I have an ASP.NET web application that has been running without any problems for a while. I recently transferred the site to shared hosting and had multiple users start to use the site. The problem I'm experiencing is that when many users are hitting the site at once, occasionaly I will see errors. The 3 most common ones are: "The SqlCommand is currently busy Open, Fetching. ", "Internal Connection Fatal Error", "object reference not set to an instance of an object"
In addition, occassionally the application will lockup for hours after one of these errors. I can navigate to pages, but I cannot log in to my application - I get a "request timed out" error. It usually seems to go away after a few hours - but obviosuly this is very weird behavior
The research I have done so far indicates that the "The SqlCommand is currently busy Open, Fetching." error usually occurs because a connection that was not properly closed is returned to the connection pool or is accessed when it is still outside the pool (and open) because multiple users are hitting it at the same time. The article I've seen about this (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._20942137.html) mentioned someone putting his data access components in a module, and the accepted solution was to put everything in a class.
However, the Data Access Layer design I'm using has worked in several other multi-user web applications, so it is odd that this is happening. I am using InProcess session state, and other than that I don't know what other configuration setting might be affecting this. Could this be an IIS or hardware configuration problem? It is impossible to replicate this in debug mode because it only happens when multiple users hit the system. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help
Here is one of the methods where the "SqlCommand is currently busy Open, Fetching" error occurred
public void GetAllRestaurantsByGroup(RestaurantCollection col, int groupid
tr
Connect()
PrepareCommand("Restaurant_Select_All_By_Group")
m_dsoCommand.AddParameters("@group_id", groupid)
return m_dsoCommand.ExecuteReader()
while (m_sqlReader.Read()
Restaurant oRestaurant = new Restaurant()
oRestaurant.RestaurantName = (string)m_sqlReader["restaurantname"]
oRestaurant.GroupID = (int)m_sqlReader["groupid"]
oRestaurant.LastVisit = (System.DateTime)m_sqlReader["lastvisit"]
oRestaurant.Description = (string)m_sqlReader["description"]
oRestaurant.Distance = (double)m_sqlReader["distance"]
oRestaurant.MapURL = (string)m_sqlReader["MapURL"]
oRestaurant.DBBacked = true
col.Add(oRestaurant)
catch(Exception e
throw e
}
finall
Disconnect()
The code called by this method is below
protected DSOConnection m_dsoConnection
protected SqlDataReader m_sqlReader
public void Connect(
tr
m_dsoConnection.Open()
catch(Exception e
throw e
public void Disconnect(
tr
if (m_sqlReader != null && !m_sqlReader.IsClosed
m_sqlReader.Close()
m_dsoConnection.Close()
catch(SqlException e
throw e
protected virtual void PrepareCommand(string sStoredProcedure
tr
m_dsoCommand.CommandText = sStoredProcedure
m_dsoCommand.Connection = m_dsoConnection.Connection
m_dsoCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
m_dsoCommand.ClearParameters()
catch(Exception exp
throw exp
Finally, my custom DSOConnection and DSOCommand classes are defined below
