• .NET Development A Question on GC

  I have a MDI program in which user can open different document and edit it. After several user use it, they report that it becomes more and more slow. So I watch the memory usage of it carefully and found a problem : it seems the memory is never released after a document is closed. I watch the memory cost in Tesk Manager, and found that whenever a document is opened, the memory cost increases. However, after the document is closed, the memory cost does not drop. When another document is opened, it cost more memory. I later realize that since the document is opened for a while, the objects it allocated have been moved to Generation 2. So ...Show All

• Visual C# Indexers concept in C#

  Hello! I am quite new to C#, and one concept that really gives me a headache is "indexer". I have gone through the MSDN examples, and, at some level know how to use indexers. But, the thing is I do not understand the specification that says something along this line "with indexers you can index objects of a class like an array". The thing is, in all the examples, there is only one "new" call when only one object is created! There is no array of objects. Yet, right after the "new" call, indexer is used, like obj[0], obj[1], obj[2], ..., obj . When these objects are instantiated Also, I have ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MDX, where do I put the symbol files?

  Sorry for the newbie question, but where do I put the Symbol files I am using April 2006 release, VS2003, MDX, x86. Thank you. Well I didn't have that directory, but after a little hunting I discovered that its a separate download. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=562D72FC-61C8-41A3-8BFF-509466F3D6AA I always assumed these were for C++ only but you are correct that there are symbols for the managed assemblies too. I believe that you don't have to copy them anywhere - you just have to tell Visual Studio where to look for them. Tool/Options/Debugging/Symbols. I'm not sure if you can specify the root direct ...Show All

• SQL Server Does a synchronous transformation process all rows in a buffer before outputting to next transformation?

  Hi, If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it Thanks in advance, Lawrie. Parts: Component A (CA), Component B (CB), Row 1 (R1), Row 2 (R2), Row 3 (R3) Example Synchronous: CA and CB are Synchronous transforms (as defined by something like: output.SynchronousInputID ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing a client id from within a web service

  Hi I am using Visual Studio 2005 with VB 2005 and investigating Web Services. I have a VB client application that accesses a Web Service. This works fine, but I would like to know if there is a way to obtain some kind of unique id/reference of the VB client application from within the Web Service. I would like to save this id/reference somewhere (possibly in a file or database) and then, when the Web Service responds back to the client and the connection between the client and Web Service is then closed, I would like some other application to be able to access the saved id/reference and send a message to the client.

  I'm trying to draw a windows theme element (the window close button, specifically) to an image, and whenever I do, the image has ragged non-transparent bits. I got this code from a sample that didn't do this (it was all owner-drawn, mine draws to an image.)

• SQL Server How to check two datetime values intercepted

  Anybody can tell me how to check whether two datetime values are intercepted If you are asking to determine if two date ranges overlap, it turns out that there is a simple query. Suppose you have 4 values, @start_1, @end_1, @start_2, @end2. Then they will overlap if: @start_1 <= @end2 and @start_2 <= @end1 Use less-than or less-than-or-equal depending on how you want to treat the end points. If you have a date and a date-range, then between will work. If all you have is two dates, you can compare them normally. ...Show All
