• .NET Development Memory profiler recommendation

  Hi. I'm looking for a memory profiler which is capable of profiling unmanaged resources, i.e. resources that are allocated by managed instances, but live in native heap. So far, I've found only one program; .Net Memory Profiler v3.0 beta. Is anyone familiar with another solution Thanks in advance, Yaakov I believe the F1 profiler which ships with Visual Studio 2005 can do both managed and unmanaged memory profiling. Hope that helps -Chris ...Show All

• Visual Basic Painting User Control in a DataGridViewCell

  If you've read my previous thread then you'll know that I'm creating a user control that consists of a TextBox and a DateTimePicker. This control allows the user to pick a date, which is then displayed in the TextBox. The advantage of this (over just using a DateTimePicker), is that the user can delete the date string in the TextBox and leave it blank if no date is required. Anyway, in my previous thread I had an error with trying to hook this new control up to a DataGridViewCell. However I have solved this error, but have now stumbled into a new problem that seems to be giving me even more grief. I'm very new to working with user control ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I adjust the width of Child columns?

  I have adjusted column width of the parent columns using TableStyles/GridColumnStyles but these do not effect the width of the child columns. They need to be different widths from each other. (ie: "Description" wider then "Part #") Any suggestions  (vb7, DataGrid) I figured it out myself, works great. You can use the TableStyle Editor in&n ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form Focus Issues

  First of all, I am using the .NET 2.0 framework with Visual Studio 2005. I have two forms. One is a form with a TreeView control on it (used as a menu - kindof a favorites list) and the other is a form with a WebBrowser control on it. The TreeView_Click event fires up the other form with the link passed to it via the Node. If the user clicks the TreeView and the form is already open with that link in it, it is supposed to set focus to the appropriate form. This does occur, but it appears that when the Click event completes, the form with the TreeView control on it gets the focus back. So other than the TreeView form, the proper WebBrow ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS XML Source with random child ID??

  Hi, I am trying to load a XML document using SSIS into relational tables and pulling my hair out. In it's simpliest form I have: <Batch> <POSBasket> <Header> <SomeDetail/> </Header> </POSBasket> <POSBasket> <Header> <SomeDetail/> </Header> </POSBasket> </Batch> Now, when you have a parent child situation, you get a column in the output called xxx_Id, in my case, POSBasket_Id. This allows you to relate your header back to your root and SomeDetail back to header etc etc. Loading all of this in parrallel ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add connection wizard fails with Access database

  I have the RTM version installed. I am quite puzzled at this wizard. It works fine with SqlClient. But for Access databases, this wizard completely fails. In this wizard, I only have one option to do - setting the ConnectionString. I set it to Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\path\abc.mdb, which works fine in my code. But when I click OK, it complains: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0. --------------------------- OK   --------------------------- And more, the Advanced button is dis ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to create a dragable canvas?

  Hi, as the title, currently I only need to drag and drop the canvas on another canvas. show me some advice thanks. There are a number of ways in which you can get this effect. If you want to do this within a single application, adding mouse listener events (down, move, up) and detaching and reattaching the Canvas is the easiest solution. If you want cross-process drag/drop and something a bit more sophisticated (like the ability to both drop-copy and drop-cut), I walk through how to get this done in my blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/marcelolr/archive/2005/05/03/414490.aspx . The code samples are from an older CTP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Single Instance application crashes with an exeption...?

  I was making a program that I wanted only 1 copy to be running at a time. If its multi instance, I can run it over and over. If its single instance, instead of letting just 1 copy run, whenever a second copy is launched, both it and the first copy CRASH with some fatal exception error. I'm simply checking off the "Make single instance application" option under the "Windows application framework properties" section. Why does this make the program crash Hi, Would you please post more details about the fatal exception you got That will help investigating this issue. Also, it's great if you can try this: - Click on 'View Application ...Show All

• .NET Development Asynchronously Network Streaming Robot Servo Data

    First, a bit of background: I'm rather new to programming in general, but I've read a good VBE book and most of the .NET help file, and am currently working on learning VC#. I'm building a biped robot made up of 19 servos and a servo controller. I'll be using my laptop's wireless card and a WiPort Module to create a network bridge between my computer and the servo controller. I need to write an asynchronous network stream to communicate back and forth, because I cannot afford the added time that waiting for a response from the servo controller would take if I were to write a synchronous stream. In about a week, I ...Show All
