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...

Microsoft has official released Office 2013 Customer Preview. This is one of the biggest customer preview releases after Windows 8. Microsoft is making big bets with this release. They are taking some bold initiatives with this release. This release is basically targeted for the touch based devices like Mobiles, Tabs etc. I have tried the Customer Preview. The very first impression is awesome...It has a beautiful interface and stability in its use. The Customer Preview comes in two models: a. Office 365 Model where we use the Customer Preview as a Cloud Service. b. Offline method (traditional .msi installater) I am running the customer preview for the last one day without any crashes and glitches. And to add on, the Customer Preview automatically picked up my Outlook data and One Note Data. Can't wait for the final release now.....

Some users have reported that, after they update their Samsung Galaxy S2 to ICS 4.0.3, vibration completely vanishes on the phone. I also faced the same problem. Till now, no specific reason why it happens and any update has been given by Samsung that recifies the problem. I rectified the problem using the following steps: a. Firstly put the phone in silent mode. (Even if doesnot vibrates). b. Switch off the phone. c. Switch on the phone. While the operating system loads, you will notice a small vibration at the start. If this happens, the phone's vibration facility will function properly. Normally the problem doesnot occur again. But if it occurs, repeat the same steps again. Why it happens, there is no logical reason to explain, but in my case it worked. Please try this method if you face this same problem and share your experience.
