• Visual Studio Team System How to add custom counters to default graph in load test

  Hi, I've a set of counters which I monitor when load tested and this counter set does not change. Is there any way to modify .trx file to show custom counters plotted by default I now see that only UserLoad, Requests/sec and AverageResponseTime are being plotted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.I'm assuming that the default counters to plot has been specified somewhere in the .trx file. I had a glance at the trx file but couldn't find the position to add my counter set. Any idea where can I specify the counters so that they are plotted by default when I open the .trx file Thanks in advance. You should not add them to the .trx. The .trx has the state for a specific run. If you want to add specific counters that are graphed ...Show All

• .NET Development How come Console.WriteLine() does not work any more

  Hi all, I have a C# winform application. If users run it from the command lines and pass a /Help or / to it, it does not invoke the winform, but instead uses the Console.WriteLine to display the help and then exit. I know for sure this works before, at least prior to my upgrading the VS2005 with SP1. Now suddenly, the WriteLine() does not work any more. If I enter /Help or / , the WriteLine() basically executed but does not write any thing on the console. And then the program exits ...peacefully. Note that I debug the code and indeed the WriteLine()s are executed. Within the VS IDE, it does write the messages to the output panel. But from the DOS command, nothing is displayed. Here is the code: static int Main( string ...Show All

• SQL Server BizTalk and SQL Server 2000

  We're running BizTalk 2004 on top of SQL Server 2000. Due to the fact that BizTalk uses Distributed Transactions BizTalk requires a customized backup solution that uses the BEGIN TRANSACTION ... WITH MARK syntax. How does the WITH MARK work We run a couple of very large transaction loads at various times during the week. These loads ran the BizTalkMsgBoxDb transaction log up to 18 Gig (the data file was only at 360 Meg). As the transaction log got bigger and bigger the server got slower and slower. Finally the custom backup job started erroring out on a memory error. Eventually the backup jobs stopped running due to an out of memory condition and then my users got locked out due to an out of memory condition. After I did some research (I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splash screens, threads, and Quasimodo forms.

  I'm using VB Express with an application that I've added a splash screen using the properties setting "Application" tab and setting the splash screen dropdown box to the name of my splash screen form. When the application starts, the splash screen is displayed while the main form begins to paint behind it. The form outline is painted followed by some (but not all) the various controls such as lables, text boxes, etc. and then stops painting about half way through the process. The main form remains "half-formed" for about 8 to 10 seconds while the the main form application performs a process of loading a dataset with about 400k records. It then completes the painting process and is ready for user input. How do I keep the ...Show All
