• Visual C++ Compiler version information table

  I can't find anything on Microsoft's website but what I am looking for is some sort of Rosetta stone showing which version of the compiler is being used mapped to the MS name for the compiler. For example: Compiler Version ==> MS Name 14.00.40310.41 ==> Is the MS Visual 2005 C++ compiler. 13.10.3077 ==> MS Visual 2003 C++ When typing in "CL" at a command prompt, I get the version onf the optimizer. I don't get "MS Visual C++ 2005" or even "C++ version 8.0 compiler" Does anyone know where such a table is Thanks. D:\temp>CL Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Strange behavior from IDE while running tests

  I am following the "How to record and run a Web Test" walkthrough. If I go to the Test View panel and select "Run Selection" on my coded web test, everything goes as expected. However, if I hit F5, as is my habit, it starts by running a manual test (and I tell it to pass this test) and I stop debugging at some point. But then the IDE seems to get stuck in a state between debugging and not-debugging. I cannot edit files without getting a warning dialog about being in debug mode, but the Debug menu shows that I am not debugging. If I try to run just my coded web test (which will normally run fine), it throws an exception. I have to close the I ...Show All

How I can print the content of the controls , Where I can unload a code of example Thanks Klarita, I'm sorry you are at a bit of a bump in the road with your solution.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Preventing memory leaks

  Hello, I am trying to make my project clean and so I am looking for memory leaks reported by DirectX debug driver. The problem has two parts: 1) if I set a "Break on AllocId" in DX configuration with Id obtained from previous program run where DX reported memory leak, project is stopped on absolutely unrelated piece of code - is it possible that it takes some time for DX to stop it when it catches a problem how can i find the exact location could this be because of I am running it multithreaded 2) I discovered that even such calls as SetStreamSource, SetIndices, etc. throw a memory leak if they are not "unloaded" by th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form Resize incorrectly

  I have a problem with Form Resize: Make a Form (autoscalemode DPI), place one button in the lower right part of the form(Autosize false - Anchoring None). When I then resize the form, either in design or run mode, the button does not keep its location. Not even if you consider it is the top left corner that should be in the same relative position. The button disapears out of the right corner when the form is made smaller. It looks as if the resizing is only doing half of the resizing it should do. I have now written a Form_Resize event which works, but I don't understand why the resizing in VB.NET does not work correctly. Anybody knows the t ...Show All

• .NET Development ListBox magically disappears

  If I have a listbox that is databound to a sql database and the width/height is either set to a static value or no value then it displays correctly. Now, if I set the width/height to 100% it disappears both during design time and run time.  I just want to set the listbox so that it fills a table cell. Thanks for looking dave I'm guessing this is a webform application since you are setting the value to 100%. Is that correct   Try creating a stylesheet with a style class of 100%, then setting the CssClass of the document to the stylesheet class you just created. It may work a little better for you. ...Show All
