I’m playing around with storing application settings in my database, but I think I may have created a situation where superfluous roundtrips are being made. Is there an easy way to view roundtrips made to an MS Access (I know, I know) backend?
I guess while I’m here, I should ask for advice on the best way to handle this project. I’m building an app that generates links based on file names (files are numbered ints, 0-5000). The files are stored on network shares, arranged by name, and the paths change frequently as files are bulk transfered to create space, etc.
Example:
- Files 1000 – 2000 go to /path/1000s
- Files 2001 – 3000 go to /path/2000s
- Files 3001 – 4000 go to /path/3000s
etc
I’m sure by now you can see where I’m going with this. Ultimately, I’m trying to avoid making a roundtrip to get the paths for every single file as they are displayed in a gridview.
I’m open to the notion that I’ve gone about this all wrong and that my idea might be rubbish. I’ve toyed around with the notion of just creating a flat file, but if I do that, do I still run into the problem of having that file opened and closed for every file displayed in a gridview?
1) set A breakpoint in the first line of page_load section in code by clicking in the leftmost bar (a dim thick line down the left side). You should se a round and red mark there then
2) … and run Debug in Visual Studio (hit F5)
3) Turn back to Visual Studio after the app has started and step through the program, line-by-line, by pushing the F8 button. Great fun
