Occasionally I had been getting a 30-60 second delay when starting a
Windows service written in .NET. Today I stumbled upon a way to
reproduce it without fail:
Set the system date to the 31st of the current month, the service
starts immediately.
Set the system date to the 1st of next month, the service hangs for
30-60 seconds.
Change back to the 31st and it starts immediately again.
etc.
The service:
Main proc consists of ServiceBase.Run (new MyService());
OnStart returns immediately
Compiled in Release mode
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here?
2  2240 
Well, the obvious place to look would be in your service code. Are you
performing any date-sensitive work that would be longer when the date is the
first of a month?
If it is not that, then do you have any dependencies on other services
being started up? If so, is it possible that those services are doing
something on the first of the month?

Did you also remove all code from static constructors, constructors, inline

I have spent countless hours searching everything I can think of but I

something that will put me on the right track.

Back in 2003, I coded a Windows Service in VB.NET for framework v1.1.4322.
I deployed it in Nov. 2003, and it worked fine until the end of May 2005,
when it choked (see below). We restarted it, and it worked fine for another
7 months until it choked again at the end of Dec. 2005. It has now failed
again (mid Feb. 2006). So it's failing more frequently now?

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 app that takes about 17 seconds to load on first
startup but then is very fast after that. As I understand it from some posts
in June, this is caused by the loading of the App Domain.
We have both Cold Fusion and ASP.NET apps on this server and the Cold Fusion
apps do not display such slowness on their first start up of the day. Is
there a way to improve the load times of ASP.NET apps?

This slowdown on startup doesn't occur on non-.NET-powered apps such

Hi,
We have an application developed in VC2005 with mixed code, primarily C++

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
