• 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 level. Anyone see anything like this Matt When this happens again, can you please try two things to help us narrow down where the problem may lie: 1. Run perfmon again, making sure to run ...Show All

• Visual C++ Differences between operator overload in C++/CLI and in native C++

  Hi all, I would like to fully understand the differences between the two ways of overloading operators. I've read that CLI provides the ability to overload operator as static members, and that friend function are not allowed with C++/CLI. But what exacly are the advantages in choosing to overload operator with the CLI method. How will it be better (or not) to define overload operator as static members. Thanks for your help, Best regards, Nico The reason for allowing operators to be defined as static methods in C++/CLI is that the CLR does not really support free (global) functions or as you have pointed out ...Show All

• Visual Studio Further problems installing August CTP Professional Edition

  After successfully installing re-installing MDAC 2.8 from the August CTP and rebooting my system, the re-install of the .net framework 2.0 completely failed with errors practically on every line, a report was sent to Microsoft when I clicked the send report button, and the attempt to install the August CTP Professional edition completely ended with those errors.

I can try to un-install the Professional edition completely and then install the August CTP, but I do not know if this ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CCommandbar and AppendMenu with PPC2003 app in VS2005

  Hi I'm porting my PPC2003 application to VS2005. I've managed to make it compile, but my dynamic menus no longer work. The menu I'm updating was in a CCeCommandbar when compiled in eVC4++, but in VS2005 I'm using CCommandbar. What I do is use AppendMenu to add items to my menu. I do a printout of the items in the menu after appending them, so I know they are there, but they never become visible. I've tried DrawMenubar but it doesn't make a difference. I found that "On WM 5.0" code worked. The other item that I am having a problem with is dynamically disabling toolbar buttons on a CCommandB ...Show All
