• .NET Development Check how many references there are to an object

  Hi! I am writing a .NET Compact Framework application, which loads a certain number of controls in a row and displays them to the user (first control A gets loaded and displayed full screen, then control A is replaced with control B, B is replaced with C and so on, but only one control is loaded at a time and each control will also be used only one time). Writing this application for a memory constrained environment (Pocket PC) I added a finalizer to a few controls to see if they got disposed properly, yet they didn't. So I wonder if there is a way to track the number of references to an object so that I can find out what keeps these controls from being collected. One thing to note is that although you have added a finalizer to a cont ...Show All

• SQL Server How to execute multiple stored procedures from a report and return the sum of the values returned from the sp's

  Hi, I am writing a ver complex and highly critical report and since the report is complex, I have created a bunch of stored procedures to handle this. I then created a text dataset to call the sps. In the dataset I have a dynamic sql query that executes those sps and get the values returned from them in a variable. I then add those values together and store them in another declared variable. I want to return this variable from the report so that it shows in the fields list. For this I am writing a single select query for eg: 'Select @amount as Total' But when I click refresh fields, I just get a single column with the name ID and it is not set to any value from the dataset when I go the the fields tab in the dataset. This has b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Multiple Instances of Program in Taskbar

  I notice that when I test my program in debug mode that for every form that I have open (I can have anywhere from 1 to 4 forms open at the same time), a separate instance of my program is shown down in the taskbar (I'm running Windows XP). Is there anyway for me to just have one instance of my program show up in the taskbar Thanks. John Each form has a ShowInTaskbar property. Just set it to False if you don't want the form to appear in the taskbar. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Advice needed: delete old builds using a Task(?)

  I have the following. A build type called "Nighly Build" that is scheduled to run every night. It will drop the output on a shared folder on a server in the following structure: \\server\drops\ProjectA\Nightly Builds\ However after a couple of weeks there will be a lot of nightly builds in this folder. I was wandering what would be a good practice to only keep the Nightly Builds of the last week and delete the ones older than one week Should I add this as a custom task to the "Nightly Build" Build Type Or should I use a batch file or script file and run it on scheduled intervals using the Windows Scheduler Any advice is appreciated or how do you guys deal with this Hi Gabriel, In version 1 we don't have m ...Show All

• .NET Development Validating with XSD: Why is object System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader inaccessable?

  If I am validating an XML with an XSD, I set a handler for XmlReaderSettings.ValidationEventHandler. This method has a property sender, of type object. If I do a break-point in the handles and then use quick-watch to look at the property, I can see that object sender is of type System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader. System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader is not an object I have access to. I am trying to cast object sender as type XsdValidatingReader so I can access the 'Name' property (Trying to get the name of the node that has the error). I can see the value from quick-watch, but cannot access it because I am unable to cast the sender object as XsdValidatingReader. This is the short version of my code: 1 private void MyMethod() 2 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bounding Box Not Rotating Correctly

  I have a bounding box around a rotating object which is positioned at the origin. The object is only rotating about the Z-axis and I'm wanting the bounding box to rotate with it. To achieve this I am translating the bounding box's coordinates by the same rotation matrix as I'm using to rotate the object but it's not working correctly. Instead of rotating the bounding box it just appears to shrink and stretch it. I have written a simple method which just draws lines between the bounding boxes coordinates to display the bounding box which is how I know that the bounding box isn't being rotated correctly. Interestingly enough, the bounding box is always drawn with vertical and horizontal lines, never diagonal lines. So it could be my drawing ...Show All
