here's the query (simplified version) before the fix:
select PTNO,PTNM,CATCD
from PARTS
left join CATEGORIES on (CATEGORIES.CATCD=PARTS.CATCD);
and here it is after the fix:
select PTNO,PTNM,PARTS.CATCD
from PARTS
left join CATEGORIES on (CATEGORIES.CATCD=PARTS.CATCD);
The bug was, that null values were being shown for column CATCD, i.e. the query results included results from table CATEGORIES instead of PARTS.
Here's what I don't understand: if there was ambiguity in the original query, why didn't Oracle throw an error? As far as I understood, in the case of left joins, the "main" table in the query (PARTS) has precedence in ambiguity.
Am I wrong, or just not thinking about this problem correctly?

Which looks wrong to me in various levels (how can SQL Server distinguish between commas to separate arguments and commas belonging to a floating point number?).
So, the code seems to be grabbing the spanish locale from somewhere, I don't know if it's the user it runs as, or someplace else (global policy, maybe?). But the question is

Context:
I'm in charge of running a service written in .NET. Proprietary application. It uses a SQL Server database. It ran as a user member of the Administrators group in the local machine. It worked alright before I added the machine to a domain.
So, I added the machine to a domain (Win 2003) and changed the user to a member of the Power Users group and now, the
Problem:
Some of the SQL sentences it tries to execute are "magically" in spanish localization (where , separates floating point numbers instead of .), leading to errors.

> VALUES clause. The number of values in

Operating System and Regional Settings in the machine are in English. I asked the provider of the application and he said:

> Error 1450 (`ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES`): "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."
All the documentation we've found suggests it is linked to the number of **Free System Page Table Entries** running out. We have 16GB RAM in these machines and use the `/3GB` Operating System switch to squeeze the Windows kernel into 1GB and allow our processes access to 3GB of address space. This drastically reduces the total number of Free System Page Table Entries, so combined with our heavy use of MapViewOfFile() it is perhaps not surprising that the kernel page table entries are running out.
However, when using Performance Monitor to view the Free System Page Table Entries counter, the value is around 36,000 on reboot and **doesn't go down when our application starts**. I find it hard to believe that our application, which opens many large memory-mapped files, doesn't have any effect on the kernel page table. If we can't believe the counter, it's much more difficult to test the effect of any system changes we make.
There is a promising Knowledge Base article, [The Performance tool does not accurately show the available Free System Page Table entries in Windows Server 2003](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894067), but it says the problem has been fixed in Service Pack 1, and we are already on Service Pack 2.

- How to "get over" ASCII once and for all
- Fundamental guidance when working with Unicode.
- Recommended (recent) books and websites on Unicode (for developers).
- Current state of Unicode (5 years after Joels article)
- Future directions.
I must admit I have a .NET background and so would also be happy for information on Unicode in the .NET framework. Of course this shouldn't stop anyone with a differing background from commenting though.

This way I did not have to maintain an automated unit testing test database, I could just fake it.
But now I am starting to think of it differently. I am wondering if Mocks are more effective used to completely isolate the tested method from anything outside of itself. The image that keeps coming to mind is the backdrop you use when painting. You want to keep the paint from getting all over everything. I am only testing that method, and I only want to know how it reacts to these faked up external factors?
It seems incredibly tedious to do it this way but the advantage I am seeing is when the test fails it is because it is screwed up and not 16 layers down. But now I have to have 16 tests to get the same testing coverage because each piece would be tested in isolation. Plus each test becomes more complicated and more deeply tied to the method it is testing.

What I'm after is basically pointing the application at an assembly and choosing a given class from which to select properties that should be included in an exported HTML form as fields. That form will be then used in my ASP.NET MVC app as the beginning of a View.
As I'm using Subsonic objects for the applications where I want to use, this should be reasonable and I figured that, by wanting to include things like differing output HTML depending on data type, Reflection was the way to get this done.
What I'm looking for, however, seems to be elusive. I'm trying to take the DLL/EXE that's chosen through the OpenFileDialog as the starting point and load it:
String FilePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(FileName);
System.Reflection.Assembly o = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(FileName);
That works fine, but because Subsonic-generated objects actually are full of object types that are defined in Subsonic.dll, etc., those dependent objects aren't loaded. Enter:
AssemblyName[] ReferencedAssemblies = o.GetReferencedAssemblies();
That, too, contains exactly what I would expect it to. However, what I'm trying to figure out is how to load those assemblies so that my digging into my objects will work properly. I understand that if those assemblies were in the GAC or in the directory of the running executable, I could just load them by their name, but that isn't likely to be the case for this use case and it's my primary use case.
So, what it boils down to is how do I load a given assembly and all of its arbitrary assemblies starting with a filename and resulting in a completely Reflection-browsable tree of types, properties, methods, etc.
I know that tools like Reflector do this, I just can't find the syntax for getting at it. | c# | .net | reflection | subsonic | null | null | open | How Do I Load an Assembly and All of its Dependencies at Runtime in C# for Reflection?

Sometimes, one of the DDL statements might fail and if it does, I want to roll back all the changes. I wrap the update in a transaction like so:
BEGIN TRAN;
CREATE TABLE A (PKey int NOT NULL IDENTITY, NewFieldKey int NULL, CONSTRAINT PK_A PRIMARY KEY (PKey));
CREATE INDEX A_2 ON A (NewFieldKey);
CREATE TABLE B (PKey int NOT NULL IDENTITY, CONSTRAINT PK_B PRIMARY KEY (PKey));
ALTER TABLE A ADD CONSTRAINT FK_B_A FOREIGN KEY (NewFieldKey) REFERENCES B (PKey);
COMMIT TRAN;
As we're executing, if one of the statements fail, I do a ROLLBACK instead of a COMMIT. This works great on SQL Server, but doesn't have the desired effect on Oracle. Oracle seems to do an implicit COMMIT after each DDL statement:

- [http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/fcdb/oracle/or-nonstandard.html#transactions][2]
Is there *any* way to turn off this implicit commit?

He argued this design was more efficient and flexible. I can maybe see it being more flexible, but I have no idea about efficiency. And, even if it is, I think those gains may be outweighed by the added complexity.
