MSDTC on server ‘xxxxx’ is unavailable

Kapila Mahesh — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:32:18 +0000

If you receive this error message, it seems you are using the TransactionScope in your C# code,

Check whether MSDTC(Microsoft Distribution Transaction Coordinator).

If not, Go to Control Pannel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

And then double click the Distribution Transaction Coordinator. And then Set Startup Type is Automatic and Start the service.

Hope your problem is solve

Speed up Visual Studio 2005

Kapila Mahesh — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 04:38:58 +0000

Make sure Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is installed.

Turn off animation.
Go to Tools | Options | Environment and uncheck Animate environment tools.

Disable Navigation Bar.
If you are using ReSharper, you don’t need VS2005 to update the list of methods and fields at the top of the file (CTRL-F12 does this nicely). Go to Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# and uncheck Navigation bar.

Turn off Track Changes.
Go to Tools | Options | Text Editor and uncheck Track changes. This will reduce overhead and speeds up IDE response.

Turn off Track Active item.
This will turn off jumping in the explorer whenever you select different files in different projects. Go to Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions and uncheck Track Active Item in Solution Explorer. This will ensure that if you are moving across files in different projects, left pane will still be steady instead of jumping around.

Turn off AutoToolboxPopulate.
There is an option in VS 2005 that will cause VS to automatically populate the toolbox with any controls you compile as part of your solution. This is a useful feature when developing controls since it updates them when you build, but it can cause VS to end up taking a long time in some circumstances. To disable this option, select the Tools | Options | Windows Forms Designer and then set AutoToolboxPopulate to False.

How to make your ASP.Net label multiline (how to wrap text in your ASP.NET Label)

Kapila Mahesh — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:51:59 +0000

If you are using style sheet, write following styles to the label

<asp:Label CssClass="V10BBrown" ID="Label5" runat="server" Text=’<%# Bind("Desc1")%>‘ Width="149px" />

div>

Others are not importent, but the "White-space: normal" is importent. But make sure your text have space in middle

for example, it is not work this type of text "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

it is work this type of text "xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxx xxx"

Next Generation Yahoo Messenger

Kapila Mahesh — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 09:20:02 +0000

Yahoo showed off some cool demos with their next generation messenger client (you can watch a video of it in action at http://messenger.yahoo.com/vista). One of the really cool things about the new messenger client is that it was built using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and the .NET Framework.
