How to do a fresh install of Windows on Dell Inspiron Series with UEFI Boot Model

If you upgrade your HDD to SSD (Samsung EVO 850) in your Dell Inspiron Model, you won't be able to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 booted from CD Drive or USB, though the BIOS Setup shows and recognizes SSD. It will give you a BSOD Error (Memory_Management) from the USB bootable which is created from Windows 7 USB Creator Tool.

In order to resolve this, we need to create our USB Bootable of Windows 10 with the help of a Software named - Rufus. https://rufus.akeo.ie/

When we create a bootable USB with the above software we need to select MBR scheme for UEFI. That's the actual problem. So now if we try to boot again, the Windows 10 will be able to install without any error.

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 runnin...
