I am developping a (relatively small) website in ASP.Net 2.0. I am also using nAnt to perform some easy tweaking on my project before delivering executables. In its current state, the website is "precompiled" using aspnet_compiler.exe -nologo -v ${Appname} -u ${target} I have noticed that after the IIS pool is restarted (after a i...
I have a simple .NET 2.0 windows form app that runs off of a networked drive (e.g. \MyServer\MyShare\app.exe). It's very basic, and only loads the bare minimum .NET libraries. However, it still takes ~6-10 seconds to load. People think something must be wrong that app so small takes so long to load. Are there any suggestions for impr...

Hi, Is there a way to set a different value for service startup timeout per service? I can change it using the ServicesPipeTimeout registry key, but it's per machine (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824344).

I have an idea for a web-based service. The implementation is very complex. There will be very few users, and the traffice will be fairly low, but the server-side code could require a lot of resources. Ideally I'd need to have as much control over the servers as possible. How should I arrange hosting for this, when it comes time to rele...
During practice of customizing VirtualPathProvider, I found that it the custom VirtualPathProvider can be registered in Global.asax or in AppInitialize method according to MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx. However, MSDN doesn't clearly describe the method AppInitialize. Does any s...
How can I make a Click-once deployed app run a startup? The best option I found by searching was to set the Publisher on the app to Startup, so the Start menu shortcut would be placed in the Startup folder, but that seems like a huge hack and I would like there to be a Start menu icon people can find. What options do I have? ...

Hi, I'm trying to use the PYTHONSTARTUP environmental variable. I set it to be "c:\python25\pythonstartup.py" in My Computer --> Advanced etc., and it doesn't seem to work.

What is the best way to send a password to a Windows Service? Our application needs a password in order to start. I don't care that services are "normally" supposed to run without user interaction. Its good enough for us that an operator can start the application and then log off. On a unix system, I would just echo the password over ...
I need to add the "Run when Windows starts" option to my program CintaNotes, but do not want to sacrifice the "cleanness" of it: it is a 100% portable freeware and should not leave traces in the system. I've come up with the idea to autodetect running from the Startup shortcut and automatically minimizing to the system tray. Is there a w...

Visual Basic 6 sometimes tries to install or complete the installation of other applications when it starts up. Why? I've seen this a number of times over the years and it's very annoying. Recently, I installed Business Objects, just the SDK, plus all service packs to 3.5 on a VM and the first time I go into VB6 it says Windows Instal...
