• Visual C# debug vs release

  hi, what diferences are betwen "debug" and "release" binary file version of project Just to compliment Vikram's information: You can debug release versions (without disabling optimisations) in .NET 2.0, by doing the following: 1. In Solution Explorer , right-click the Project node and click Properties 2. In the Properties window, select the Debug tab 3. Change Configuration to Release 4. Under Output , click Advanced... 5. In Advanced Build Settings , change Debug Info to pdb-only This will generate pdb debug symbols for debugging a release version. To using conditional directives: # if DEBUG    MessageBox.Show("D ...Show All

• Visual Studio EnvDTE80.Debugger.CurrentProcess, Process2.Attach2 questions

  1. Is the correct sequence to attach to process: Process2.Attach2("Managed"); EnvDTE80.Debugger.CurrentProcess = p; or the other way around 2. Why are Process2.Break or EnvDTE80.Debugger.Break throwing COM exceptions First one says something about not supported. 3. Are these methods asynchronous i.e. does the attached process continue on executing Is it possible to attach in a way so that after attaching, the debugger breaks into the process 4. Why are breakpoints not honoured after attaching At least that is what I am seeing Thanks Pawan You have asked these questions in multiple posti ...Show All

• Windows Forms Doubleclick event on combox doesn't trigger

  I added a doubleClick event to a textbox. This is triggered very well. Now i added a MouseDoubleClick event to a combobox (because a doubleclick event doesn't exists apparantly), but this event is not triggered. Why How do i solve this Kind regards Damiaan Peeters Thanks for the hint from Davecat. Double click is quite useful when combobox displayed in DropDownStyleSimple. In a similar fashion in Visual Basic Dim mylastClick As Date = Now Private Sub ComboBoxPathologyTests_MouseClick( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ComboBoxPathologyTests.MouseClick ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question about moving an app from vb.net 2003 to vs 2005

  I'll be getting my copy of vs 2005 this week and had a question about EnableVisualStyles and how that will work. I just recently learned about enablevisualstyles and have started to apply this to my app. However, vs 2005 has this turned on by defualt and draws the controls to correctly include this be default. Does anyone know what happens to visual styles when bringing an app from vb.net 2003 into vs 2005 I'm hoping that it will apply the correct visual style settings automatically, however I'm a bit optimistic about this. I have a copy of my app that does not have any of the visual style stuff turned on so maybe this one would work bett ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Application Center Test - No Simultaneous Connections

  Perhaps not the best place to post such a question but MS seems to be doing an outstanding job of evading my questions. Does ANYONE here know anything about "Application Center Test" load testing tool I am trying to run some scripts in Application Center Test with the "Simultaneous browser connection" property set to 5 or more. But it does not seem to actually run the simultaneous browsers. The results says that it has ran the 5 simultaneous connections, but the "Total number of Requests" value only reflects that of a single browser connection (my script makes 37 requests, and total requests should be 37 x 5 smultaneous connections= 185, bu ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl leaves me wanting more

  I've got an application that has a TabControl with some tab pages on it. I'd like the users to be able to close a tab if they dont want it any more. The tab control will add the left and right arrows if there are more tab pages than can fit on the tab control, so that you can move down the list of tabs. However, I can not find an intuitive way to allow the user to close the selected tab during runtime. What would be ideal is if there was a way to put a button in the TabControl header, like the left and right arrows, that could close the selected tab. Only thing is that the TabControl won't allow you to place a button in the header. Does a ...Show All
