• .NET Development How can I know the reference count of an object?

  To diagnose memory leak problem, it's convenient to know the "reference count" of an object. Is there any API that could let me I know that e.g.: object obj = ... ... int count = GetReferenceCount(obj); if (count > 0) {       Debug.WriteLine(...); } When the window stays blank, can you scroll the window or click the menu I can scroll it and click the menu after the progress bar (showing the log file is being loaded) disappear, so I think its work has finished. In general, the CLR Profiler will show the result in several seconds on my machine. ...Show All

  Hi folks, I'm just wondering if it's possible to add a LIB to a Windows Form project I want to add Shlwapi.h, shlwapi.lib so that I can access the useful functions: PathAddBackslash PathIsDirectory PathRemoveFileSpec PathRemoveBackslash PathFileExists PathFindFileName etc....

• Visual Studio Team System Branching is Broken - Severe SQL Error

  About two weeks ago I was able to successfully create a feature branch off of our Main\Src directory.  Last night I tried to help a co-worker create a different feature branch off of Main\Src.  We tried from the VS 2005 UI and via the command line with no luck.  Both ran for 15 minutes without completing.  Finally we left the command line branch going all night and when we got back in this morning the following error message was displayed: C:\Foo\Branches\Feature>tf branch $/Foo/Main/Src $/Foo/Branches/Feature/XYZZY A database error occurred (SQL error 0) ---> A severe error occurred on the current command.
