• Visual Studio Team System DoNotInitializeUnnecessarily

  Name: Do not initialize unnecessarily Level: Warning Certainty: 90 File: Performance Rules Category: Microsoft.Performance Check Id: CA1805 Additional Information: Do not make initializations that have already been done by the runtime. This rule asks that I comment out the line: private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null; In global.asax.cs for a web application. Doing this produces a compiler error, '(Namespace).Global' does not contain a definition for 'components' This rule appears to be incorrect in this instance. Try changing it to private System.ComponentModel.IContainer component ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath Depricated

  I get a CS0618 that AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath is obsolete. The suggestion is to use AppDomainSetup.PrivateBinPath instead, but no matter how I set it, PrivateBinPath remains null. I am trying to update AppDomain.CurrentDomain after the domain is started. Is AppDomainSetup the correct way to go It seems this would only apply at creation of the domain, and I need to make this modification after the AppDomain has started. Thanks i have the same problem. is there no way of changing the private bin path of the base domain. i used to do this using the AppendPrivatePath, how do i do the exact functionality of ...Show All

• SQL Server Profiling SSIS Package

  I am trying to start performance tuning a package that is taking awhile to run.  I want to know if there is a way to figure out how long each task and/or data flow takes to execute so that I can start figuring out how to tune the slower ones.

• Smart Device Development How can I do this in .NET CF1? Is this possible?

  Anyone got a c# class that has autocomplete added Thanks! The instrinsic controls in CF do not expose the OnPaint event. As Ilya mentioned, you can try to sublcass the control, but let me tell you, it is not easy, because you will need to draw everything yourself. IMO it would be easier just to use the OwnerDrawn list from SDF. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataBinding - Hardcoding ValueMember and DisplayMember

  Something that always bugged me about data binding in Visual Studio is that you specify the DisplayMember and ValueMember of the binding to be strings that are *supposed* to be properties of the data source. You get no intellisense help when entering these values and, if you spell it wrong or the name of a property changes later, the project still compiles and runs fine until you hit that binding. Is there a way, using reflection or any other method that I am not clear on, to get the name of a property directly from an object instance For example, I have a 'Customer' class with a 'Name' property (string) that I want to bind to a text box ( ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiline Search and Replace

  Is there an Add-in available for VS.Net 2005 that will do multiline searching and replacing In other words, what I would like to do is search for: line 1 line 2 line 3 and replace it with: line 1A line 2A line 3A etc. Is there a tool that does that Thanks, Chuck Cobb This reads mroe like a refactoring problem. Regardless, you can still get it done w/ what you already have. Peter Macej - of Helixoft blog - wrote a macro that extends the native regular expression search n' replace to provide multiline search n' replace. I haven't used this code myself, but the approach is promising and the b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C# and SQL Server

  Thinking of upgrading to Standard. Anyone know how C#.net works with remote databases over WAN links. Is it still better to create an asp.net hosted application or do executables created with .net cope quite well with bandwidth limitations like asp hosted apps do Another quick question, say I have a panel with a datagrid in it. If the panel if Enabled is set to False does everything within the panel also disabled And also if a datagrid is set to Enabled = False. When the program runs does it pre fetch the query attached to it What I'm trying to achieve is that the query only occurs when that particular panel is chosen and to unload th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to run a WPF application that requires full trust in a browser?

  Our app is a xaml browser application, and is set to 'requires full trust' option. It can run in debugging mode, but does not run in the browser. The following error is shown: Trust not granted.
