• Visual Studio Team System Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains

  While working on my Automaton framework for build automaton with Team Foundation Server I've come upon this rather cryptic exception. It seems to happen only once in a while, something I'm able to do successfull requests without this exception. What I have is an .ashx which returns some HTML content to my .aspx, and the .ashx is called using Xml Http javascript call (AJAX). The error occurs when I try to read the .WorkItems property on an instance of the Changeset class. Full exception stack: [ArgumentException: Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting a decent framerate in C# DX9

  So I'm currently trying different ways of working with 3D.. as a test, I tried making the same small demo in XNA and MDX, and for some reason the Managed DirectX C# project runs at a much lower framerate (47ms per frame for MDX vs 25ms per frame for XNA, i.e. 21fps MDX vs 40fps XNA, even though my XNA project actually includes a full-screen bloom shader pass!) I'm even using the recommendations from here , although they didn't make an appreciable difference (I hadn't implemented the frame time counter yet, but it was still visibly slower than the XNA version of the project). For the record, the 'project' is simply a textured mesh with specular lighting which rotates according to the position of the mouse. Any suggestions for where my bottl ...Show All

• SQL Server Sequential UPDATEs to a single row from XMLDOC only UPDATEs the first XPATH queried element found...

  It appears that we may have fallen foul to the msxml change under the covers between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 here. The functionality that we would expect is that we can UPDATE one row in a TABLE multiple times based on the number of XML elements found in the XPATH Query. This worked in SQL 2000, but seems to only UPDATE the first element found in SQL 2005. In Easy Speak: 5 elements in xml doc 1 row in table is updated by the first xml element found The same row in table is now updated by the second xml element found The same row in table is now updated by the third xml element found .... and so on until all xpath queried elements are done... In SQL: CREATE TABLE #debug ( id int, col1 int, col2 int, col3 int, col4 int, col5 int) DECL ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image inside control library does not show

  Hi, I have a simple control library that contains an Image. I added a .jpg file to the control library project ("myImage.jpg"). Then I set the source of my Image as "\myImage.jpg". Inside E xpression Blend, in the design panel of my user control, the image is shown correctly. However when I create another project (a .exe) and use my control library, the image is not shown anymore. Why Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm new to WPF but I did not found any solution so far. Thanks Francesco How stupid I am... I simply needed to use a relative path: <image source="myImage.jpg"> instead of absolute. I don't know exactly why when I edit the control in Blend it also works with the absolute path. ...Show All

• Windows Forms opening a windows form from a .net windows service

  I have created a windows service in .net and a form to control and monitor the service which I would like to open onStart event of the service. I have tried allowing the service access to the desktop and calling the form but have had issues with this. I think the best way to do this would be to run the form .exe. Does anyone know the code (C#) to do this I am finding it harder than expected to find an example on the Web. Or does anyone know of any better ways to accomplish this From my results I believe that is correct. Which is why rather than showing a form I wanted to run the form .exe from the service so it opened as a seperate process. My final goal is to have a form which sits in the icon t ...Show All
