MAX pool size reached in ASP.NET

If you are handling large databases and big application(s) that are running on servers in a cluster, then probably this error might have occurred. In an ASP.NET app, we can use connection pooling that helps to share the connection between multiple request(s) rather than creating more connections. The settings relating to connection pool are defined in web.config file.

Max pool size reached error in ASP.NET occurs, when the number of connections go beyond the maximum defined limit in Web.config file. Following are the various settings of the Connection Pooling:

Name
Default
Description
Connection Lifetime
0
When a connection is returned to the pool, its creation time is compared with the current time, and the connection is destroyed if that time span (in seconds) exceeds the value specified by Connection Lifetime. This is useful in clustered configurations to force load balancing between a running server and a server just brought online.
A value of zero (0) will cause pooled connections to have the maximum time-out.
Connection Reset
'true'
Determines whether the database connection is reset when being removed from the pool. For Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0, setting to false avoids making an additional server round trip when obtaining a connection, but you must be aware that the connection state, such as database context, is not being reset.
Enlist
'true'
When true, the pooler automatically enlists the connection in the current transaction context of the creation thread if a transaction context exists.
Max Pool Size
100
The maximum number of connections allowed in the pool.
Min Pool Size
0
The minimum number of connections maintained in the pool.
Pooling
'true'
When true, the connection is drawn from the appropriate pool, or if necessary, created and added to the appropriate pool.


And the following shows the how to exactly specify the settings in the connection string within web.config:

"integrated security=SSPI;SERVER=YOUR_SERVER;DATABASE=YOUR_DB_NAME;Min Pool Size=5;Max Pool Size=60;Connect Timeout=60;"

How to use QueryExtenderControl in ASP.NET with LINQ

Queryextender control is a control that helps in doing actions like filtration, searching, sorting etc. on the LINQ Data source with few steps. In fact we don’t have to write any code with this. Screenshot given below is just an example that can easily be achieved through this control. In the above screenshot, we can see that there is a GridView Control that has been binded to a LINQData Source Control. And we have a DropDownlistBox that is also binded to another LINQData Source Control and displaying only grouped jobs. The GridView display all the employees who are matching the Job Parameter. This is done through QueryExtender Control. Also we can search for any name in the employee name's through Query Extender control. The code in the HTML goes like: < form id ="form1" runat ="server">     < div >         Select Job: < asp : DropDownList ID ="Job" runat ="server" DataSourceID ="LinqDataSource2...

Using GUID or UniqueIdentifiers in SQL Server

In order to differentiate between two rows, we normally use primary keys or identity values which may be same across two tables. In order to overcome this problem we can use a special type named "GUID" . Its a hexadecimal number (Base 16) and the advantage is  that they are unique across all databases and tables.  In SQL Server the same concept is implemented through UNIQUEIDENTIFIER  data type. In order to generate a new value, we use the NEWID() function. For e.g.  a. Creating a table that uses the UNIQUEIDENTIFIER datatype Create table Test ( Empno uniqueidentifier, Ename varchar(20) ) b. Inserting rows in the tables with the use of NEWID() function insert into Test values (newId(),'ABC') insert into Test values (newid(),'XYZ') insert into test values (newid(),'MNO') c. Selecting the rows from the table. Select * from test  Empno                             ...

How to Delete Record through Knex.

This post is all about of deleting records through KNEX ORM in Nodejs. The following code shows how to achieve this: knex("depts").where("deptno","50").del() .then(function (count) {     console.log(count); }) .finally(function () {     knex.destroy(); }); The above code deletes a record from a table "Depts" where Deptno = 50. It has a "then" Promise attached that will show how many records were deleted with this command. Also "finally" is the method that will always execute and will close the KNEX connection. Happy Coding !!!
