• Visual C++ ultra fast binary writes

  Hello, can anyone please help... This is a bit of a general question. My C knowledge is limited to the K&R book. I have used the fsutil tool on windows xp and noticed that the command: fsutil file createnew c:\$delthis.bin  1234567890  which creates a file over a gigabyte in size is extremely fast - it takes about a second on a PIII 800MHz with 256MB memory. This seems to be amazing given that it zeros the whole file, rat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Maximum size of Report Parameter

Running this on a laptop/desktop on .net framework 2 has fine performance, running the same code on a PDA running Mobile 5 on Compact Framework 2 has terrible performance.  ...Show All

  Hi all. I'm new to Visual Basic .net 2005 beta 2 so excuse me if my question is too simple for you.

• Visual Studio Team System HOWTO create a work item by a template

  can I save a work item as a template , next time when I create another work item like that , I can use this template directly One of the features that we discussed but didn't make it into V1 was templates via the OM - it would be sort of like the stored queries - they're stored on the server by name scoped by project and they could be added/edit/retrieved and applied to a workitem via the object model.  The interface would have the te ...Show All

  Hi. I don't understand why we should use properties rather than fields to initialize fields. Any work that can do with properties we can do with field itself. I think that only one difference there is and it is that can make a field read-only with properties. Is there another reason to use properties You can use Logic's behind setting is and check values, here is soms self-explaining code: public int MyInt {     get ...Show All
