Joke

I am really fed up, for the last three months working in production support. Code drops, bug fixing and installation on daily basis. Seriously thinking about changing the job. I don't mind even if it is as a waitor in the hotel, but the fact is that I will be a failure in that too. Let us c

Guest: Waiter!
Me: Hi, my name is Roshan, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?
Guest: There's a fly in my soup!
Me: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.
Guest: No, it's still there.
Me: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.
Guest: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.
Me: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?
Guest: A SOUP bowl!
Me: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?
Guest: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!
Me: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
Guest: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!
Me: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?
Guest: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day?
Me: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.
Guest: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?
Me: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.
Guest: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I'm running late now.
[Returns with another bowl of soup and the check]
Me: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.
Guest: This is potato soup.
Me: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.
Guest: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.

after 10 minutes ......

Guest: Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!

Soup of the Day . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $5.00
Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day. . $2.50

Crystal reports load report failed: Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0

Recently we upgraded our Web Application Server to Windows Server 2008. After this, crystal reports in the VS2005 applications failed to load. This is because VS 2005 applications were using crystal report version 10.2.3600.0 which we can't install in Windows Server 2008. In the new server we can only install the crystal report version 10.5.3700.0. I had to follow the below steps to resolve this issue. Downloaded and installed new version of crystal report from the page below. http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567 Changed versions(10.2.3600.0 to 10.5.3700.0) in Web.Config and report viewer pages We removed all the crystal report reference from the project and tried to refer the new versions. But new versions were not displayed in the list. So I decided to take a local copy of these dlls and refer them. To do this run the below command( as Admin ) regsvr32 -u C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll The above command will help you

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I was getting timeout error while executing a stored procedure from the web application. But this stored procedure is executing within a second while running from SQL management studio. This issue can happen when database's statistics and/query plan cache are incorrect. This can be resolved by updating statistics by executing  exec sp_updatestats Error: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Solution:  exec sp_updatestats If issue didn't resolve even after executing above this, you may need to optimize the query.
