• Visual Studio Team System Can't instrument project targets for ASP.NET performance session?

  I create a new ASP.NET performance session and point it at my web application directory (i.e. not using IIS). Now, I can sucessfully get performance data for the web site itself, but I cannot seem to get performance data for any other project assemblies I've configured for instrumentation. At first I noticed that it was instrumenting the project assemblies in their respective project \bin directory as opposed to my web site's \bin directory. Then I tried using target binaries and selected my assemblies directly from the web site's \bin dir, but that didn't help either (and also doesn't seem like the right thing to do). So... any clues ...Show All

• Visual C++ Reasons for malloc to fail

  Daft question I know, but is there any reason for malloc to fail, apart from there being no free memory available The reason I ask is I'm looking at an app written by someone else a couple of years ago, the application is generally quite stable but every now and then, typically 30-60 days of continuous running, the app appears to lock up. I have looked over the app pretty closely and the only way I can get it to fail in a similar manner is by forcing a malloc to fail. However when this has been reported from the field, it would appear that there was plenty of free memory available, so I was wondering if there was any other reasons for ...Show All

• .NET Development SmartCard Signatu PKCS1 padding

  I have basic understading about the encryption. I am given a task to generate a signature for a binary file using signature cert on a smart card and use PKCS1 padding, with SHA1 hash.

BUT is there a way to know which type of padding was used Am I on wrong track Should I be using RSAPKCS1SignatureFormatter instead of RSACryptoServiceProvider Please let me know. Thanks.

• Visual C++ Has anyone at Microsoft actually used VC++ Express B2?

  I haven't used Microsoft's Visual C++ since version 6. I've always thought Microsoft makes the best software development IDEs by far, but the compiler was extremely lacking. I figured I'd try Win32 GUI development again (I do mostly Unix or cross-platform non-GUI), so, 1) I downloaded Visual C++ Express Beta 2 and installed it. 2) It didn't compile anything successfully, including  "Hello, World" (See this thread for those looking for a solution to this problem). Apparently this is because it didn't include the Platform SDK, didn't mention that it was required or that it even exists, and didn't make it one of several optional downloa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Module

  Hello, I am working on a program that uses a lot of subs and functions, so I wanted to bring those together in 1 single module file. Now I did this (see code), but I noticed that it compiles the module with my app, and it doesn't compile it to an dll as I want to. Anyone here knows how to solve this because it is important that I can 'update' the file just by replacing my module dll by a new one. Here is the code I'm using: Module modules Public Sub SetSettings() E nd Sub Public Sub GetSettings() End Sub Public Sub cfu( ByVal flag As Integer ) Select Case flag Case 0 Try My .Computer.Network.DownloadFile( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Application failed to start, mspdb80.dll was not found error !!

  I stopped using Visual C++ Express Edition for a few days after it was working fine.  I came back to it today, opened some programs in a text editor that I had gotten from a tutorial, and tried to compile and run them on the command line using "cl /EHsc [filename].cpp".  I have done this many times in the past with the same exact files, in fact, and I have never gotten this error before. [cl.exe - Unable To Locate Component] This application has failed to start because mspdb80.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
