• Windows Forms When ShowDialog() is called with a parent, memory is not released

  I have a Form with a lot of contols. What I have notice in the CLR profiler is that the form is not release after the form is closed if showdialog was called with a parent.. using(Form myForm = new myForm()) { myForm .ShowDialog(parentform); } According to the above code, myForm should have been displosed when the using statement finishes. The profiler shows that the form is kepted alive by a forms "PropetyShare". The thing is if I call ShowDialog() without the parent, the kept-alive does not occur. Any one have a good explanation Hi Paul, Based on my research with the ...Show All

• Visual Studio MsBuild Task and References

• SQL Server Transfer SQL Server Objects Errors

  Hi. I'm totally new to SSIS (SP1), and I'm having a raft of troubles transferring DB's using the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task', which seems to be the closest replacement for the old DTS Transfer Objects tool. I'm trying to transfer a DB from an SQL Server 2000, where I only have SQL Server authentication (it's a shared hosting environment) to my local SQL Server 2005 server, where I'm logged in using Windows Authentication (although I have the same issues if I use SQL Authentication locally). Here's the list of errors I'm getting. If I don't select 'copy all tables', I receive a "table does not exist at source" error. If I d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Degraded performance when debugging MDX1.1 applications in VS2005 compared to VS2003

  Hello, I've noticed that when I'm debugging MDX1.1 applications in VS2005, they achieve a significantly lower framerate than when debugging them in VS2003. The performance decrease differs per application and seems to be somehow linked to the use of HLSL effects, as applications that use the Fixed Function Pipeline do not suffer this decrease. This morning I witnessed an extreme case of this problem with a little game that renders multiple meshes using HLSL effects. It achieved a lowly 60fps when I ran it in debug from VS2005, whereas it achieves a 550fps framerate when I just run the debug exe from Windows Explorer ...Show All

• .NET Development objects not removing

  This is a wierd one. I have done this millions of times without any problems but for some reason, I'm facing a problem.   I have 2 forms and 1 class file which does the "low" level stuff (creating objects, setting properties and so on)   1 form is a main form and the other is an "editor" which edits the properties of a selected object. When calling the editor, I give it the object to modify and the configuration manager class in the constructor. Configuration manager is the "low" level stuff handler. Now, when objects are created, they are stored in an arraylist. When objects are modified, all that needs to be ...Show All

• SQL Server Does a checkpoint file record a package's state

  The state of a package at any one point in time is determined by the values in all of its user variables as these are the only properties in the package that can be changed and persisted throughout the runtime of the package. Is the package's state stored in a checkpoint file in the event that the package fails In other words are the user variable values stored in the checkpoint file Thanks Jamie   Similarly, you could log this using a log provider, however, you will run into the same problem I am facing - with that logging  bug and only logging the immediately inherited pkg!!!

• Windows Forms Overriding CreateParams in derived Form

  I'm making a class derived from the Windows::Forms::Form class, and need to override the CreateParams property so that it's a layered window when its instanced. I've found a million examples of this in C#, but none in C++. I've tried old syntax, new syntax, and I always end up with a string of errors starting with "Windows::Forms::CreateParams is not a class, union, or struct" and then an endless list of syntax errors. I'd post a code snippet, but I've tried so many variations with the same result, I wouldn't know which to post. Can someone post an example of the proper syntax for this in Visual Studio 2005 usi ...Show All

• Visual C# calling C# function from C

  Hi I have been searching for an example code/instructions as to how to call a C# function from a native C dll. I have seen some instructions for C++ such as writing a managed MC++ wrapper, or playing with the low level IL code which is not an option for me. I appreciate any kind of feedback Thanks Mehmet Atlihan MCP You don't have any other options - if you want to call managed code, you need to build something in MC++. You could build a MC++ dll that you call from C, perhaps Your other option actually is COM - but I would imagine COM in plain C would be a pain. You can write C# code tha ...Show All
