• Visual C++ Debugging a for loop

  Hi Guys! Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere... So if I have a for loop which repeats 200 times and I want to stop (debug) the loop when a value inside the loop reaches a certain value, is there a way other than to press F10 a thousand times In other Words how can I debug a for loop at the 180th repetition, or when a variable inside the loop reaches a certain value I would much appreciate if anyone could answer me this question.

• Visual Studio Team System Sharing FXCop Rule Sets

  I have a medium sized environment (125 devs) and hundreds of visual studio solutions. I want to use a check-in policy (in TFS) to enforce a subset of the FXCop rules shipped with VS2005. I want to define the subset of rules once, then somehow share them with all other developers as the default rule set they should be running. Then in my automated build I want to run code analysis for my subset of rules during our automated build process (not using VS, just calling MSBuild with parameters). If the code analysis raises an error I will fail the build. First, I can't figure out is how to share the rules subset with all of the developers ( ...Show All

• SQL Server Why does the index lock my updates in SQL Server 2005?

  When one process has one record locked in Update-Mode then an other process can't update any other records on that table with some queries, other queries that access the same records (but with a different WHERE statement) will execute. This problem occurs with SQL Server 2005, but it didn't with SQL Server 2000 (or any other database). The problem: -Process 1 locks a record in the table, and keeps it in Update-Mode, because the user is editing it. (Using OLEDB Pessimistic Cursor-locking) -Process 2 wants to update an other record, buts gets a "Lock timeout" when using one query but not with another. For example this que ...Show All

  I have just finished the problem before and then saved my work. I always leave the program running for a while after I save to make sure it saves.

• Visual Basic Using VB.NET to get audio file extended attributes?

  Hi everyone... I'm an intermediate VB.NET user. I have a couple of applications that finds all the .WAV and .MP3 files in a folder (and its subfolders), reads their headers, and reports their sample rates, lengths, and number of channels. They run on XP and 2003 Server. I'd like to extend this to .WMA and .AIF files, and I'm starting to think that an easier way of accomplishing this task is to leverage some sort of Windows API. Considering that all three of those attributes are reported in Windows Explorer (by right-clicking on an audio file, selecting "Properties...", clicking the "Summary" tab, and t ...Show All
