    Clearwire too good to be true?

    I have clearwire at home, its not LTE. It is SLOW AS MOLASSES in January. I don't know how they can market it as broadband - I can't even watch a youtube video without a few minutes of buffering first. I tend to use my phone more since it's LTE and blows the clearwire out of the water. Now...

    VB.net loop coding question

    There really isnt an easy way to use a variable as part of a variable name. You could using reflection, but I'd guess it's just not worth it. Your best bet would be to add the values or controls into an array and then just reference their values using COUNT as the index of the array. Also...

    What is VB.net for?

    vb.net is just another .net language. I believe if the same program was written in vb.net and c#, the IL code would be VERY similar. There are some performance differences, but for most operations it is very negligible. Most functionality is interchangeable between vb.net and c#, barring...

    replicated SQL with web application

    talion: Unless the applications are custom designed in house, there probably is no way to have it target multiple servers. You can use DNS to redirect to backup copies/sites if your main server goes down, then you'd be resolving the name to a different IP address. Essentially, clustering...

    replicated SQL with web application

    In my opinion, If you really are looking into SQL Replication - you need a DBA that knows it. And from the little you've posted here it sounds like SQL replication is a good solution for your problem. Really, with a replicated SQL server and webserver at each site - the application becomes...

    Please Confirm MD5 for VSE 2012 Desktop

    I only have an MD5 checker installed. Also, I'm not sure there is any reason to do this since you are downloading it directly from MS - but its better to be safe then sorry I guess! I've only worried about checking MD5's when downloading from 3rd party sources. MD5...

    SOLVED - Problem retrieving a PDF file stored in SQL Server in an ASP.NET application

    1) Did you recently move it to Server 2008, and if you upload a new file does it work? Are you sure it's not the upload process that is faulty? Well, I guess the identical copy rules this out, but its worth a guess. 2) Can you verify the file size? IIS really wouldnt randomly change bytes...

    SQL vs noSQL

    Is this a system that is already in place? Is it taking 39 hours? I think you are assuming a server can only process them synchronously, whereas it can process multiple asynchronously (probably). You need to do some serious performance testing and see where the real bottleneck is. 1 second...

    VBSCRIPT Running incredibly slow

    Although I agree with exdeath, thats not the point of this thread. Put in some message boxes or log to a file a bunch of timestamps to help you figure out where the performane problem is. Also, how many rows are on tbl_customer and tbl_project_main, because you are selecting from them with...

    barcode readers + php/mysql

    Wow - necro thread! leony83, you can try to do some fancy javascript to catch the input and fill the forms automatically using keydown/keypress events. You can alter barcode scanners to prefix or suffix the actualy data with an identification string, i.e. "|" + <Product Id> + "|" Otherwise...

    Need help setting up my development environment...

    Unless there are source files in that directory (.cs) then there is not much you can do. You need to get the source code for the project. If the source files are there, you can at least ATTEMPT to build a solution file, but depending on the projects size can be very time consuming.

    renaming a SQL instance

    It sounds like you are confusing INSTANCE names with HOST names. One HOST can have multiple INSTANCES, and you specify the instance name when it is installed. If you used the default instance name, you dont have to specify it when connecting and can just connect using the HOST name, if you...
