• .NET Development Thread Memory consumption

  It seems that starting a managed Thread in .net 2.0 allocates 1MB of memory. I created a quick and dirty sample to reproduce this behaviour, it creates 100 threads and each thread sleeps for 10 seconds. Memory usage (while all threads are live), 100MB when compiled with the c++/cli or c# .net 2.0 compiler. Same code ported and compiled with VS.NET 2003 allocates just 3 MB. It has to be that I'm doing something wrong, can anybody put some light on this Srdjan // -------------100MB, cli/c++ .net 2.0 using namespace System; using namespace System::Threading; using namespace System::Diagnostics; ref class Work { public: static void DoWork() { ...Show All

• SQL Server How to launch a SSIS package from VB or whatever

  Dear all, I am looking for any snippet of code where you can launch a SSIS package by DMO or VB 6.0. I read that it was posible to call dts.runtime assembly from VB 6.0 but at first it might be converted or something like that. Issue comes from the moment that we’ve got an ASP 3.0 scheduler for hundreds of dts and now we have to migrate them to sql25k. Thanks in advance for any info regarding this, On Books online at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337077.aspx there's an extensive coverage on how to run SSIS packages remotely. You may need to be a bit seasoned developer to go through it and run it though, as the documentation is not a step-by-step instruction. Rgds, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project/Solution Hierarchy

  I am in the process of migrating our code from VS6 to VS2005 with Source Control going from VSS to TFS. We are building separate DLLs that form our overall products, but I regard each DLL as a separate product. This means that we have lots of shared source files in the existing projects, where the sharing is handled by VSS. Moving to TFS means that Sharing is no longer an option - so I want to just copy all of the shared source files to a single location and re-link the solutions to those as I port them from VS6. Unfortunately, my directory hierarchy isn't allowing me to do this. For example, our solution for Socket communications component is at: Claricom/Transport Layer/CLSocket but the Common Files folder is at: Claric ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Sorting Numerical Strings

  Hi, Have tried to sort the columns containing numerical strings in a DataGridView, seems to misplace the very first or very last row off by one index. For example in an ascent sort, the first row is the second smallest and the second row contains the smallest number. When, the rest of the numbers seem to be sorted properly. It seems as I need to set the colum sorting option to the programatical mode, and use a sorting algorithm to do this externally. Any suggestions, or any more straight forward way to do this Best Regards, Reza Bemanian right click on the grid,. if the column is autogenerated, then add a column and set the propertyname property to the name as the field in the database. if the colu ...Show All
