• .NET Development List<struct>.Contains(struct) - death by GC

  My program slowed when it shouldn't have, and I traced it to huge amounts of garbage caused by using the List<struct>.Contains(MyItem) function.  Using the CLR profiler, I found out that all of the garbage is two classes: 1) A bunch of boxed MyItems (it's a struct) and 2) Some other class which looks like the function is using reflection (sorry, I didn't write down the name). I think List<struct>.Contains(MyStruct) s ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to upgrade a menu from FoxPro for DOS

  I'm a very old, retired, CCOBOL and ASSEMBLY programmer with some experience with dBase and FoxPro from the command window. A charity has asked me to get an old FoxPro for DOS program working on a donated used computer which contains VFP6.0. I have gone over the data files and they seem to be OK. The indexes have been converted to CDX type and that works. The old DOS program worked by relying on append and browse commands which all work. The nee ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Offline mode help - Finding editable files not checked out
