• Windows Forms Windows Form w/Internet Explorer

  Has something changed between .Net Framework 1.1 and 2.0 concerning the ability to use Windows forms in IE. In 1.1 I wrote a class library and then used it via the <OBJECT> tag in IE. I could access the public methods and properties of the DLL via javascript as well as using the <PARAM> tag. I wrote the same DLL in 2.0 and now I can only use the <PARAM> tag to access properties and methods, not javascript. For instance my class library has a property, LabelText, that modifies the text of a Windows Form Label hosted in IE. Assuming my <OBJECT> tag has an id of myObject I could modify the text by the following BLOCKED S ...Show All

• .NET Development Interlocked.CompareExchange(Int32, Int32, Int32)

  i am confused about the documentation of Interlocked.CompareExchange ( see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/801kt583(VS.80).aspx). it says "the compare and exchange operations are performed as an atomic operation." but then, in the included example, it talkes about "another thread that can have updated the total variable in the meantime". how is it possible that another thread can modify the totaValue variable through the use of Interlocked.CompareExchange() if it is supposed to be thread safe and stated to be an atomic operation another observation of the msdn example: why isn't the read access to the totalValue ...Show All

• SQL Server Variables Not Seen In Custom DataFlow Destination

  I have run into a HUGE problem (possibly a BUG)! I have a custom XML Destination script which uses a FILE Conn to send to another path using the original file name. (found in my foreach container (varFileNm) The problem is that my destination will not use the value found for the varFileNm. I can see the value just fine in the Flat File Receive, but I can't see the value in my custom XML Destination Script using a File Conn (also tried a Flat File Conn for laughs and giggles) In additon, I have tried several other ways to set the varFileNm to some value (both dynamc & s ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to build custom debug engines for VS2005?

  We built a custom debug engine, using the TextInterpreter sample as a guide, five years ago, and have managed to build high-value debuggers since then. I have everything working porting our plug-ins from VS200[23] to '05, except the debuggers don't work.  And now I see in the Beta 2 Readme item 15: "The TextInterpreter sample is not working." I feel we're being left high and dry here.  What kind of resolution can we expect for those of us building custom debug engines that don't involve managed code generation - Eric What would be the recommendation about implementing a custom debug engin ...Show All
