• Visual Basic does debugging mean that we can step inside the code while being executed

  what s debiugging in simple and plain english. thanks for vulgarizing:) is it the same thing for execute without debugging (with Ctrl F5) Everything you can do while ‘debugging’ tends to do far more than just include stepping through code, but then debugging at its root is simply the act of trying to locate, identify, remove and test (the removal of) bugs. But yes... when it comes to debugging of the sort you are talking, stepping through the code is part of it, but so can just running the application normally and trying to identify why something isn’t as you would like it. This can be done both with a debugger attached (enablin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can someone please help me convert the following C# code to VB code

  public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged { add { _changed += new PropertyChangedEventHandler ( value ); } remove { _changed -= new PropertyChangedEventHandler ( value ); } } Prior to version 8 (the one in VS 2005) VB didn't support writing explicit event add/remove methods, so you could only write Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler In the new version you can use the Custom Event syntax.

• Visual C# Garbage Collection

  I am running Ants Profiler to do memory testing on our ASP.net application.  The Profiler reveals that 308,313 System.String objects had been allocated and 17,900 are currently still on the heap.  That means to me that .Net has released 290,413 from memory.  Is there anything that I can do to reclaim the that memory or am I at the mercy of .Net's GC Any help is appreciated You might want to think about Adding a "%time in garbage collection" counter to the System Monitor on your web server and watching this counter while your application is running. If % time in GC is consistently above, say, ...Show All

• SQL Server Extracting XML data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 database table.

  Hi, We need to extract data from XML that is contained in TEXT columns in Sql Server 2000 database table. Can this be done easily with SSIS (NB we cannot use schemas easily with our data) Please kindly provide us the solution in order to resolve this problem. Thanks I've just had a go at this... When you select the data a TEXT field appears in the SSIS pipeline as a DT_TEXT. To insert it into a XML field use a derived column transform to convert it to DT_NTEXT. If you don't like DT_NTEXTs in your pipeline then convert it to DT_WSTR and then to DT_STR which can also be inserted into an XML field. So yes, SSIS can do this very very well. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Server Project 2005 - xml datasource - Querying the data

  The way I create the report is I use VS2005 to create the RDL programmatically on the fly. The problem is querying the data when I use XML as a data source (changing the data source is not an option).   I can connect to the XML data source, I enter a basic query in the data tab in VS 2005 and what happens is for some reason or another the above element in XML gets concatenated onto the column name in the result set.   So what I have to do is manually modify the RDL file to accept the new names and then the report works. There has to be a way to not have this happens. Any advice on where I can find information on ...Show All
