I believe that once the .NET Framework has been installed, extra information is passed to a web server as part of a web request signifying that the framework is available.

From the UI perspective, the DataContext is a design of the sections of your database that you would like to expose to through LinqToSql and is integral in setting up the ORM features of LinqToSql.\n\n\nMy question is: I am setting up a project that uses a large database where all tables are interconnected in some way through Foreign Keys. My first inclination is to make one huge DataContext class that models the entire database. That way I could in theory (though I don't know if this would be needed in practice) use the Foreign Key connections that are generated through LinqToSql to easily go between related objects in my code, insert related objects, etc.\n\n\nHowever, after giving it some thought, I am now thinking that it may make more sense to create multiple DataContext classes, each one relating to a specific namespace or logical interrelated section within my database. My main concern is that instantiating and disposing one huge DataContext class all the time for individual operations that relate to specific areas of the Database would be impose an unnecessary imposition on application resources. Additionally, it is easier to create and manage smaller DataContext files than one big one. The thing that I would lose is that there would be some distant sections of the database that would not be navigable through LinqToSql (even though a chain of relationships connects them in the actual database). Additionally, there would be some table classes that would exist in more than one DataContext.\n\n\nAny thoughts or experience on whether multiple DataContexts (corresponding to DB namespaces) are appropriate in place of (or in addition to) one very large DataContext class (corresponding to the whole DB)?\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_568","stackoverflow_Passage_860","stackoverflow_Passage_1610","stackoverflow_Passage_5309","stackoverflow_Passage_8314","stackoverflow_Passage_476497"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

{"qid":"stackoverflow_Query_918","query":"Replicating load related crashes in non-production environments | We're running a custom application on our intranet and we have found a problem after upgrading it recently where IIS hangs with 100% CPU usage, requiring a reset.\n\n\nRather than subject users to the hangs, we've rolled back to the previous release while we determine a solution. The first step is to reproduce the problem -- but we can't. \n\n\nHere's some background:\n\n\nProd has a single virtualized (vmware) web server with two CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. The database server has 4GB, and 2 CPUs as well. It's also on VMWare, but separate physical hardware.\n\n\nDuring normal usage the application runs fine. The w3wp.exe process normally uses betwen 5-20% CPU and around 200MB of RAM. CPU and RAM fluctuate slightly under normal use, but nothing unusual.\n\n\nHowever, when we start running into problems, the RAM climbs dramatically and the CPU pegs at 98% (or as much as it can get). The site becomes unresponsive, necessitating a IIS restart. Resetting the app pool does nothing in this situation, a full IIS restart is required.\n\n\nIt does not happen during the night (no usage). It happens more when the site is under load, but it has also happened under non-peak periods.\n\n\nFirst step to solving this problem is reproducing it. To simulate the load, we starting using JMeter to simulate usage. Our load script is based on actual usage around the time of the crash. Using JMeter, we can ramp the usage up quite high (2-3 times the load during the crash) but the site behaves fine. CPU is up high, and the site does become sluggish, but memory usage is reasonable and nothing is hanging.\n\n\nDoes anyone have any tips on how to reproduce a problem like this in a non-production environment? We'd really like to reproduce the error, determine a solution, then test again to make sure we've resolved it. During the process we've found a number of small things that we've improved that might solve the problem, but I'd really feel a lot more confident if we could reproduce the problem and test the improved version.\n\n\nAny tools, techniques or theories much appreciated!\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_3144","stackoverflow_Passage_3145","stackoverflow_Passage_3154"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

{"qid":"stackoverflow_Query_1134","query":"Inheritance and Polymorphism - Ease of use vs Purity | In a project our team is using object lists to perform mass operations on sets of data that should all be processed in a similar way. In particular, different objects would ideally act the same, which would be very easily achieved with polymorphism. The problem I have with it is that inheritance implies the *is a* relationship, rather than the *has a* relationship. For example, several objects *have a* damage counter, but to make this easy to use in an object list, polymorphism could be used - except that would imply an *is a* relationship which wouldn't be true. (A person *is not a* damage counter.)\n\n\nThe only solution I can think of is to have a member of the class return the proper object type when implicitly casted instead of relying on inheritance. Would it be better to forgo the *is a* \/ *has a* ideal in exchange for ease of programming?\n\n\nEdit:\nTo be more specific, I am using C++, so using polymorphism would allow the different objects to \"act the same\" in the sense that the derived classes could reside within a single list and be operated upon by a virtual function of the base class.

The existence of a running copy of `SQL Server 6.5` in 2008 is absurd.\n\n\nThat stipulated, what is the best way to migrate from `6.5` to `2005`? Is there any direct path? Most of the documentation I've found deals with upgrading `6.5` to `7`.\n\n\nShould I forget about the native `SQL Server` upgrade utilities, script out all of the objects and data, and try to recreate from scratch?\n\n\nI was going to attempt the upgrade this weekend, but server issues pushed it back till next. So, any ideas would be welcomed during the course of the week.\n\n\n*Update. This is how I ended up doing it:*\n\n\n* Back up the database in question and Master on `6.5`.\n* Execute `SQL Server 2000`'s `instcat.sql` against `6.5`'s Master. This allows `SQL Server 2000`'s OLEDB provider to connect to `6.5`.\n* Use `SQL Server 2000`'s standalone `\"Import and Export Data\"` to create a DTS package, using `OLEDB` to connect to 6.5. This successfully copied all `6.5`'s tables to a new `2005` database (also using `OLEDB`).\n* Use `6.5`'s Enterprise Manager to script out all of the database's indexes and triggers to a .sql file.\n* Execute that .sql file against the new copy of the database, in 2005's Management Studio.\n* Use 6.5's Enterprise Manager to script out all of the stored procedures.\n* Execute that `.sql` file against the `2005` database. Several dozen sprocs had issues making them incompatible with `2005`. Mainly `non-ANSI joins` and `quoted identifier issues`.\n* Corrected all of those issues and re-executed the `.sql` file.\n* Recreated the `6.5`'s logins in `2005` and gave them appropriate permissions.\n\n\nThere was a bit of rinse\/repeat when correcting the stored procedures (there were hundreds of them to correct), but the upgrade went great otherwise.\n\n\nBeing able to use Management Studio instead of `Query Analyzer` and `Enterprise Manager 6.5` is such an amazing difference. A few report queries that took 20-30 seconds on the `6.5 database` are now running in 1-2 seconds, without any modification, new indexes, or anything.

And I'm not talking using .NET with a Mono or Wine virtual platform running beneath.\n\n\nOur company has about 20 developers all running Windows XP\/Vista and developing primarily for Linux & Solaris. Until recently we all logged into a main Linux server and modified\/built code the good old fashioned way: Emacs, Vi, dtpad - take your pick. Then someone said, \"hey - we're living in the Dark Ages, we should be using an IDE\".\n\n\nSo we tried out a few and decided that Visual Studio was the only one that would meet our performance needs (yes, I'm sure that IDE X is a very nice IDE, but we chose VS).\n\n\nThe problem is, how do you setup your environment to have the files available locally to VS, but also available to a build server? We settled with writing a Visual Studio plugin - it writes our files locally and to the build server whenever we hit \"Save\" and we have a bit fat \"sync\" button that we can push when our files change on the server side (for when we update to the latest files from our source control server). \n\n\nThe plugin also uses Visual Studio's external build system feature that ultimately just ssh's into the build server and calls our local \"make\" utility (which is Boost Build v2 - has great dependency checking, but is *really* slow to start as a result i.e. 30-60 seconds to begin). The results are piped back into Visual Studio so the developer can click on the error and be taken to the appropriate line of code (quite slick actually). The build server uses GCC and cross-compiles all of our Solaris builds.\n\n\nBut even after we've done all this, I can't help but sigh whenever I start to write code in Visual Studio.

A click or move on the screen is still considered a \"Mouse\" event. It was done this way so that code could port over from full Windows easily. And this is not a Windows Mobile specific issue. The TextBox control on Windows does not have native mouse events either. I just happened to be using Windows Mobile in this case.\n\n\nEdit: And on a side note...as Windows Mobile is built of the WindowsCE core which is often used for embedded desktop systems and Slim Terminal Services clients or \"WinTerms\" it has support for a hardware mouse and has for a long time.

It is, however, overridden (and changed to private I believe) in the TextBox class. So it will not show up in IntelliSense in Visual Studio.\n\n\nHowever, you actually can write the code:\n\n\n\n```\ntextBox1.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.textBox1_MouseDown);\n\n```\n\nand it will compile and run just fine, the only problem is that textBox1\\_MouseDown() will not be fired when you tap the TextBox control. I assume this is because of the Event being overridden internally. I don't even want to change what's happening on the event internally, I just want to add my own event handler to that event so I can fire some custom code as you could with any other event.\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_2488","stackoverflow_Passage_2492","stackoverflow_Passage_2498","stackoverflow_Passage_7692","stackoverflow_Passage_10469","stackoverflow_Passage_12584"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

I'm talking about large, high volume transactional applications deployed across multiple machines. Web applications, windows services, web services, b2b interaction, you name it.\n\n\nI have used OR Mappers. I have written a few. I have used the Java EE stack, CSLA, and a few other equivalents.

With my model, the developer assigned to find the problem opens *exactly 3 files*. An ASPX, an ASPX.CS and a SQL file with the stored procedure. The problem, which might be a missing parameter to the stored procedure call, takes minutes to solve. But with any entity model, you will invariably fire up the debugger, start stepping through code, and you may end up with 15-20 files open in Visual Studio. By the time you step down to the bottom of the stack, you forgot where you started. We can only keep so many things in our heads at one time. Software is incredibly complex without adding any unnecessary layers.\n\n\nDevelopment complexity and troubleshooting are just one side of my gripe.\n\n\nNow let's talk about scalability.\n\n\nDo developers realize that each and every time they write or modify any code that interacts with the database, they need to do a throrough analysis of the exact impact on the database? And not just the development copy, I mean a mimic of production, so you can see that the additional column you now require for your object just invalidated the current query plan and a report that was running in 1 second will now take 2 minutes, just because you added a single column to the select list? And it turns out that the index you now require is so big that the DBA is going to have to modify the physical layout of your files?\n\n\nIf you let people get too far away from the physical data store with an abstraction, they will create havoc with an application that needs to scale.\n\n\nI am not a zealot. I can be convinced if I am wrong, and maybe I am, since there is such a strong push towards Linq to Sql, ADO.NET EF, Hibernate, Java EE, etc. Please think through your responses, if I am missing something I really want to know what it is, and why I should change my thinking.\n\n\n***[Edit]***\n\n\nIt looks like this question is suddenly active again, so now that we have the new comment feature I have commented directly on several answers. Thanks for the replies, I think this is a healthy discussion.\n\n\nI probably should have been more clear that I am talking about enterprise applications. I really can't comment on, say, a game that's running on someone's desktop, or a mobile app.\n\n\nOne thing I have to put up here at the top in response to several similar answers: orthogonality and separation of concerns often get cited as reasons to go entity\/ORM. Stored procedures, to me, are the best example of separation of concerns that I can think of. If you disallow all other access to the database, other than via stored procedures, you could in theory redesign your entire data model and not break any code, so long as you maintained the inputs and outputs of the stored procedures. They are a perfect example of programming by contract (just so long as you avoid \"select \\*\" and document the result sets).\n\n\nAsk someone who's been in the industry for a long time and has worked with long-lived applications: how many application and UI layers have come and gone while a database has lived on? How hard is it to tune and refactor a database when there are 4 or 5 different persistence layers generating SQL to get at the data? You can't change anything! ORMs or any code that generates SQL ***lock your database in stone***.\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_6760","stackoverflow_Passage_6801","stackoverflow_Passage_6805","stackoverflow_Passage_6808","stackoverflow_Passage_6814","stackoverflow_Passage_6819","stackoverflow_Passage_6831","stackoverflow_Passage_6832","stackoverflow_Passage_6835","stackoverflow_Passage_6843","stackoverflow_Passage_6846","stackoverflow_Passage_6854","stackoverflow_Passage_6856","stackoverflow_Passage_7712","stackoverflow_Passage_7714","stackoverflow_Passage_9702","stackoverflow_Passage_9703","stackoverflow_Passage_9705","stackoverflow_Passage_9706","stackoverflow_Passage_9707","stackoverflow_Passage_10503","stackoverflow_Passage_11149","stackoverflow_Passage_11150","stackoverflow_Passage_11312","stackoverflow_Passage_11331","stackoverflow_Passage_11364","stackoverflow_Passage_11365","stackoverflow_Passage_11510","stackoverflow_Passage_11512","stackoverflow_Passage_11586","stackoverflow_Passage_11653","stackoverflow_Passage_11654","stackoverflow_Passage_11955","stackoverflow_Passage_12096","stackoverflow_Passage_12144","stackoverflow_Passage_12656","stackoverflow_Passage_12716","stackoverflow_Passage_13443","stackoverflow_Passage_185159","stackoverflow_Passage_433336","stackoverflow_Passage_748340"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

Which can often reflect badly on all of us.\n4. (Rob Cooper) Not so sure about the initial cost.. Yeah you can get started with Java or something at low cost, but for me, locally, the vast demand is for .NET developers, which can be costly getting up and running with. However, this is rapidly\/has not becoming the case with the amount of work put in by MS with releasing pretty damn good Express editions of their main development product line.\n5.

{"qid":"stackoverflow_Query_234","query":"Tracking state using ASP.NET AJAX \/ ICallbackEventHandler | I have a problem with maintaining state in an ASP.NET AJAX page. Short version: I need some way to update the page ViewState after an async callback has been made, to reflect any state changes the server made during the async call. \n\n\nThis seems to be a common problem, but I will describe my scenario to help explain:\n\n\nI have a grid-like control which has some JavaScript enhancements - namely, the ability to drag and drop columns and rows. When a column or row is dropped into a new position, an AJAX method is invoked to notify the control server-side and fire a corresponding server-side event (\"OnColumnMoved\" or \"OnRowMoved\").\n\n\nASP.NET AJAX calls, by default, send the entire page as the request. That way the page goes through a complete lifecycle, viewstate is persisted and the state of the control is restored before the RaiseCallbackEvent method is invoked.\n\n\nHowever, since the AJAX call does not update the page, the ViewState reflects the *original* state of the control, even after the column or row has been moved. So the second time a client-side action occurs, the AJAX request goes to the server and the page & control are built back up again to reflect the *first* state of the control, not the state after the first column or row was moved.\n\n\nThis problem extends to many implications. For example if we have a client-side\/AJAX action to add a new item to the grid, and then a row is dragged, the grid is built server-side with one less item than on the client-side.\n\n\nAnd finally & most seriously for my specific example, the actual data source object we are acting upon is stored in the page ViewState. That was a design decision to allow keeping a stateful copy of the manipulated data which can either be committed to DB after many manipulations or discarded if the user backs out. That is very difficult to change.\n\n\nSo, again, I need a way for the page ViewState to be updated on callback after the AJAX method is fired.\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_645","stackoverflow_Passage_653","stackoverflow_Passage_1486","stackoverflow_Passage_1712","stackoverflow_Passage_1720","stackoverflow_Passage_4909"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

Found that there's a WebForms tab that shows the values in the web form. Wouldn't you know it, the \"`xxx_DISPLAYED_`\" fields above were in it. \n\n\nI don't really understand yet why these fields exist, because I didn't create them explicitly in the web `PLSQL` code. But I do understand now that the target procedure has to include them as parameters to work correctly. Again, this is only in the case of `IE6` for me, as Firefox worked fine.\n\n\nWell, that the short term answer and hack to fix it.

This forces you to test strongly before you ship, and makes bugs more visible, thus easier to spot and fix.\n\n\nWhat's your opinion\/experience?\n\n\nSee related question [here](https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/419406\/are-assertions-good)\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\n**Responses and Updates**\n\n\n\n> \n> An assertion is error, pure and simple and therefore should be handled like one.\n> Since an error should be handled in release mode then you don't really need assertions.\n> \n> \n> \n\n\nThat's why I prefer the word \"bug\" when talking about assertions. It makes things much clearer. To me, the word \"error\" is too vague. A missing file is an error, not a bug, and the program should deal with it. Trying to dereference a null pointer is a bug, and the program should acknowledge that something smells like bad cheese.\n\n\nHence, you should test the pointer with an assertion, but the presence of the file with normal error-handling code.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\nSlight off-topic, but an important point in the discussion.\n\n\nAs a heads-up, if your assertions break into the debugger when they fail, why not. But there are plenty of reasons a file could not exist that are completely outside of the control of your code: read\/write rights, disk full, USB device unplugged, etc. Since you don't have control over it, I feel assertions are not the right way to deal with that.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\nYes, I have Code Complete, and must say I strongly disagree with that particular advice.\n\n\nSay your custom memory allocator screws up, and zeroes a chunk of memory that is still used by some other object. I happens to zero a pointer that this object dereferences regularly, and one of the invariants is that this pointer is never null, and you have a couple of assertions to make sure it stays that way. What do you do if the pointer suddenly is null. You just if() around it, hoping that it works?\n\n\nRemember, we're talking about product code here, so there's no breaking into the debugger and inspecting the local state. This is a real bug on the user's machine.\n\n\n","answer_pids":["stackoverflow_Passage_6416","stackoverflow_Passage_6424","stackoverflow_Passage_6426","stackoverflow_Passage_6427","stackoverflow_Passage_6431","stackoverflow_Passage_6465","stackoverflow_Passage_6468","stackoverflow_Passage_6484","stackoverflow_Passage_11467","stackoverflow_Passage_11696","stackoverflow_Passage_13372","stackoverflow_Passage_239584","stackoverflow_Passage_365472","stackoverflow_Passage_404117","stackoverflow_Passage_414338","stackoverflow_Passage_511303","stackoverflow_Passage_1016644"],"dataset":"stackoverflow"}

However, this doesn't fit the bill for primitives (AFAIK) because they do not all have a common ground (apart from *object* before someone says! :P).\n\n\nSo, my current thoughts are to just grit my teeth and do a big *switch* statement and throw an *ArgumentException* on failure.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\n**EDIT 1:**\n\n\nJust to clarify:\n\n\nThe code definition should be like this:\n\n\n\n```\npublic class MyClass<GenericType> ....\n\n```\n\nAnd instantiation:\n\n\n\n```\nMyClass<bool> = new MyClass<bool>(); \/\/ Legal\nMyClass<string> = new MyClass<string>(); \/\/ Legal\nMyClass<DataSet> = new MyClass<DataSet>(); \/\/ Illegal\nMyClass<RobsFunkyHat> = new MyClass<RobsFunkyHat>(); \/\/ Illegal (but looks awesome!)\n\n```\n\n\n\n---\n\n\n**EDIT 2**\n\n\n@Jon Limjap - Good point, and something I was already considering. I'm sure there is a generic method that can be used to determine if the type is of a value or reference type.\n\n\nThis could be useful in instantly removing a lot of the objects I don't want to deal with (but then you need to worry about the structs that are used such as *Size* ). Interesting problem no? :)\n\n\nHere it is:\n\n\n\n```\nwhere T: struct\n\n```\n\nTaken from [MSDN](http:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/d5x73970.aspx).\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\nI'm curious. Could this be done in .NET 3.x using extension methods? Create an interface, and implement the interface in the extension methods (which would probably be cleaner than a bit fat switch). Plus if you then need to later extend to any lightweight custom types, they can also implement the same interface, with no changes required to the base code.\n\n\nWhat do you guys think?\n\n\nThe sad news is I am working in Framework 2!! :D\n\n\n\n\n---\n\n\n**EDIT 3**\n\n\nThis was so simple following on from [Jon Limjaps Pointer](https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/8941\/generic-type-checking#8956).. So simple I almost want to cry, but it's great because the code works like a charm!\n\n\nSo here is what I did (you'll laugh!):\n\n\nCode added to the generic class\n-------------------------------\n\n\n\n```\nbool TypeValid()\n{\n    \/\/ Get the TypeCode from the Primitive Type\n    TypeCode code = Type.GetTypeCode(typeof(PrimitiveDataType));\n\n    \/\/ All of the TypeCode Enumeration refer Primitive Types\n    \/\/ with the exception of Object and Empty (Null).\n    \/\/ Since I am willing to allow Null Types (at this time)\n    \/\/ all we need to check for is Object!\n    switch (code)\n    {\n        case TypeCode.Object:\n            return false;\n        default:\n            return true;\n    }\n}\n\n```\n\nThen a little utility method to check the type and throw an exception,\n\n\n\n```\nprivate void EnforcePrimitiveType()\n{\n    if (!TypeValid())\n        throw new InvalidOperationException(\n            \"Unable to Instantiate SimpleMetadata based on the Generic Type of '\" + typeof(PrimitiveDataType).Name + \n            \"' - this Class is Designed to Work with Primitive Data Types Only.\");\n}\n\n```\n\nAll that then needs to be done is to call *EnforcePrimitiveType()* in the classes constructors. Job done! :-)\n\n\nThe only downside, it only throws an exception at runtime (obviously) rather than design time.
