• Visual Studio Team System CTP7 CPU Very Busy

  On several occasions Data Dude has stopped responding while using from 50 to 90% of the cpu. It's happened while performing a data compare, while unloading a project or while trying to close a project. Some times I see the error message " Failed to retrieve msbuild property DBProduct from the project file ." Sometimes it comes back, and others it will run for hours if I let it. Has anyone seen this issue before Some further information. Once I start seeing this problem in a given project it will persist even if I forcibly close VS and reopen the project. However I've noticed that if I delete the .dat file for the project and then reopen it the project is stable again, at least for a while unt ...Show All

• SQL Server Automatic failover failure

  Hello, we're running a mirrored database with High Availability for Automatic failover including a Witness instance for a web application. When doing a manual failover on the database in Management studio, the roles are switched correctly and the database is in "Principal, Synchronized" and "Mirror, Synchronized/Restoring" mode. The web application has no problems switching servers by using client failover with the jdbc driver. There is no problem accessing the database with Management Studio. However, if we stop the SQL service on the Principal server the role is automatically failed over to the Mirror server by the Witness. The database is then in the mode "Principal, Disconnected" which should be f ...Show All

• Visual C# Method Parameter Naming Style

  Sometimes I have a method that initializes a class by passing in a few values. In this situation, I generally want to set the value of a private member from the parameter value passed in. (In other words, I don't want to "Set" the property and trigger code in the Set method.) So my code would look like this (** this obviously won't work.. hence, my question... *) public class MyClass{ int x; int y; public void Init( int x, int y ) { x = x; y = y; } I have read many suggestions on naming styles, but so far I haven't seen an example of the "right" way to handle this. I've played with different prefixes and other tricks to rename the method parameter, and of course any of them work , but I ...Show All

  Hello, I am currently putting a team together to create new Xbox Live Arcade games. They will be using the XNA development tool and the projects will be financed by myself.

• SQL Server YTD

  I need to create a YTD calculated measure that stops computing down the time hierarchy once it gets to todays date. I'm using business scorecard manager and it is looking for the last populated cell to determine what "current" is. The measure definition below calculates the YTD that I need but has no way of knowing when to stop even though the [Measures].[Visit Item Count] is null for every day after today, it just carries the last value forward. I need it to return nulls for everyday past today. SUM ( YTD ([Visit Date].[Calendar Year - Quarter - Month - Date]. CurrentMember ),[Measures].[Visit Item Count]) Well, I have figured out what you were trying to tell me to do, which is write an ...Show All

• .NET Development ReflectionOnlyLoad - limited usefulness?

  There are two major limitations (at least as I see it) of the ReflectionOnlyLoad method of the Assembly class that I'm looking for work-arounds for: 1. Assembly methods such as "GetExportedTypes" cannot be called on the assembly object created via ReflectionOnlyLoad. This raises the obvious question: what is the point of ReflectionOnlyLoad if you can't actually reflect on the types of the assembly In addition to the other obvious question: why does ReflectionOnlyLoad return an Assembly object when it doesn't work like other Assembly objects created by other methods Shouldn't it return an object where the methods defined for that object work . 2. Assemblies can only be loaded into the current app domain (and then cannot be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't debug ASP in VS2005

  VS2005 doesn't seem to support debugging ASP pages. Is this really so That's a serious problem if it is. Thanks Jeremy Hi Monica, Thanks for the info.   I am using the "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express"  flavor of VS2005.  It doesn't look like the "attach to process" feature is present.  Is that correct If so, is there another way to enable legacy ASP debugging   I realize that this goes against the intent behind this tool,  but the fact of the matter is that while I'm taking on more and more .NET projects,  I'll be stuck w/ legacy ASP maintenence for quite some time and it'd be nice to use one tool to does both.   I imagine that I'm not alone. ...Show All
