Testing from Windows Live Writer

rennera — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 04:49:00 GMT

This is my first test post from windows live writer... pretty simple thus far.

This is a blurry picture...

XP_CMDSHELL

rennera — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 01:46:00 GMT

By default this is disabled in 2005.

To reenable it run the following:

USE master
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

ASP.NET Windows Explorer: Serialization Vs. System.IO

rennera — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 01:44:00 GMT

Call it stubbornness or simply curiousity... I was just not happy with a system io approach of loading a treeview with the folders in a specified directory with a file listing on the right. Even with a load on demand approach where you click a node and it then loads its folders and files seemed fairly slow to me.

I through a component together that builds a folder object with all folders and files... and can be serialized/deserialized to/from xml.

Now for the tests:

I decided to appease myself and see which was really faster...

System.IO or Serialization

1) First I timed the component alone to see how long it would take to load the object using system.io

Results:

- 8 Folders 25 Files loaded in an average of 546,903 Ticks (100 nanosecond intervals)

2) Second I timed the component to see how long it would take to load the same object by deserializing the xml file into the object

Results:

- 8 Folders 25 Files loaded in an average of 4,531,482 Ticks (100 nanosecond intervals)

I was quite surprised that the system.io was marginally faster then the deserialization. I decided to up the ante to a larger folder...

1) System.IO

Results:

- 1320 Folders 8318 Files loaded in an average of 39,064,500 Ticks (100 nanosecond intervals)

- Converted to seconds (3.90645 seconds)

2) Deserialization

Results:

- 1320 Folders 8318 Files loaded in an average of 6,198,234 Ticks (100 nanosecond intervals)

- Converted to seconds (0.6198234 seconds)

CONCLUSION:

The thing to notice here is the marginal increase in time to load the object when deserializing. The increase was equivalent to 0.15 seconds... while System.IO was very fast for small folders when the numbers increased the time required to load the object also did exponentially.

SQL Server SP1: SSIS Service Failure : Resolution

rennera — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 16:25:00 GMT

After installing SP1 for SQL Server 2005 SSIS Integration Services fails.

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Below is all the information you will need to fix the issue.

SqlDataSource uniqueidentifier Parameter

rennera — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 17:53:00 GMT

UniqueIdentifier parameters by default are coded like this

<asp:Parameter Name="Original_EventID" Type="Object" />

The problem is that this cause the following error:

Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to uniqueidentifier is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

To correct this simply remove the Type so it looks like this:

<asp:Parameter Name="Original_EventID" />

ReportingServices: Accessing SubObject Property

rennera — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 19:49:00 GMT

For example: To access the name property of the child class:

=First(Fields!child.Value.name, "iInvoice_Customer")

Or the address2 property of the address class

=First(Fields!address.value.address2, "iInvoice_Customer")

Or the name property of the object itself

=" To: " & First(Fields!name.Value, "iInvoice_Customer")

As you can see this customer object contains :

Name - Property

Address - Object

Child - Object

CodeRush: iEditable Smart Paste Template

rennera — Wed, 10 May 2006 19:50:00 GMT

This template is used to paste properties compatible with the iEditable interface.

Create a new smart paste template
Set the match with property to:
[code language="VB.NET"]%ws1%%Accessibility%?%SharedModifier1%?%FieldVarPrefix1%%PartialIdentifier1%%mws%%As1%%Type1%(%ws2%?=%ws3%?%IdentifierStringOrNumber%)? %EndOfLineComment%?[/code]
Set the replacement text to the following
[code language="VB.NET"]

Public Property %SharedModifier1% %PartialIdentifier1% %As1% %Type1%
Get
    Return «Marker(60)»%FieldVarPrefix1%%PartialIdentifier1%
End Get
Set
    «Cursor»If Not %FieldVarPrefix1%%PartialIdentifier1%.Equals(Value) Then
If Me.InEdit Then
            SaveState("%PartialIdentifier1%", %FieldVarPrefix1%%PartialIdentifier1%, value)
End If
        %FieldVarPrefix1%%PartialIdentifier1% = Value
        OnPropertyChanged("%PartialIdentifier1%")
     End If«BlockAnchor»
End Set
End Property [/code]
Set the rest of the properties the same as Property(PrefixedField)

Example:

[code language="VB.NET"]
   Private _id As String
   Private _name As String
   Private _salary As Decimal

   Public Property id() As String
      Get
         Return _id
      End Get
      Set(ByVal value As String)
         If Not _id.Equals(Value) Then
            If Me.InEdit Then
               SaveState("id", _id, value)
            End If
            _id = Value
            OnPropertyChanged("id")
         End If
      End Set
   End Property
   Public Property name() As String
      Get
         Return _name
      End Get
      Set(ByVal value As String)
         If Not _name.Equals(Value) Then
            If Me.InEdit Then
               SaveState("name", _name, value)
            End If
            _name = Value
            OnPropertyChanged("name")
         End If
      End Set
   End Property
   Public Property salary() As Decimal
      Get
         Return _salary
      End Get
      Set(ByVal value As Decimal)
         If Not _salary.Equals(Value) Then
            If Me.InEdit Then
               SaveState("salary", _salary, value)
            End If
            _salary = Value
            OnPropertyChanged("salary")
         End If
      End Set
   End Property

Inserting Identity Value

rennera — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 23:58:00 GMT

Ever have a table where you need to insert a value into an identity field.

For example - you may have a lookup table with values 2, 3, 4 - I don't know about you but it annoys me to no end when the 1 value is missing. You could truncate the table and re-insert all the values... but this is assuming there is no foreign keys...

Here is a way you can actually insert the Identity ID value:

[code language="T-SQL"]SET IDENTITY_INSERT membership.maritalstatus ON
INSERT membership.maritalstatus (MaritalStatusID,[Name]) VALUES(2, 'Married')
SET IDENTITY_INSERT membership.maritalstatus OFF
SELECT * FROM membership.maritalstatus[/code]

If you need to check the identity colum

[code language="T-SQL"]DBCC CHECKIDENT('membership.maritalstatus')
[/code]

If you need to reseed the identity column

[code language="T-SQL"]
DBCC CHECKIDENT('membership.maritalstatus', RESEED, 2)
Insert membership.maritalstatus ([name]) Values ('Married')[/code]

Solution Configurations Drop Down Toolbar: Release/Debug

rennera — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 17:18:00 GMT

I had a case today where my solution configurations drop down box in the toolbar disappeared so I could only switch from debug/release in the config menu which is like a 3 step process to get to.

Here is how to get it back:

Switch to Commands tab.
Click Rearrange Commands.
Choose toolbar - Standard.
Click Add.
Select Build under Categories.
Select Solution Configurations under Commands.
Click Ok.
Use the Move Up or Move Down buttons to get it where you want it to appear.

Debugging Community Server 2.0 with VS 2005 and Web Application Projects

rennera — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 17:16:00 GMT

Download the source http://communityserver.com/files/40/releases/default.aspx
Download the latest release of Web Application Projects http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/infrastructure/wap/default.aspx
Download the VS 2005 Update to support Web Application Projects http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B05EE00-9554-4733-8725-3CA89DD9BFCA&displaylang=en
Install the VS 2005 Update
Install the Web Application Projects
Load the solution <path>\CS_2.0.60217.2664_SDK\src\Community Server 20.sln
Right click on the CommunityServerWeb20 project and click unload project
Right click on the same project again and click Edit CommunityServerWeb20.csproj
Change the following line from

<ProjectType>Local</ProjectType>

to
<ProjectTypeGuids>{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>

From: Scott Gu's site
This instructs VS 2005 to treat this project not as a regular class library project, but rather as a VS 2005 Web Application Project (this will cause the web-items to by added to your new item dialog, support running the application using the built-in VS web-server or IIS, and enable auto-attaching to web-servers for debug scenarios among other things).
Close the opened project file and click save
Right click the same project again and click reload project
Right click the same project again and click Properties
You should now notice a WEB option on the left side
Set the start page option to current page (this allows you to hit F5 on any page and it will start there)
Set the servers options to Use IIS Web Server
Set the starting URL to http://localhost/community or whatever your url maybe in IIS (you have to put the http:// in or it will fail)
Leave the debuggers section unchanged (ASP.NET)
Save changes (Almost Done)
Right click the same project again and click Set as startup project
Open the web.config file
1. Change the compilation debug setting from false to true
  <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true" />
Last Step: open IIS and go to your website/virtual directory
1. Click the directory security tab
2. Click the Edit button under Anonymous Access and Authentication Control
3. Check the check box at the bottom for Integrated Windows Authentication

NOTE: Be sure that IIS is pointing to your source (SDK) web directory

NOTE 2: If you find debugging to be slow... change your compilation options and tell VS not to rebuild the entire solution every time. This will significantly speed things up. Just be sure to rebuild the projects that you change.

To do this:

Right Click on the solution
Click Configuration Manager
Choose debug as the Active Solution Configuration
In the build column only leave the projects checked that you want to build everytime you hit F5
Click Close

ISA Server Upgraded

rennera — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 07:22:00 GMT

What should have been a smooth upgrade ran into a few hitches/gotchas turning the upgrade and testing into nearly a 4 hour affair.

Hopefully this post will find someone that needs it and helps them resolve some of their issues.

My ISA Server is used with multiple SSL certificates. One is specifically for OWA and handles the authentication. The others are for secure websites.

My process:

Install Windows 2003
Apply patches
Install Certificates
Setup Network Cards
1. One Internal Card
  1. Client for MS Networks
  2. File and Print Sharing
  3. TCP IP
  4. NO Gateway specified - you want to terminate all internal connections
  5. Register address in DNS UNCHECKED
  6. append a bogus DNS suffix
  7. WINS Netbios - Default
  8. Enable LMHOSTS UNCHECKED
2. One External Card with the gateway and external dns entries
  1. TCP IP
  2. Fill all settings - ip/gateway/subnet/dns
  3. Register address in DNS UNCHECKED
  4. append a bogus DNS suffix
  5. WINS Netbios - Disabled
  6. Enable LMHOSTS UNCHECKED
Install ISA Server
Install ISA Server SP1
Install ISA Server SP2
Import ISA Settings
Select SSL certificates associated with secure listeners

Issue # 1:

ISA not recognizing my Certificates.

Resolution:

Remove certificates from the server
Local Computer Certificates
1. Import OWA certificate into Trusted Root (top level and subclass) and Personal
2. Import other certificates into Personal (pfx files)
Select the certificates on the appropriate web listeners

Issue # 2:

ISA was resolving FQDN internal addresses to my external IP Address but non FQDN internally.

Resolution:

Control Panel-->Network Connections -->Advanced Settings
Adapters and Bindings Tab
Be sure that the internal network connection is listed above external

NOTE: It will help you immensely if you name your network cards internal/external.

Thanks for the assistance Dan.

The proper way to install ISA and restore your settings is in the following order:

Install Windows 2003
Apply patches
Setup Network Cards

One Internal Card

Client for MS Networks
File and Print Sharing
TCP IP
NO Gateway specified - you want to terminate all internal connections
Register address in DNS UNCHECKED
append a bogus DNS suffix
WINS Netbios - Default
Enable LMHOSTS UNCHECKED

One External Card with the gateway and external dns entries

TCP IP
Fill all settings - ip/gateway/subnet/dns
Register address in DNS UNCHECKED
append a bogus DNS suffix
WINS Netbios - Disabled
Enable LMHOSTS UNCHECKED

Install ISA Server
Install ISA Server SP1
Install ISA Server SP2
Install Certificates
1. Import PFX certificates as exportable into personal
2. Import CRT or CER files into Trusted Root
Import ISA Settings
Select SSL certificates associated with secure listeners
Apply Settings
Ensure that Adapters and Bindings use the internal connection as the primary (top) source
Optional. Reboot

Asterisk@Home

rennera — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 00:06:00 GMT

From one installation to the next...

Switching gears for an evening and going to move my ASTERISK server to the production VS.

Using asterisk@home on CentOS 4.2 as my voip server.

http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net/

The setup is fairly simple thus far...

Download the iso
Burn it to CD
Install on the virtual machine
Once up and running login as root/password
Type passwd root to change your root password
type netconfig to set your ipaddress and gateway etc.
type reboot to restart the server

At this point your asterisk server should be accessible from your network via the web interface.

http://<ipaddress>

Once the server reboots you need to install updates on the operating system.

Type yum -y updates

The server will go out to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/repodata/ and update itself with all available updates.

6. Store the file in a safe location
Invoke the following webservice http://localhost:8080/services/v1.0/Registration.asmx
1. Verify that <Type>vstfs</Type> exists
Install Team Build on the TFS Server or any other server
Install Team Explorer on administrators machine

TFS: Progress

rennera — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 06:38:00 GMT

Trying to decide on the two server/one server installation... kinda late so I think I'll sleep on that one. I don't really need the two server config but I already have the sql server running so I may as well take advantage of it. Documentation states that the single server install is good enough for up to 50 users and two server up to 250 users.

Anyway - the server is up and running with AV installed and all patches installed. While I am doing all this server work... I figured it would be a good time to upgrade my Firewall as well. Due to limitations of the current mother board I will be doing a complete disaster recovery. I have installed the OS now it is a matter of moving all certificates and settings.

Benefits of Upgrade:

Processor from 550MHz to 733MHz
Ram from 1GB to 2GB
Internal Network interface from 100MB to 1000MB

I think those are good enough reason to upgrade...
