• Visual Basic Accessing a running program's ram

  I want my program to access a program's ram (when the program is running in memory) so I can debug it explicitly. I know how to edit a file by storing it in a buffer but how would I do this when a program is running. If suggestions or code samples are given, please make sure they are for vb.net and they are explained. Thanks. Hi! Access memory Your program access it's memory. Access to other program's memory is protected for security and stability reasons. If you want to make this you need a lot of reading about virtual memory, kernel, Win32 API, etc. What do you want to read in this memory There is no list of internal object ...Show All

• SQL Server Server 2003 x64 with SQL Server 2000 64 Bit

  Hi All, We will be looking to build a new server with the above configuration. We wont be moving to SQL 2005 as yet, as we will be waiting until at least SP1. Does anyone have any links to documents, white papers, etc, as where ever I look, I find things which skirt around it, but dont deal with anything directly Had a look on MS, however I can only find info for SQL2005... Cheers, Steve. SQL Server 2000/SP4+ is supported running on x64, but does not run natively.  It is an x86 installation running in WoW mode. It should work just fine for you, but if you want native 64 bit, you eithe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Extending VS 2005 - Solution Explorer

  I have a solution that builds 150+ dll's.  Is there anyway to extend VS2005 so as the solution is being built each project will get a Green check-mark next to it if it built successfully. Thanks. Wow, I didn't remember this thread But yes in some moment I had the same problem and it was really heavy use VS or a command line in order to build so that I built BuildConsole.Net. VS very slow to load the solution and bad feedback. MSBuild Command Line very light but it is imposible to know what is going on with your build. Regards, Gaston ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to avoid multiple Runtime Instances?

  Hi there, We're building a SmartClient application. It's a Windows Forms client, that communicates with the server via webservices. When two clients communicate with the server, IIS created two threads when calling the webservice, to complete both requests. We're using a State Workflow where each instance runs for several weeks. So we persist into SQL-Server 2005. Now I want to do something in each request with WF. I create a Workflow Runtime. As I understand, both requests will create a runtime instance. Funny thing is, both request the same workflow instance, and do some actions on it. For example, one throws it into the next stat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why does MSMDSRV.EXE still take up to 20% CPU?

       Even after changing the RunInternal to 2 hours as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2005/04/19/409886.aspx  and restarting TFSScheduler, MSMDSRV.EXE still takes up to 20% CPU and 160MB RAM.      Is this normal behavior How can I see what it's doing   Thanks, Rossen 160MB is normal. 20% CPU is not if this is what is happening on average. This might be due to trashing if you are using a data tier with very little RAM. You can check that the warehouse interval has been successfully updated by changing the log setting to verbose and look ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to interrupt a continuous plot?

  I am using visual C++ 6.0 to program a data acquisition system. I am continously plotting data within a loop but am unable to access the file menu (or any menu) during the plot. It seems that any other inputs are blocked during plotting and it doesnt allow access to a user input to stop the acquisition.   Any suggestions would be appreciated Cagla This is very difficult! Interrupting painting, or making painting reentrant. You can use another thread. But you need special techniques because you cannot pass the DC to the other thread.
