• Visual C++ __invalid_parameter_noinfo is resolved by LIBCMT.LIB but not LIBCMTD.LIB

  Hi I'm having to define _SECURE_SCL=0 when compiling debug builds of my C++ applications which are built using the /MTd switch, otherwise the linker cannot resolve reference __invalid_parameter_noinfo. When the release build is generated using the /MT switch, there are no problems, since this reference is resolved by LIBCMT.LIB. I've used DUMPBIN to try to find __invalid_parameter_noinfo in all the standard installed libraries, but it ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Form Size Problem!

  hi, guys, I have a small problem, but don't know how to fix it. I have a windows form, and the size is 916*600, and I want it always keeps it in this size. So I set both MaxSize and MinSize to this value. It is displayed perfectly in 1024*768, but in 800*600, when it comes up, the size is 800*600, not 916*600.

• SQL Server Queues and Filegroups

  Hi We can create a queue on a filegroup for performance reasons however what about the sys.transmission_queue which could have messages backing up when the target is down. What are your thoughts.

• Visual Studio Team System How can I run a perfomance test capturing the time taken to an open a document from the application

  Our web application enables the opening of a PDF file in an inline frame. Is it possible to measure the performance of when the document open request is made and when it is completed. Running a number of tests always returns the same results which I assume is just the start of the request as the time does not vary in anyway even though it can take a long time for the PDF to open. Josh I believe the responses are correct. I am not sure ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio Command Prompt

  Hi, I searched the forum and found nothing useful for my case. I also posted a reply to a partly (for me) answered question about the subject and got no reply. So I post my question again hoping for the best. I use the 2005 Express versions of Visual Basic, Visual Web Developer and SQL Server. As far as I know, those products are part of Visual Studio 2005 Express. But they are downloaded separately and therefore, there is no Visual Studio ...Show All
