• Visual Studio Team System Virtual User Synchronization Point

  Is there a way to have virtual users wait at a given line of code until a certain number of users are doing so and then let all waiting user continue I want to test multiple users performing the same action at the same time with an application under load. Thanks, John Hi Ayman. Yes, that would do it. However, I would like to keep it a little more controlled than that. I need to go 6 pages deep into my site before I get to the page I want synchronous requests to occur on. Page response time could "desynchronize" the requests. I would rather not play the numbers game and dump a bunch of users on it ...Show All

  Hello and thank you in advance to anyone that reads this who may be able to shed some light on the problem.

• Visual Basic include DLL widthout make reference....

  Hi everyone. I use an external DLL and I want inlay the DLL into my exe program. (I don't want copy the exe program and the dll file, just 1 file!) How can I do that and I can call the dll file in the code Hello! I would recommend embedding the external dll into your assembly and then using reflection to locate and load it. That would allow you to compile it all as one file. There are some fancy linkers on the market that allow you to do this but your scenario is pretty straightforward. I hope this points you in the right direction. Christopher ...Show All

Programmatically, I search for and select a chunk of text with the following code: rtbEdit.SelectionStart = rtbEdit.Find("u#10"); rtbEdit.SelectionLength = intUtteranceTextLength; This works fine except that the selected text is at the bottom edge of the box.

Is there any way to detect and control the vertical position of the selected text   Tha ...Show All
