• .NET Development Debugging into CLR core libraries implemented as native code

  It appears that Mdbg does not allow me to place a breakpoint in code that is implemented natively, for example System.Threading.Monitor.Enter. Is this a limitation in Mdbg and if so is there a work-around It would be swell if I could detect whenever the code being debugged is trying to enter a synchronized section of code. Quick, dirty, hacky application demonstrating the problem: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Samples.Debugging.MdbgEngine; using System.Diagnostics; namespace MDbgTest { class Program { private static MDbgBreakpoint breakpoint; // Skip past fake attach event ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions create a control

  I need to know how i can create a control, to control an array of something (in example, sockets or checkboxes) In another post i've seen that i have to create de control and a container How does it works I would enjoy all information!

• Software Development for Windows Vista Persistence questions

  First- I'm just coming back to adding persistence since the beta 1 version of my WF. I find some params that are not documented clearly: WorkflowPersistenceService persistenceService = new SqlWorkflowPersistenceService ( "Initial Catalog=SqlPersistenceService;Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;" , true , new TimeSpan (1, 0, 0), new TimeSpan (0, 0, 10)); The last param "loadingInterval" - does it mean that the wf will be persisted when it has been Idle this long or something else I'd like to only persist when my wf has been idle for 10 seconds, since it can take 5 seconds for an external activity to finish up, and I don't want to persist out in that case. Second - Where can I g ...Show All

• SQL Server Example of SMO or WMI to configure SQL Server port number.

  Hi, Are there any one who give a example of SMO or WMI to set SQL Server port number Actually, you need to use the ServerProtocols namespace from Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi. MSDN doesn't have much good help on this specifically, but I found a couple blogs worth looking at: http://sqlserver2005.de/SQLServer2005/MyBlog/tabid/56/EntryID/19/Default.aspx http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/marathonsqlguy/archive/2006/11/30/25785.aspx <-- This has a good sample of how to look at the properties, it's a short leap to setting them from here. The ServerProtocol topic in BOL is at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.wmi.serverprotocol.aspx . Mike ...Show All

• Windows Forms Clearing a Windows Forms panel containing a DirectX movie

  To Whom It May Concern I am finalizing an application that uses .NET 1.1 and DirectX with a mpeg or avi movie displaying a video of a particular road and section. When I navigate to another road section the panel is not cleared unless another movie is selected. I have tried the dispose method without any luck. My current code is as follows: // dispose of the old video to clean up resources if (video!= null ) { video.Dispose(); //video = null; //videoPanel.Refresh(); videoPanel.Controls.Clear(); //videoPanel.Dispose(); //videoPanel.Update(); } // open a new video video = new Video(file); // assign the win form control that will contain the video video.Owner = videoPanel; ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Book Recommendations

  This sticky here will be used for people to post their C# book recommendations. It will help us keep the forum a bit cleaner than making several topics about book recommendations and also helps everything to be in 1 "spot" and alot of people can see the book recommendations that you have given everyone else in this topic. So please, feel free to post your book recommendations here for developing in C#! :-) If possible, include any links where the person would be able to obtain the book from, and it's ISBN number which would be a big help to everyone!

• SQL Server Need to join two tables using only part of a field from one of the tables.

  I need to join two tables that both have a field called caseid. The field in table 1 is ten numbers and the field in table 2 is 15 numbers. The 10 most significant numbers are consistant in both table 1 and 2. How do I tell the join to only use the 10 most significant numbers from table 2 Or how do I tell the join to ignore the 5 least significant numbers from table 2 Thanks.

• SQL Server Export Format Dropdown display name rsreportserver.config

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XmlSerializer ignores namespace of operation parameters

  I'm migrating an existing ASP .NET web service to WCF. I try to keep as much of the old code as possible, and I want it to be compatible to the old clients, so I use XmlSerializer + basicHttpBinding + aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true". My web service operations use custom classes as parameters which I generated from xsd files by using xsd.exe. Here's an example of such a class: [System.CodeDom.Compiler.
