• Windows Forms Merging arrays

  Hi All, I am trying to find answer for this for the past 5 days and I didn't come across a reasonable solution. What I am looking for is ... I am getting no.of two dimentional arrays from one part of the program. And I need to write these array data to Excel. If I get say 50 arrays, then I need to call the Excel writing function 50 times, which opens, writes and closes excel object each time when it get called. This results poor performance. So I am looking for better alternative. I came across with two solutions a) Keep the target excel open and close only at lost b) Merge all the arrays into a single array and call excel only once. I feel option b) is more suitable for me as in case of a) I need to open multiple exce ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customize Team Project Creation

  In the past, our team has stored items in Source Safe that weren't necessarily associated with a project we'd created in Visual Studio. With the source control in Team Foundation Server, we'd like a separate top-level folder where certain project artifacts (executable utilities, documents, etc...) not associated with a Visual Studio 2005-created project could be managed under source control. Is there a recommended way for this to be done using source control in TFS Again, the key is that we'd ideally like a shared top-level file rather than having to put these shared items under a team folder that was tied specifically to projects in Visual Studio. Thanks, David Madrian In order to get ...Show All

• SQL Server "Timeout expired" occurs in the middle of a stored procedure

  greets all, i have a express set up and running a table filled with a few batches of records. Each batch has approx. 20k records. I have a program that inserts a new batch into the table. afterwards, it makes a call to a stored procedure. this SP compares the last batch with the latest batch and marks the records as additions, updated, or deleted records (which will be used by the program). the problem im experiencing is that the comparison algorithm is getting the "Timeout expired" error returning back to my program. the SP seems to take roughly 1-3 minutes to make the comparisons. i tried setting the execution timeout to 0 (no timeout) in Options->Query Execution->SQL Server->General but i still encounter the proble ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System File Recovery in TFS

  We are using Visual Source Safe 6.0d and recently ran into a problem where some of our files were corrupted because our VSS server ran out of disk space. Our VSS admin ran the VSS analyze utility and it found and fixed a host of errors, however a certain file still had all of its history lost. Now the only solution is to restore the entire VSS database to another server and recover the one lost file we need. Does TFS provide any ability to recover a single file without having to restore the entire database Note that I don't mean "roll back" a single file because in this instance the entire history for the file became corrupt. Does TFS have any additional source control features that would have saved us in this instance ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Errors in MSDN Library's Web Development section

  The MSDN Library’s Web Development section is an important reference source for many web developers. Its accuracy is therefore important. But I can’t seem to find anywhere to report errors in the documentation.

• .NET Development Exceptions in Timers.Timer.Elapsed

  Hello .NET gurus!!  I have attached a sample of code that demonstrates an issue I am running into.  An unknown exception occurs in the Elapsed event of a System.Timers.Timer.  I would like to catch these exceptions globally for logging, etc.  I would 'like' to avoid creating a generic exception handler in the Elapsed event.  In the past I have used the AppDomain.UnhandedException event for global exceptions, but in this situation the exception never falls into that event. Ultimately the app will be running as a Windows Service.  I am developing as a Console app. Here are some of the things I have been thinking about but don't know the answer to.  Does the AppDomain.Unh ...Show All
