• Visual Studio Team System Incredibly (astronimically) slow performance on new RC of TFS

  We upgraded from beta3 to RC on TFS. Also ran the 2.0 hotfix. I uninstalled the client (had no instances of vs2k5 running) and installed the new RC team explorer client. I also installed the 2.0 hotfix on my local computer. Now the SQL server runs on 100% load.. 'TfsVersionControl.dbo.prc_QueryItemsExtendedLocal;1' is running It loads the solution fine to a certain point, but then freezes. Getting latest from team explorer goes fine. Branching is successful, opening the branch, however, was not successful. It resulted in the same kind of freeze / cosmic slowness. On 1 out of 10 times, I managed to load the solution. From there it was fa ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI constructors initialization sequence

  Hi all, I’ve been translating a C# program to C++/CLI and I saw something that I thought It might or introduce unpredicted results to my code. A virtual method was called from inside a base class. That was enough motivation for me to debug the code, and actually find out that it was the virtual method of the derived class which was actually called from the constructor of the base class! During this debugging session though, I also discovered that the constructor of the base class is called AFTER any initialization of the member variables of the derived class! I’ve searched for some info for constructing objec ...Show All
