• Windows Forms A Memory problem related to Window size

  After my program (a WinForm app) started, it cost about 70MB memory(from statistic of Task Manger). However, after I minimize the main window, it changed to 5MB, then I restore it to maximized state, it cost about 17MB memory. In all situation, the virutal memory cost is the same. Could anyone explains this Thanks! Hi Lei, The behavior you're seeing is actually true for all Windows applications, not just .NET applications.  You can find a decent overview of what's going on here: http://www.itwriting.com/dotnetmem.php -Shawn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Different behavior between .sln and .sln.proj file

  Hi I just discovered an interresting issue. I have created my own targets file that are called from my project file called Testproject.proj. I have changed the import line in the proj to look like this  <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)..\MyCustomTask.targets" /> The interresting thing is that when I run my Msbuild command on the solution(Testsolution.sln) that contain the proj file it does not resolve SolutionDir correctly. But when I run MSBuild on the generated  Testsolution.sln.proj SolutionDir does resolve correctly. Here is the output with the command: MSBuild Testsolution.sln Microsoft (R) Build Engine Version 2.0.5 ...Show All

  Are there adapters available to connect to SSIS for 1. Siebel 2. IBM MQ Please let me know what are the alternatives if they don't exist.

At a very very high level BizTalk is for interactive real-time integration typically on small data packets whereas SSIS is batch and works on much large ...Show All

• Windows Forms Collections and Properties

  Quick question, right now if I wanna say change all the columns in my datagridview to notsortable, I am itterating through them, but what I am wondering is if there is anyway to set a property on collections of the same items without itterating. I have no idea if this is possible but if it was, I would have to think it would be more efficient. Just interested thanks Arrays and List<T> support ForEach() which can do that.  Collection and Collection<T> do not support this operation but you could create wrapper classes (if possible) to do it.  Ultimately though it'll still boil down to a ...Show All
