.NET Development Calling the GC.Collect method
I have a code like this : public void SetFrmLoginNull() { frmLogin = null ; GC.Collect(); } This method is in FrmMain. But when i run a code analyzer from some tools i have, it's said that i shouldn't explicitly call GC.Collect(); b'cos it had side effect. I just need some comment from you all regarding this topic. Any Comment You should not call GC.Collect() yourself, because it has indeed a negative impact on performance. I think you should only call it, if you know that you've allocated a lot of memory that is not used / referenced any more at the time you call gc.collect, ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Limit scope of GET?
I trying to convert a very large project to Team Foundation build. I am wondering if there is some way to limit the scope of the GET that is done to get the source. Right now it is starting at the top of our tree and I believe eventually timing out on getting the source and then failing the build. Can I somehow point it at the Sources node within the tree instead of the root Here is a blog that describes how to limit scope of get - http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/21/483590.aspx ...Show All
.NET Development Running programs in other computers
I have written a DLL file in C#, I wrote another application wich uses this DLL file and everthing seems to run fine.

Windows Forms On toolstrip items and tooltips?
I've been working on a feature-rich desktop toolbar in VB2005. I noticed sometime ago that the toolstripbutton items didn't have tooltips although there is text data in both the .text and .tooltip items. I’ve made the mistake of not addressing that right away. The volume of code is extensive and “distributed” and I don’t think this is a coding error per se. I’ve read the KB article on Toolstrips and tooltips and every thing in there is implemented and has been experimented with and implemented. The application is a form with a statically declared toolstrip menu container. Toolstrip buttons and images are added ...Show All
Windows Live Developer Forums Launch count
Why have the launch counters been removed from the site I know that for the contest only launches till december 31th counted, but isn't is possible to keep counting My app was added after december 31th, but I'm wondering how many people are using it. And I think other app developers here would like to see the same... I can't imagine a reason why we aren't allowed to see the launches anymore, so is it possible to activate them again I totally agree with you, J-Thread.

Visual Studio .Net 2.0 SDK install problems?
I have tried several times to install this on different machines. I have installed the framework first, and when I try to run the install program, it interupts with the message "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory(low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file." I have tried several solutions including deleting cache files, temp files, and other things. Has anyone encountered the same problems I am having Thanks for any help you may offer! I figured that would happen... my next idea would be to make sure that your version of Windows Installer is up to date ( http://www.microsoft.com/dow ...Show All

Smart Device Development Menu Bar Help
I have a program - working fine and so does the Menu Bar. However - if I make any change to the Menu Bar - even editing the name of one of the labels - I get a failure on the Menu Load (SHCreateMenuBar) which I call in WM_CREATE. It loads When I go back several (a lot) of versions ago, I find that this problem didn't exist, so I believe something happened and since I didn't need to edit the Menu Bar - it was not apparent to me that something was wrong. I have compared resource.h and the .rc file and they look the same. It seems that editing the menu triggers building something that normally doesn't get built Is there a file I c ...Show All

SQL Server Merge Replication Without Merging Client To Server
I want to SYNC the data on the server to the client, but never the client data to the server. Is such a configuration possible with Merge Replication under SQL CE Thanks again! Merge is designed to be bidirectional but RDA is intended for scenarios like yours. Remote Data Access (RDA) with tracking turned OFF on your SQL Mobile tables is the way to solve this. You already have the IIS infrastructure in place since you're doing merge today. RDA pull the data to SQL Mobile on some schedule that supports the way your mobile users operate. -Darren ...Show All
