The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

SQL Server Express 2008 sharing problem

Asked by Helmar0 in Products, SQL Server 2008

Tags: sql server express sharing iis

I have a VS2008 ASP. NET application that uses a SQL Server Express 2008 database.

I also wrote a VS2008 WinForms application that shares that database to perform various maintenance functions.

All works well in my development environment. While my ASP.NET application is active, I can run my WinForms application with no problem.

On the REAL server, however (using IIS), I can run one or the other, but not both at the same time.

I get various error messages such as "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:\SpotNote\DB\SpotNote.MDF". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)"..

I'm guessing the upgrading to full SQL Server would resolve this, but that's pretty expensive.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
