Ok, since I've begun to dig deeper into the database side of DNN, I've tried to expand my knowledge of the host and admin portal functions.  I have looked at a few different Admin > Event Viewer tabs in my various portals, and I've noticed a pattern: lots of EXCEPTIONS. 

Here are 3 examples that I'm getting on EVERY portal I am running:

1. System.Web.HttpException: Could not load type ''. ---> System.ArgumentException: String cannot have zero length. at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetType(String name, Boolean throwOnError, Boolean ignoreCase) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetType(String typeName, Boolean throwOnError, Boolean ignoreCase) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetType(String typeName, Boolean throwOnError, Boolean ignoreCase) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateType(String TypeName, String CacheKey, Boolean UseCache, Boolean IgnoreErrors)

2. Shutdown Details: The AppDomain shut down because of the hosting environment.

3. Message: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject(String TypeName, String CacheKey) at DotNetNuke.Services.Search.ModuleIndexer.GetModuleList(Int32 PortalID)

Are these exceptions/errors/messages going to affect my site performance?

Any insight as to these types of messages would be appreciated.

Thank you.

sure any exception slows down performance for a moment. reagarding the issues:

1. difficult to locate, but looks like a caching issue

2. if the server is stopped or the app recycled, you will get this event

3. make sure, all entries in table desktop modules have valid values for "SupportedFeatures". Run the following statement from SQL in Host menu: 
  UPDATE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}DesktopModules SET SupportedFeatures = 0 WHERE SupportedFeatures < 0

Thanks, Sebastian...

I ran the update query and will continue to monitor my sites.

Chad,

Items 1 and 3 are actually both due to the supportedfeatures value for the most part

As mentioned item 2 is just fine, it happens, you will typically see that in conjunction with the restart notification.  Nothing to worry about.

So, Mitchel, the update query provided by Sebastian would theoretically take care of the issue if in fact it was caused by the supportedfeatures value, correct?  Sorry I have to ask such specific questions to make sure I actually know what's going on.

Thanks again,
Chad
