• Windows Forms Object Binding Error in CAB application

  When trying to create an Object Binding source I get the following error in the Data Source Configuration Wizard. An Unexpected Error Occured. Error Message: Could not load file or Assebly 'Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder, Version=2.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, etc' or one of it's dependancies.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Random crash with mediaelement after 12+ hours (memory leak?)

  Hi, I've got 1 mediaelement running in the background - 1280x720 res and then 6 smaller media elements (340x170) running in front of it each using the geometry mask to mask off the corners. All I'm doing is letting the videos play -- no memory management, just when the video finishes I then seek it back to 0 and play again. The entirety of the code is about 40 lines of xaml and cs. It uses about 50% cpu usage. This works for an upwards of almost 24 hours nonstop and then crashes. It has crashed after 12 hours as well. The memory usage is fine and the vm looks fine on the computer. There is no ever increasing memory leak. The computer its running on is a p4 dual core, 3.0 GS 7900 Nvidia Graphics card and 93.71 drivers running Windows XP wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to have only a single instance of form running

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using XAML across dll's

  Hi, Let met start with the problem. I have 3 projects, 2 class libs (dll) and 1 application. In project 1 (dll) I defined a xaml file with code behind, (.xaml, .xaml.cs), I will refer to the class as gridContent, as it has a grid as its root element.

• Visual FoxPro Problem after upgrading to VFP9 from VFP7

  The following procedure works fine VFP7. When a second user tries to lock the IDFILE before the first one unlocks it he receives the message and the PROCEDURE returns. After upgrading to VFP9 the second user instead of the previous message he gets a message from VFP "An error has occurred: File is in use by another user. etc". He gets a similar message if he even tries to open for read the IDFILE while in VFP7 there was no such problem.

• Visual Studio Team System Coded webtest datasource problem

When trying to run the unmodified newly generated coded test, I'm getting this error: Error WebTest1Coded WebTests Could not run web test 'WebTest1Coded' on agent 'MachineName': Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

• Visual Studio Team System profiler says my project is creating a lot of strings, byte[] and type[]

  I have run the profiler to check what objects are being instantiated by my project and it says that I am creating an awful lot of strings, byte arrays and type arrays. A lot of them (50,000) are coming from an external library I am using (oradirect .net, an oracle driver) but there are also quite a few coming from the constructor of my usercontrol (10,000). My usercontrol is nothing huge just a couple of toolbars, grids and a tree, all with no data. I have emailed the people who write the oracle driver but their profiler (AQTime) but didnt find anything: http://www.crlab.com/forums/viewtopic.php t=9112 . Here are some screenshots of the problem, which also shows the byte and type arrays: http://www.kevinandkiran.com/screenshot ...Show All

• Visual C# probem with generics

• SQL Server Replace Non-Numeric Values With Zero
