• .NET Development CLR and thread deadlocks

  Hello, I'm hosting the CLR (.NET 2.0) in an unmanaged C++ app. The CLR is used for calling C# plugin functions through IDispatch. The C# plugins are COM visible classes and are created from the app main UI thread. They are mostly used for accessing the app through a COM primary interop assembly generated with TLBIMP.EXE. The interop between C# and the app is achieved through the default Microsoft COM wrappers. This is all working fine but I'm having a problem when the C# functions are called by the app from a worker thread. At this point the CLR attempts to interop with the app via the UI main thread which is causing a deadlock because that thread is locked while the worker thread is executing. From what I see in the call stack (b ...Show All

• SQL Server Virtual Machines - for SQL SERVER

  Does anyone have any documents that show the performance hit of moving sql server 2000 from physical hardware to Virtual Server 2005 or VMWare for that case...

• Visual Studio VB.Net ReportViewer Local Mode Windows Forms Project

  I work in VB.Net and I've got windows forms project that uses the ReportViewer in local mode.  When I run my report using Visual Studio 2005 everything looks fine.  The form pops up, a little green progress image displays, and the report loads just the way I want it to.  However, if I run the .exe outside of Visual Studio this is not the case.  The form pops up, but instead of the green progress image, the report displays the message "Report processing was cancelled." and a few seconds later the report displays just fine.  I've downloaded sample projects of a similar nature that were written in C# and I do not get this same problem.  I tried downloading Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and installing but that did not ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to get "References" to show up in the Solution Explorer again...

  In VS 2003, under each project, there used to be a tree node for "References", so you could change/view them on the fly. Now, in 2005, that tree node is gone. The only way I've found that you can get to project references is by opening MyProject and going to the References tab. Is there any way to get the tree node back in the Solution Explorer so I can see my references without opening MyProject P.S. I've noticed that the "References" tree node still exists for C# projects.
