• Visual Studio Team System Long running time for "Dispose Methods should call base class Dispose()"

  Hello, I've been invesitgating the performance of FxCop and came across an anomalous performance on the rule "Dispose methods should call base class dispose" (Microsoft.Usage#CA2215). One two different assemblies (Spring .NET framework, and SharpDevelop), this rule takes orders of magnitude longer than other rules. About 6 seconds on Spring, and roughly 20 seconds on SharpDevelop. Most other rules I looked at run in less than half a second on these codebases. I am using the commandline of FxCop version 1.35, build 51212.0. Does anyone experiance similar performance problems with this rule Is there an explanation for why this is so ...Show All

• Visual C# Capturing mouse button (Middle one)

• Visual Studio Team System Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

  Hi, (VS 2005, Beta 2) I get the error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" when I try to open any of the test windows using "Test|Windows|Test View" or any similar approach.

• Visual Studio Team System Overriding properties in .vbproj and .csproj with Team Build

  I have a situation where I want all my visual studio projects in source control to be set to delay signed so that they have no problems developing with that code - which sets the property in each .vb/.csproj to : <DelaySign>true</DelaySign> However for a formal release build on the build machine, I dont want to delay sign. I guess I could go through the labourious exercise of editing every .vb/.csproj file to add a condition to set true/false depending on where the build is being carried out. or I could create some sort of custom task and add it to the BeforeBuild target in my Team Build that resets this property in each file to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions accessing attribute of the object in the objects' arrayList

  I have arrayList of objects and want to assign a value to an attribute(string) of object which is in arrayList I tried   for (int i=0; i < arrayListofObj.Count; i++) {      arrayListofObj[ i].string= maskedTextBox8.Text; } But it doesn't work. thank you For future reference 'it doesn't work' is not very helpful. Instead, try posting the error message you get from the compiler. In this case, the error message will be that object does not contain a string property. This is true. Why are you storing an array of objects If they are all of the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Get key user entered

  I searched in msdn library, but i haven't found anything good... I am actually doing a game, all the code of how it should move is ok, but the only thing I need is to be able to determine where is the mouse and what key did the user press. Example: you press somewhere, it pops a dot at that place Example 2: you press right arrow, the dot moves right... I am ok with the code of displaying the dot, but not with the getkey function or whatever it could be... If you wish to get left mouse button clicks, handle WM_LBUTTONDOWN. case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: { int x = LOWORD( lParam ); int y = HIWO ...Show All

• Visual C++ Static class members and LNK2001

    I don't know if this is a bug or my own stupidity playing tricks on me (the most likely). I have the following class: class CDummy { public : static CDummy* Singleton; CDummy(); virtual ~CDummy(); };   With the following implementation: #include "CDummy.h" CDummy::CDummy() { Singleton = this ; } CDummy::~CDummy() { } Now, if I build that, I get a LNK2001 error on the Singleton: CDummy.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class CDummy * CDummy::Singleton" ( Singleton@CDummy@@2PAV1@A) However, if I comment out the initializatio ...Show All

• .NET Development Resource editor suggestion?

  I'm looking for a resource editor (for use with VS2005) that better than what's included in Visual Studio.  Primary will be working strings, and some binary data. Anyone have any suggestions, recommendations TIA, Richard My single biggest gripe is the limited viewable space for entering in text strings.  The longer the string, the more of a pain it is. Also, I just came up with a need to put in some binary data, which offhand I didn't see a way of doing.  I guess could Base64 encode it, but then I'm back to the above paragraph. ...Show All

• SQL Server Major problem with REPLACE-expression in the Derived Column Transformation

  I'm importing a csv-file delimited with semicolons. Firstly I LTRIM the columns "in place" and the data imports fine. All the numbers in right columns in the target table. Then I add another Derived Colum Transformation to replace decimal character comma (,) to a dot (.) in order to convert the string/varchar value to numeric. But here I run into trouble. Running the task ends in success but the result in the target table (same as above) is not. All the commas are now dots as expected but what is worse is that SSIS have added values in cells that should not be there. I get values in cells that shoud be empty! Shortly: Only LTRIM ...Show All
