• Visual Studio Team System FXCop: Exclude specific files from analysis?

  Is it possible to exclude whole files from code analysis My scenario is where I have a web reference that generates a web service proxy class. This reference will get updated periodically so I don't want to supress 500 messages every time I update it. Is it possible to exclude a whole file I still want the rest of the files in the project to be analyzed. unfortunately, we do not have the ability to exclude warnings in the managed code analysis tool by file. That said, we have been working on improving our behavior in the presence of generated code and the experience for the final release in this space will ...Show All

• Visual C++ ultra fast binary writes

  Hello, can anyone please help... This is a bit of a general question. My C knowledge is limited to the K&R book. I have used the fsutil tool on windows xp and noticed that the command: fsutil file createnew c:\$delthis.bin  1234567890  which creates a file over a gigabyte in size is extremely fast - it takes about a second on a PIII 800MHz with 256MB memory. This seems to be amazing given that it zeros the whole file, rather than simply creating a directory entry. If I wanted to code a 10 line program in C to do exactly the same (for simplicity with hard coded values -  no parameter options) and run just as quick ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection to Analysis services from VB - very slow

  Dear All, I noticed a strange problem with one of my client's computers where in establishing a connection with Analysis services from VB takes 6 seconds, when the computer is not connected to network, but it takes only a fraction of a second when the computer is in networ. We use ADOMD to connect to Analysis server. Analysis services is installed in the local machine. I ran dependency walker and found that the dll WS2_32.dll (winsock dll) is taking most of the time when establishing connection. This issue is very important for us and it would be great, if someone could help me in this. Thanks in advance, Niyas ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Issue loading & resuming an unloaded WF..

    I have a test app that does the following: It starts the runtime, adds sql persistence service to it and subscribe to some Wf  related events. Then upon user input it either starts a workflow afresh (Option A) or attempts to load & resume a previously unloaded workflow (Option B). In Option A, the runtime is stopped after the WF gets unloaded&persisted. User notes down the instance id of the WF when it was started. During Option B route, user inputs the instance id guid and I attempt to do a workflowruntime.GetWorkflow(Guid) followed by a Workflowinstance.Resume (even though just the GetWorkflow() should have ...Show All

• .NET Development the horrendous time penalty in System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArg.pagesettings

  For obscure reasons I needed to get the height and width of the print page repeatedly as defaults using document printing. Being quick and dirty i coded dim e as System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArg. ... e.pagesettings.pagebounds.width fairly deep in the code. When I moved it to page level processing print times for a page dropped from way too long - well over 10 seconds - to well under a second. WOW! Question: Does VS Studio 2005 Team Edition have any easy way to find out where a program is spending its time I ended up doing the old now-start bit. .NET has contained a profiler since its initial release. ...Show All

• SQL Server Nested Loops in the Control Flow

  I have a problem when using nested loops in my Control Flow. The package contains an outer Foreach Loop using the Foreach File Enumerator which in my test case will loop over two files found in a directory. Inside this loop is another Foreach Loop using the Foreach Nodelist Enumerator. Before entering the inner loop a variable, xpath, is set to a value that depends on the current file, i e /file[name = '@CurrentFileName']/content . The Nodelist Enumerator is set to use this variable as its OuterXPATHString. Now, this is what happens: First Iteration: The first file is found and the value of xpath = /file[name = 'test1.txt']/content. When ...Show All

The code is as follows: using (VertexBuffer buffer = this.mesh.VertexBuffer) { GraphicsStream graphicsBuffer = buffer.Lock(0, 0, LockFlags.None); Vector3 center; boundingSphere = Geometry.ComputeBoundingSphere(graphicsBuffer, this.mesh.NumberVertices, this.mesh.VertexFormat, out center); buffer.Unlock(); } For some reason, this code is always returning 0 as the radius of the sphere. My mesh is just a simple 7 vertex hexagon that renders fine. Thoughts ...Show All

• Windows Forms Start Windows Service After Install

  Im setting up a deployment for my first windows service and I have a few questions. 1. How would I go about starting a windows service as soon as it is finished being installed Or, could I force a reboot after the installation, since the service is set to auto start after being rebooted 2. My program also requires that the 'Allow service to Interact with desktop'  option is checked for the service's properties. Is their a way to do this as part of the deployment and installation instead of having to do it manually Thanks O ...Show All
