• Windows Forms URGENT problem with Databindings.

  Hi, I'm using .NET Framework 1.1 for this project (we're not quite ready to roll out 2.0 for the company). I'm having a problem I don't think I've encountered before, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'd really appreciate any help I can get on it. The first weird observation that I made was that if I had a list box, and set it to have the datasource be dataset.table and the displaymember be field, it wouldn't set the position in the bindingcontext.

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 Breaks MSDN/HTMLHelp2 Searching!

  The Problem: * After installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, HTMLHelp searches do not work correctly. This affects existing installations of the MSDN library (which uses Document Explorer 7) as well as the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 MSDN library (which uses Document Explorer 8). Both of those use HTML Help 2, which leads me to believe that it is the HTML Help 2 that is somehow broken. * The Symptoms: (1) Go to the "Look For" search field. (2) T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System % Time in GC counter getting "stuck"

  Been running some load tests and I've noticed that every once in awhile, the "% Time in GC" performance counter from the web server gets "stuck". What I mean by this is you can see the counter tracking normally, but then at a ceretain point, it pegs at a certain value (typically around 40%) and every reading after that comes back with the same value. Tracking from perfmon confirms that the counter is not staying at that le ...Show All
