Deadlock or Stop may happen when Using ServerXMLHTTP or XMLDocument Requests and Load Page to the Same Server

If you are failed to using ServerXMLHTTP send the request or using XMLDocument load a page in the same Server, you have to take look this below...

 

Using ServerXMLHTTP or WinHTTP objects to make recursive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests to the same Internet Information Server (IIS) server is not recommended.

 

If the ServerXMLHTTP or WinHTTP component must send a request to another ASP on the same server, the target ASP must be located in a different virtual directory and set to run in high isolation. Avoid using ServerXMLHTTP or WinHTTP to send a request to an ASP that is located in the same virtual directory.

 

If all of the ASP worker threads send HTTP requests back to the same Inetinfo.exe or Dllhost.exe process on the server from which the requests are sent, the Inetinfo.exe or Dllhost.exe process may deadlock or stop responding (hang)

 

for more information see (Do Not Send ServerXMLHTTP or WinHTTP Requests to the Same Server)

 

 

How Resolve This Problem

For IIS 6.0 you can create a new application pool, put all the request pages in a virtual directory and set the Application Pool to the new pool.

About Using <!CDATA[[ ... ]]> If you want to output a text wrapped by <!CDATA[[]]> to another xml, you can do this as below.
Some times you want to output it to an HTML through xsl transformer, the transformer will not to proccess the CDATA been output in a text as below. 
<script type="text/javascript"> 

    // the transformer result should look like:
    // <!--
    //     Some scripting code here... 
    // -->

    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!--&gt;&lt;![CDATA[//&gt;&lt;!--</xsl:text> 

        Some scripting code here...
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">//--&gt;]]&gt;</xsl:text>

    // this trans result same as above but more simple and clear 

    <xsl:comment><![CDATA[        Some scripting code here...    ]]> </xsl:comment> 

</script>

If you want the xsl output wrapped by <!CDATA[[ ... ]]>, Only one way i knew can do it that is cdata-section-elements.
You can add cdata-section-elements in xsl:output, each cdata-section-elements could contains one valu, but you can 
add more than one xsl:output, see the sample.
 
<xsl:output method="html" cdata-section-elements="title" />
<xsl:output cdata-section-elements="content" />
.....
<xsl:template match="content">
   your content here....
</xsl:template>
....
<xsl:apply-templates select="content" />
 
xsl output is:
<!CDATA[[your content here....]]>

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008: Error 916

When using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to connect and manage a database

if you clicked the “Database” node within “Object Explorer” may received the message:
The server principal “username” is not able to access the database “databasename” under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)

When you  clicked the “Database” node in the Object Explorer Panel in the background  SQL Server Management Studio 2008 execute an T-SQL query to retrieve a list of databases along with additional information about those databases, one of those information is collation, which didn’t have a permission to do for scan every database.

Fix:

1. In Object Explorer, click Databases
2. Display “Object Explorer Details” (F7) or “View –> Object Explorer Details”
3. Right click the column headers and deselect “collation”
4. Refresh Databases. 
   
   
   
   

Windows Media Player PARAM Elements

PARAM Elements in an OBJECT Element

Windows Media Player uses the PARAM element to define specific startup conditions for the control. The PARAM element is embedded inside the OBJECT element.
For example, if you want to define whether the autoStart property is True, you would embed the PARAM element inside the OBJECT element.

<OBJECT ID="Player"
  CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
    <PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">
</OBJECT>

You can have as many PARAM elements in an OBJECT element as you want. PARAM has two attributes, name and value. Both attributes must be set.
The supported PARAM attributes vary slightly among browsers and mime types. The following table shows the attributes supported by the Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers. The preferred mime type for the Firefox browser is application/x-ms-wmp, however, there are several other mime types that you can use to embed the Player control in a Web page hosted by the Firefox browser. The fourth column of the table shows the attributes that are supported when you use a mime type other than application/x-ms-wmp.

PARAM name	Type	Internet Explorer	Firefox with mime type application/x-ms-wmp	Firefox with any other mime type
autoStart	Boolean,	yes	yes	yes
balance	Long, -100 to 100, default 0.	yes	yes	yes
baseURL	String ,	yes	yes	yes
captioningID	String	yes	yes	yes
currentMarker	Long, default 0	yes	yes	yes
currentPosition	Double, default 0	yes	yes	yes
defaultFrame	String	yes	no	no
enableContextMenu	Boolean	yes	yes	yes
enabled	Boolean	yes	yes	yes
enableErrorDialogs	Boolean	yes	yes	no
fileName	String	no	yes	yes
fullScreen	Boolean	yes	no	no
invokeURLs	Boolean, default true	yes	no	no
mute	Boolean	yes	yes	yes
playCount	Long, 0 to ..n	yes	yes	no
rate	Double, default 1.0	yes	yes	yes
SAMIFileName	String	yes	yes	yes
SAMILang	String	yes	yes	yes
SAMIStyle	String	yes	yes	yes
SRC	String	no	yes	yes
stretchToFit	Boolean, default false	yes	yes	no
URL	String	yes	yes	yes
volume	Long, 0 to ..n	yes	yes	yes
windowlessVideo	Boolean, default false	yes	yes	yes

Note  The fileName and SRC PARAM elements are supported by the Firefox plug-in, but not by Internet Explorer. They both perform the same function as the URL PARAM element.
See the Object Model Reference for Scripting for more details about the values for each name attribute.
