• DeliDaba ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected - CLR unable to switch contexts

  I'm using VS Express (VB) and have a Windows form that uses the My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories to get a list of files in a directory and then using the My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile to copy the files in the directory to a new location. As each file is copied I'm updating a ListBox (adding an item). After about 2-3 files the ListBox is no longer updated (even tried Refreshing the ListBox and/or Form) and if there are very many files I ge ...Show All

• Matt Wyckhouse No Debug?

  My new installation of the Feb05 CTP VC# Express seems to have come without a debug capability.  I don't recall seeing that as a feature missing from the express editions.  Both the Solution Configurations and Solution Platforms list boxes are blank and disabled.  The Project Configuration tabs have no Debug/Release/All Configurations selection capability.  In short, there appears to be no way of setting up a debug build alth ...Show All

• Amitps Icons from Imagelists?

  I've got a question about Icons, i've loaded a few icons into an image list and when I try assign an image to the forms icon property I'm getting a type exception because the imagelist contains 'images', lol.

• emman101 VWD requires SQL Server Express 2005 ?

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that VWD Express can connect to SQL Server Express, but not to SQL Server 2000 This is rather surprising, as I've always seen that new IDE products *expand* on the database providers available, not provide *less* connectivity. Going the other way, i.e., *requiring* SQL Server Express in order to connect to data, will make VWD's usefulness very low for many developers. Can anybody explain this to ...Show All
