• Visual Studio Help using the Visual Studio DIA SDK for debugging...

  I’m trying to provide myself a call stack dump whenever my code causes an exception, and I want to use the DIA SDK rather than ImageHlp API. Ie I want to see the callstack when my program crashes, rather like the callstack is shown in VisualStudio, except I’m not using an out of process debugger – I want to do this in my own app. The DIA SDK provides some COM interfaces to support what I want to do, but unfortunately there is no documentation. All I know is that IDiaStackWalkerHelper and IDiaStackWalkFrame must be implemented by the client. As to exactly how, remains a mystery! And this is where you step in! Let m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TestTools.LoadTesting source samples

  Hi I am trying to get a feel for some of the customization possible in unit tests. The MSDN2 doco on TestTools.LoadTesting is fairly sparse on examples while TestTools.UnitTesting fares better. >> Does someone know of a URL with some good examples The general drift would be customized attributes before the unit test which needed special handling when the test was run . Many thanks Hi Greg, I am not sure that u have visited this link or not, it has sample code for creating custom attribute for unit test. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/84c42s56.aspx#cpconcustomattr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal reports XI R2 and Visual Studio 2005 issues

  Has anyone got this error after updating (fresh install) to Crystal Reports XI R2 with reports in Visual Studio 2005 I am posting here because I am not sure if it is a Crystal reports XI R2 bug or a Visual Studios 2005 problem. I thought it might be that my programming was wrong so I tried the samples that come with R2. If anything these should work since the people who developed the software wrote the examples. Even the examples gave me these same errors. Custom Tool is CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator I have these refernces: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine - v2.0.50526 CrystalDecisions.Enterpris ...Show All

• SQL Server query builder

  hi friends  i've one question is it possible to use SMO to replicate "Query Designer" programmatically i want to write a query builder for end users and am wondering which objects in SMO i need to use to achieve what i want. any ideas on this one much appreciated. Thank you very much for your help. You can use SMO for part of the problem, but not all. You can use SMO to obtain a listing of tables, columns, and views and various properties (e.g. keys, datatypes, and etc). But this is no way in SMO to provide it some tables and conditional statements to generate a query. Peter  ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why is DataGridView so slow?

  I created a databound DataGrid, and then researched DataGridView to find it would fit my needs better. I have a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn as my first column in my DataGridView then set its datasource to a DataSet. Sometimes the DataSet may contain a table with over 1000 rows. The user has a button that will select all checkboxes in the DataGridView. It takes about 5 minutes for my foreach loop to complete this task with the DataGridView. With the DataGrid, it was milli-seconds. What is going on Any suggestions Here is some of the code.

• SQL Server Source and Destination table equality

  I have searched the SSIS forum for an answer to my question, and I think I have found my answer but what i have read does not come out directly and answer my question. I am attempting to create an SSIS package that imports data from a Visual Foxpro table into a SQL Server table. From what I have read, the source and destination tables must match column for column. Is this correct My SQL Server table has a few more columns in it. However, i consistently get "Cannot create connector. The destination component does not have any available inputs...blah".
