• Visual Studio Hot to get project of currently opened item

  Hi all, I've created an editor based on the BasicEditor sample. If the item that is open in my editor is part of a project, I would like to scan the files and references of the containing projects for other files that might contain information I want to use in my editor (more of less like using classes form other files or referenced assemblies). I've seen the SolutionHierachyTraversal sample, but this samples traverses the entire solution or all projects. I just want to traverse the project containing the file my editor is working on (not nesseseraly the active project). I think when I know which file I have open in my editor I also can get a reference to the project containing that file. How can I get a reference to the project i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TrackBar dilemma ...

  I using a TrackBar to show current elapsed time of audio. As the audio is played back, the trackbar will be updated. The trackbar also used as seek function. However, here come the issue. Whenever the trackbar 's value is updated, the position is been changed. There seem to be chicken and egg problem. private void uiTrkTime_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { control.currentPosition = uiTrkTime.Value; } The trackbar revert to startpoint whenever the audio play a while because of "deadlock". The trackBar event API seem to be poor designed as it does not take care of even the simplest case. Please do tell me how to resolve this issue. thank When you are updating your trackbar's value on your timer tick ( ...Show All

• Visual C# Pause and Resume

  Hi, How can I pause the application executing and resume it Thanks, Aya. Hi, what exactly do you mean From user's point of view, when application is started, it just sits there waiting for user to do something to it.

• Visual Studio Team System TFSWarehouse shows data but reports come up empty

  Hi, The built-in reports (e.g. remaining work, related work item, etc.) that come with the project template show 0 for number of work items. I checked the warehouse database tables and do see the changes to the existing tasks. I've enabled the security permissions in the Team project, the SQL Server reporting services and the Windows share point service admin, but still don't see improvement. The number of work items shown in the reports is 0 no matter if I use VS2005, the report site or the project portal to bring them up. What else can be missing What can I try Thanks. Hi, thanks, I figured it out. The default fields used by the reports are not the same as those used in the work items, so the report ...Show All

• Visual C# operator overloading vs operator overriding

  what is the difference between operator overloading and operator overriding thanks in advance for ur replies No they are distinct things. Overriding changes the behavior defined in a base class.

• .NET Development string.Split() method memory management - potential problems ??

  Hi friends, I've been using the string.Split(Char []) method to split two strings and compare them item-by-item. You may assume that I don't need to simply compare the entire strings (for out-of-scope reasons). The MSDN documentation says this about this method - The Split methods allocate memory for the return value array object and a String object for each array element. If managing memory allocation is critical in your application, consider using the IndexOfAny method, and optionally the Compare method, to locate a substring within a string. Does this mean that even if my array, in which I hold the split-string, goes out of scope the memory allocated by Split is still occupied and garbage collector does not free it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Managed BitmapEffect

  Is it true that custom BitmapEffects can only be implemented in unmanaged code OK, so the full range of a BitmapEffect's capabilities, optimized for speed (ie using pointer ops) can't be allowed in a sandbox XBAP setting, but it would be possible to implement a slower, but safe, pattern. A simple but useful solution would be to provide a safe base CustomBitmapEffect that only does per-pixel operations (the derived class can only override a "protected Color ProcessPixel(int x, int y, Color clr)" method thus avoiding illegal memory writes etc). Or maybe this can already be done but I'm missing how Also, is there any way to composite graphics with operations other than just alpha blending Like Photoshop's Modes: Add, Mulitp ...Show All

• Visual Basic Limits on Memory Use?

  Hi all, I was testing the VB2005 Express and decided to create a large array in the IDE. My 32bit XP Pro machine has 3.5GB available and I thought I'd check to see how much I could use with VB. I understand that there is a 2GB process limit, but I thought I just check that out. My code: Class Form1 Private Sub CreateArrayToolStripMenuItem_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateDataTableToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim bigarray(1000000, 250) As Single End Sub Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click End End Sub Private Sub Form1_L ...Show All
