• Visual Studio Express Editions Simple Pause

  Hi, I'm trying to add pauses into one of my programs. If the pause is in a loop, the system hangs up on it. As a simple example, the following works fine - it waits 4 seconds then puts "5" in the label box: Dim g As Integer = 5 System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000) Label1.Text = g The following code, however, doesn't work. It just hangs up and does nothing: Dim g As Integer For g = 1 To 10 System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000) Label1.Text = g Next I'm just trying to throw in a pause during each iteration of the For loop. I've tried the things mentioned in the threads "A P ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting LNK4224 with B2 - what's the story?

  Hi David! When building projects with VS2005 B2 I'm now seeing lots of these: mymodname.obj : warning LNK4224: /COMMENT is no longer supported;  ignored While the message is straightforward, what's the story behind it The "/COMMENT" was marked as depricated in VC2003 and is now consequently removed... You should use " #pragma comment" instead. The reason might be: more C++ conform. -- Greetings Jochen Kalmbach Microsoft MVP VC++ My blog about Win32 and .NET http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/ PS: Please mark an answer as "answered" if it helped!!! ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Install 5342 problems

  I have downloaded vista 5342. I start installing it and it manages to rech phase 2 of the install. Now after the first restart during phase 2 of the install my screen eventually goes Black. It has an underscore "_" flashing at me in the top left corner of the screen. This also happens to me on build 5308. I heard that this black screen is where the hardware is checked.

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Rules Development

  Okay, okay so I know that any rules I write now will need to be re-written with the next release of Visual Studio, however I write (and maintain my own rules and now I'm stuck) .... I've been tasked to write a rule that checks for multiple return statements in methods, this is to help enforce the structured programming principle of methods having single entry/exit points that some of the junior developers consistently ignore. The problem I have is that with introspection I only get the MSIL, which is of course optimised. The optimisation process [is so good that it] actually restructures the code, eliminating all return opCodes exc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging of managed programs across the Internet?

  Hi, Is debugging across the Internet of managed debuggees doable with VS 2005   (Even assuming no domain related security issues are involved)  I guess VS 2005 continues to use DCOM, which implies the same limitations. Thanks, Alan    Alan, The quick answer to your question is no. The Visual Studio 2005 debugger doesn't support debugging managed code across the internet. The primary remote debugging scenario that is supported by VS2005 is within an interanet. HabibH. ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I change the computer resolution when my program starts?

  I'm having a problem when I install my apps to a computer with less resolution, my customized forms does not display all the buttons especially the ones at the bottom. I want to set the resolution at run-time, how do I do that Please help. Whilst I'm sure there's ways of doing this, my simple answer would be: don't. Not under any circumstances. You have no idea why people have the resolution they do. They may have eyesight problems, requiring a lower resolution, they may have restrictions from their graphics card, or even other programs. Rather make use of the Anchor and Dock properties to have your controls automatically resize at ...Show All
