one of my apps is having problems.
I've got my own error handling routine, which logs errors, to a table in the
back end, which is on the server.
But.... a very common error at the moment, is, yes you've guessed it, 'disk
or network error...'
So I only know about those errors if the users tell me. I suspect the whole
network is a bit flaky, though these errors occur most often on 2 machines.
So I'm going to change my error logging routine to store errors on the local
machines. Partly to show to the network engineer!
But it does mean that I'll want to copy the records up to a central table on
the server every so often - I don't want to have to visit every machine to
look at the error logs.
Not sure when to do the copy, on some sort of timer, on close, on open or
whatever? Any ideas on a sensible trigger for that? This isn't a 24/7
operation.
Also, as the network is dodgy, what's the easiest way to check the server is
available before I actually attempt the copy? Shell out to a command line
and ping?

There's a function at vbnet.net that encapsulates the pinging in a
function. I used it once to pass an IP address and then it would
return the result of the ping as a text result. So just compare the
returned result to whatever the "success" message is. If that and
your answer are the same, you're in business, otherwise, something's
wrong. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here:
The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store

Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the
session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name
and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Hi All,
We have hundreds of images on our server. Depending on the ItemID (fetched
from database) we display the image to the client. For ex. if the ItemID is
20045 then, we display the image 20045.jpg
But for certain items, we don't have image. So, is it possible to check the
image is available or no on the server. So, if the image is not available
for certain item, then we want to display a default image for that item.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
