• .NET Development Beta2 Documentation

  Hi all, I can't seem to find the .doc files (e.g. Unmanaged Metadata, Hosting I/Fs, Profiling, etc) in the BETA2 distribution.  I did notice that the unmanaged API's are "somewhat" documented in the MSDN online documentation, but not complete. It would be nice to have the full blown word docs for the unmanaged API's as they are more complete. Anyway I can get them   Are they online someplace Dave.NET For the .NET Framework v2.0 release we have documented the CLR unmanaged api's including Debugging, Fusion, Hosting, Metadata, and Profiling plus others. We also added more unmanaged content ...Show All

• Visual C++ Slow mixed assembly performance... Why?

  Hi, I wrote a program in Visual Studio 2005b2 (Winforms), but include many of my image processing algoritms written in unmanaged c++. These functions use SSE2, and array manipulations. However, compiling my new program (.Net) resulted in very poor performance, where the execution is so slow, compared to the same code when compiled in MFC. Why is that I'm aware that .Net compiler generates MSIL, and it is compiled to native code on the fly during execution. Most articles online says that .Net code is slightly slower than pure code, but eventually the performance difference is too small to be noticed. In my case, the performance difference is ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomain.Unload memory leak problem.

  The following lines of code attempts to load an assembly into the newly created AppDomain and will be unloaded after some processing has been done on it. The problem with this is it leaks memory, as soon as I have loaded several assemblies during the lifetime of the application. This is fustrating, I followed the advise to load the assembly into an Application Domain so that it can be freed afterwards with AppDomain.Unload method. However, the memory usage for my application just keeps soaring indefinitely everytime a new assembly is loaded. Can someone advise me on this Thanks. try {     AppDomain tempAppDomain =  &nbs ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Keybord Shortcuts

  What is the possibilty of having shortcuts that will Create a new folder Create a new file These shortcuts can put work just like the CTRL+C or CTRL+V shortcuts and place files or folders on the desktop or in a file browser dialog or windows explorer. It would save quite a signicant amount of time if there was a native shortcut to add new folders rather than having to use either the context menu or the File menu to create new files or folders.     On the desktop, you use Shift+F10 to get a menu. You can file bugs and make suggestions via the "how to file a bug" shortcut on the desk ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSTA Document-level add-ins

  Hi, I've been through almost all VSTA tutorials but I haven't found the description of how to create add-ins to be load at the document level. My question is: Do we build document-level add-ins the same way we build application-level add-ins For example, with the Shape application sample, we can imagine that the user can create a new drawing (which is the document). Then, the user wants to enhance his drawing by code (because he wants to perform some operations the GUI does not provide). This means that he needs to access to the instantiation of the object model (his drawing) and not with the object model itself. It seems to me ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strange error with _fileno

  We're in the process of converting from visual studio 98 to 2005 (yes, we were a bit behind the times). Most of the changes are now dealt with, but there's one weird one that we can't figure out - it looks like a bug in the compiler.
