• Visual Studio Express Editions ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected - CLR unable to switch contexts

  I'm using VS Express (VB) and have a Windows form that uses the My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories to get a list of files in a directory and then using the My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile to copy the files in the directory to a new location. As each file is copied I'm updating a ListBox (adding an item). After about 2-3 files the ListBox is no longer updated (even tried Refreshing the ListBox and/or Form) and if there are very many files I get the ContextSwitchDeadlock error but I can hit continue and the process will finish. Only after all of the files are copied and the process is complete does the ListBox show all of the added items. H ...Show All

• Visual C# Use of "this" keyword

• SQL Server Modified Stored Procedure Scripts Wrong ANSI Settings

  Query Analyzer for 2000 was smart enough to realize that a stored procedure was created with the ANSI settings like such: set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF go However, when I use SSMS to modify a stored procedure from the context menu in the object explorer, instead get: set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON Which is not even the default for my connection. I'm working on a legacy code base with tons of double quoted strings, so I really need the ANSI settings to stay where they were without fighting the SQL editor about it. Any suggestions Is this a bug I'm using SQL2005 RTM. Matthew Mart ...Show All
