• Visual Studio Team System time synchronizing

• Visual C# Thread Sleep Functionality without the Sleep

  Are there any alternatives that would leave a responsive program that would accomplish a pause of a couple of seconds besides a timer of any kind I want to do something like Thread.Sleep(5000); but that causes an unresponsive program. I want to avoid timers as well. Are there any alternatives at all It's either one or the other. If the thread does sleep then it cannot be responsive. Normally you use timers for that but since you don't want timers the only option left is to create another thread and sleep in that thread. Not sure if this helps but without some more information it's the best you can get. Why do you want to "pause" and what "pause" means anyway ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Random text generator

  Hi, I'm very new to VB Express, I'm taking a college class about it. For a project, I would like to display a set of random statements when the user clicks a button, like a fortune cookie program. So when the user clicks btnSaying, I want one of eight statements to display. It is probably far more simple than I think, but for some reason I can't figure out how to set this up. I've read all kinds of different posts about random numbers and letters and arrays and things like that. I think I might just be lost. Please help me.

• Visual Studio Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document.

  I have been 'developing' with Visual Studio 2005 for about 3 weeks now - primarily .NET class libraries developed with VB. I am coming from VB6, although I did a lot of development with Visual C++ several years ago, so I am still trying to come to terms with the debugger. I have read many threads posted by people who are having a problem with breakpoints, specifically with the message in the subject line above. There have been many suggestions on how to fix this problem. Sometimes these suggestions work, sometimes they do not. Most of the suggestions involve deleting DLL and PDB files and rebuilding, or restarting Visual Studio. None of them suggest any problem with something the developer has done or any problem with the configuration of ...Show All
