• Visual Studio Team System Integrate VSTS with LoadRunner

  Hello, I am assuming most of the VSTS test code behind is of C#, is there way that we can integrate managed code with LoadRunner load testing tool, if anyone tried , would be lovely to know. Manjax Yes, Load Runner has a feature to run c# code under load. I think they call it .NET protocol, but I'm not sure. You should be able to factor unit tests so they could be called from LR.

• Visual C++ debugging: where are the variables?

  Let me start by saying that I am a beginning C++ programmer and am very new to Visual Studio 2005, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. When running the debugger on a simple program such as the one listed below, I find that it doesn't bother to display anything for most of the variables, and even for the variables it does display for, it seems to be garbage. #include <iostream> using namespace std; void main() { const int ar ...Show All

• SQL Server Background Color for SQL Server Management Console

  I am new to SQL server 2005 and I was wondering if there was a way to visually tell what server you are connected to other than the tab loacted at the top of the page. Something like changing the background color of the editor to red if you are connected to a production server so hopefully the user will not make unapproved changes in production. Please let me know if there is some feature like this out there. Thanks. ...Show All

• .NET Development Open SELECT list with script

  A seemingly simple problem...  I want to open a SELECT list drop down from an event like onClick from another object. Is there anyway to open a <SELECT> list to show its drop down list using script   .focus() only, well... focuses and .click() only resets the selected value but does not open the drop down list. I even tried a createEvent passing a focus, altKey and keyCode 40 (arrow down) to the document to simulate keyboard even ...Show All

• .NET Development Forcing an overriden method to call it's base implementation

    When designing a base class I wish to be able to 'force' an overriden method call to also call the base implementation. Is there a way to make the runtime call first the base.method() and only then the derived.method() OR force the programmer implementing the derived to do this OR even to throw a compile time warning that will alert the programmer to do so  Cheers, Kind of an oxymoron isn't it   Do you want to ove ...Show All
