• Visual Studio Should the LAN Booster Service work in Beta 2?

  I tried configuring VSS 2005 to enable the LAN 'booster' service but it didn't seem to have much effect.  Putting network monitor on the line it looks as though Visual Studio 2005 is still using SMB to communicate with the VSS Server. Is there some configuration I need to do on the client end to get this working   The Visual SourceSafe help file doesn't say too much more than that the booster service is optional.  I took that to mean I didn't need to configure it at the Visual Studio plug-in end but perhaps I'm wrong   Alin Constantin - MSFT wrote: the 06ba error is RPC_S_SERVER_UNA ...Show All

• Visual C++ implementaion of unwinding

  I have troubles finding information on this subject, so I'll try to ask here: What kind of unwinding mechanism implementation is used by VC8.0 Is it the same old and slow 'update structure on the stack while we go' (like it was up to VC7.1) Or MS finally decides to go after GCC & others by separating successfull execution path on compile stage (which is significantly more efficient) Bye. Sincerely yours, Michael. (1)(a) " __try/__catch instead of range checks " -- just as before: I hope you know what you are doing. Invalid data usage results not only in AV or DIV -- it could also results in memory ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Hidden Form Fields

  I'm recording web tests in prep for eventual load testing. The recording then assigns an extraction rule for hidden values including one for a form field called UIApp. Now our developers tell me (a QA) that our app frequently (but not on every page) uses the UIApp hidden form field to pass page status along on the client side. The web test recording does not seem to grab this value, because when rerunning the scripts, it reports that the value was not found in the test context on pages that rely on UIApp. Supplying a static value for UIApp will do no good because it is a dynamic value that changes in reaction to data entry and for each ...Show All

• .NET Development .net 2.0 Web Service Bug? args is null

  I wrote a sample web service like this: [WebMethod] public string Hello(string who) { return "Hello " + who; } I test it in web test page and a sample .net 2.0 winform application,it's run as my will. But when I wrote a delphi7 program,I found "who" arg is null,if you use arg as int ,it's 0. I also test it in java. I think it 's a bug in .net 2.0 why It sounds like the toolkits that you are using are not sending the right XML. You can use a tool like tcpTrace (available from www.pocketsoap.com ) to trave the XML traffic to try to see what is going on. Here is the actual XML that should ...Show All

• Visual C# Mid statement in C#

  Is there an equivalent of Mid statement from vb in C# for example i wanna do: string myval = abcde; mid(myval,2,1) = "x"; // myval = "axcde"   As VB.NET and C# are OO, they don't have these sort of non class methods.  Instead, in this case, it's the SubString method of the string class, or to do a replace, use the Replace method.  Beware - this is an expensive method, a new string is created each time a string is modified.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio IIS vs Apache

  Hiya, Just a quick question which probably has a very obvious answer (which I expect is going to be 'No') - is it possible to run the Visual Studio IDE and develop asp.net using Apache instead of IIS as the web server Cheers, We do not currently provide support for using Apache instead of IIS as the web server for development, but I am pretty sure that if you search the web for keywords: asp.net and apache you will find a solution to what you are looking for.
