• Software Development for Windows Vista FileWatcher sample - Compilation error with .NET 3.0

  I am trying to build the FileWatcher sample from http://blogs.msdn.com/tomlake/archive/2006/05/02/588575.aspx. I get an error in file DefaultEventSubscription.cs at line public class DefaultEventSubscription : System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting.EventSubscription Error: The type or namespace name 'EventSubscription' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting' (are you missing an assembly reference ) As I understand, EventSubscription is obsoleted (may be from .NET 2.0!!).

• .NET Development Remote Systems Network Information

  Hi: I'm looking to obtain networking information from remote computers. In WMI vbscripting, it allows you to specify a computer name and it will tell you all about that system. I've been looking in the IPInterfaceProperties namespace but it appears to only provide information about the local system. If there is nothing in the namespace to do this, is there any other way to use C# to get this information from computers on the network Not sure if WMI could be used in C# Thanks Much, Chuck! You are correct, the System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace has classes only for local machine.

• .NET Development Debug interfaces in real time

  I am thinking of using debugging interfaces to provide flexible diagnostic extensibility to an application running in production. This involves having application to instantiate the debugging interfaces internally and define some breakpoints that will be hit as the application executes (I read about separate debugger thread in 2.0). The code inside the breakpoint will then do some diagnostic activity and let the application go until the next breakpoint is hit. So this is kind of applicaiton debugging itself in its own process at certain points of its execution. Do you think using the debugging interfaces will even be feasible to produce something like this And that it will be stable and have little performance degradation compared to un ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to end loadtest when test completes

  I have a coded webtest which loops through and pull back information on 500 files. Playback of the single user test runs, on average, in under 15 minutes. Now I want to create loadtests of varying # of users to see how end time of the test run is affected. If I set the duration to 1 hour, the loadtest run for the full hour. Is there any way to end the loadtest after all of the virtual users are finished looping through the 500 files Thanks. ~ Lew 1. From the load test editor, set the Percentage of New Users under the scenario to 100. This property is used to control caching in a load test.

• SQL Server Flat file CSV problem

  Hi all, I hope someone can help with a problem i'm having. I want to process a large number of CSV files into various tables in an SQL database. The CSV file contains entries on a row by row basis relating to specific events (indicated by an eventID in column 0). Eventually i think i want to be using a conditional split to process each row seperately depending on the eventID but before i get this far i am having a problem with the source data. Each event can have varying amounts of columns filled in in the CSV file. And each CSV file can have multiple event types in it. The flat file manager seems to merge a number of different rows into one within the preview pane. It seems to ignore the end of row delimiter of CrLf. Can anyone please hel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sampling method of Performance Tool does not generate any report!?

But this time the tool does not generate any report under the Reports folder. Is there any limitation on the tool Or any special configuration needs to be set Hey John, I was just scrubbing the forums when I noticed that your question had not been answered. After collecting data with the profiler it should always generate a report or give you a warning that no data was collected in the profiling run.

• .NET Development Enum & argument to routine -- how to spot the Enum
