• Visual C++ "Correct" Workerthread Termination

  Hello, I have used worker threads for a long while and yet always had and still have problems with the "correct" way such threads should be killed for premature termination. They may have files open, are in the process of allocating global memory or doing any number of other things. The closest I got to "correct" is to signal the worker thread through it's priority if it's services are not required anymore for termination prior to it's full execution. Except the code then starts to look messy with CheckForKill()s all over the worker thread code. What is the "best correct" method to do this and yes, I am aw ...Show All

  I was playing with Glass effects in WPF and found following strange effect. If I make a Window complete transparent (Glass) elements such as Label, TextBox, CheckBox show black text on black background (see picture in archive).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Design Question, VB6 to VBExpress

  Hi..I am moving from VB6 to VBExpress (with a very short .NET 2002 stop) and have a design question. Suppose I have two string arrays. The first has 20 elements and gives the make of cars (e.g. GM, Ford, Rover, etc). The second string array has 15 elements and contains the names of various individuals. My goal is to match each infividual with a car make. There will be only one matching car make for each individual. My VB6 solution is to have two datagrids on a form. The car make datagrid contains simply the list of car makes in a single column. The second datagrid contains the array of individual names in the first column and a co ...Show All

What do I have to do to add a new MY SQL data source Michael I was told by two different Microsoft employees that Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition was the right version of Visual Studio 2005 for me to use for all of my needs including access to ODBC and MySQL data.

• Visual Studio Team System % Time in GC counter getting "stuck"

  Been running some load tests and I've noticed that every once in awhile, the "% Time in GC" performance counter from the web server gets "stuck". What I mean by this is you can see the counter tracking normally, but then at a ceretain point, it pegs at a certain value (typically around 40%) and every reading after that comes back with the same value. Tracking from perfmon confirms that the counter is not staying at that level. Anyone see anything like this Matt Not that I've noticed. The weird thing is it's not consistent. I can run several tests w/o it happening and then all the sudden it happens on a test ...Show All
