• Visual C++ App hogs CPU when mouse pointer moved over it

  My MFC app hogs CPU when the mouse pointer is moved around over it. I'm using task manager to monitor the CPU usage. No othe app seems to do this. If my app has a modal dialog box up then it doesn't happen. The app is built with Visual Studio 2005. My main window is only handling WM_CLOSE, WM_ERASEBKGND, WM_SIZE and WM_SYSCOMMAND (none of which get fired when you just move the mouse pointer around over it). If you get furious with the mouse pointer then you the app's CPU usage goes over 60%. Any ideas anyone Mike MikeBzz wrote: My MFC app hogs CPU when the mouse pointer is moved around ov ...Show All

• Visual C# VS 8 Performance makes it unuseable

  Hi, We have converted a large c# solution with 12 projects and about 60 Mb of code from VS7 to VS8 and find that working in the IDE is impossibly slow. We are running on a P4 3.2 Ghz 1 Mb RAM with Windows XP SP2 (clean install). It seems slow in all areas of development. The only area where perfomance is as good or better is in running the release code. So far it's a major backwards step when compared to VS 7. Is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone have any advice on how to make developing large projects in the IDE at least as efficient as it was in VS 7 Regards Steve Crabb Hi, Yes, this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Events.get_TextEditorEvents - LineChanged Problem

  Hello, I'm writing an add-in in VS.NET 2003 and need to wire up the TextEditorEvent.LineChanged event for an individual document (actually an HTMLDocument).  However, the eventhandler method never seems to get called. Please see code sample below: Basically, the class that the below code is part of (called EditorWindow) is a wrapper for a Window object along with some corresponding objects and information.  OnInit() gets called when an instance of this class is instantiated and _window is a private global member of the class. Basically, I track instances of EditorWindows in another class that never goes out of scope during the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Search Work Items in VSTS

  Is it just me, or does the lack of a Search feature in Team Explorer make it extremely cumbersome to use We have been using VSTS since Beta 2 to manage and track our projects.  Of course, the number of Work Items has been steadily increasing over time, and we now have over 1500 Work Items (Task, Bugs, Risks, QoS Reqs, etc...).  With so many Work Items, finding a specific Bug/Task/whatever is a tedious process.  Since there is no Search feature in VSTS, I usually export a Query to Excel and use its Search features to find the specific Work Item I am looking for.  Needless to say, this is not the optimal workflow - e ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to execute a container regardless of the checkpoint file?

  I have a situation where I need to make sure a task executes regardless of whether the package starts from a checkpoint or not. Is this possible Here's the scenario: I have a package with 3 tasks {TaskA, TaskB, TaskC} that execute serially using OnSuccess precedence constraints. The package is setup to use checkpoints so that if a task fails the package will restart from that failed task TaskA is insignificant here. TaskB fetches some data and puts it in a raw file TaskC inserts that raw file data into a table. Problem is that the insertion violates an integrity constraint in the database - so it fails. The problem is ...Show All
