• .NET Development !dumpheap -stat is not working

  Hi, I'm trying to debug a memory leak in the .NET program. I got the memory dump from the ADPlus.vbs. I use the windbg, load the sos.dll, and try to use the !dumpheap -stat to exam the content of gc heap, nothing showes up from the !dumpheap command. Worst after I issued the !dumpheap command, the windbg hangs up. Can anyone help me to get the !dumpheap working Thanks. Bobby Bobby, Ensure you have the right version of sos.dll loaded for the framework. (i usually create another folder under the Windbg directory called clr20 and copy the .net 2.0 sos.dll there.) .chain should show you all l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Howto determine the startup form of a project?

  I'm trying to figure out which form is the startup form for a WinForms project. Ive looked for some property in the project or the VB file itself and neither one seems to know the answer. More specifically, I'm looking at the Properties collection of the project and the projectitems objects using the DTE. Obviously I'm missing it here. Where can I look to find this information Thanks Bill Would this work Sub Macro2() Dim objProject As Project = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1) For Each objPI As ProjectItem In objProject.ProjectItems If objPI.Name = "My Project" ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using map as DLL function parameter

  Hi, I'm trying to create a map object in main program and give pointer to this map to function from dll as parameter. When then I want to use this pointer in the dll function every attempt at iterating the map leads to program crash. It is peculiar because methods as size and even access to first pair of the map works normally. Thank you for help. That's the problem with statically linking the CRTs. As you should know, std::map uses dynamically allocated memory to store it's map as you add entries to it (or you construct/destruct/copy construct), and particularly for iterating entries. You'll get crashes wit ...Show All

• Visual C++ 64bit manifest problem / side by side issue

  Hi all, I have a 64bit app that refuses to start, it complains about common controls supposedly amiss (in the event log. the error message popping up when starting the app is something completely useless, of course. "...aplication configuration is incorrect...."). It's built from the same source tree than the corresponding 32bit app, which uses some common controls functionality, however, it used to work and now it suddenly doesn't any more. Anyone have any hints on how i can systematically go about finding out where the problem is I told VS2005 explicitly to not include or generate any manifests, and yet i end up with a bloody manifest file ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System InfoPath projects fail in TFS

  If I add a infopath project to a source controlled solution other teammembers donot get a working infopath project when they get-latest the solution. They get various errors, primarily caused (as it seems) by the missing of the InfoPath files. They are not retrieved from the source control. I stored the InfoPath project in a subfolder under the solutionroot. [EDIT: A work around is to make the files writeable (after a manual get from the source control) and then reopen the solution. The infopath project opens fine then. Compiling became the next problem. The output path of the enclosed c# project shoud be .\ (instead of bin\Debug)] Anyone in ...Show All
