• Visual Studio Team System TokenizeCompoundWord not tokenizing as expected

  I'm running the VS2005 integrated version of FxCop but debugging by using the stand-alone IDE and I've noticed that I'm getting some funny results (visible in debug) from the RuleUtilities.TokenizeCompoundWord method when tokenizing words with underscores in them E.g. EMPTY_ARGUMENT_ERROR is tokenizing to "EMPT", "Y", "ARGUMEN", "T", "ERROR" instead of "EMPTY", "ARGUMENT", "ERROR" Also I have come across situations where a single 'word' tokenizes to nothing! E.g. variable name "x" tokenizes to "" Has anyone else come across these problems Are they known issues Is there going to be a fix This is causing issues in my custom ru ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PerCall storage

  Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is someway of creating a per call storage area. What i have is and object that is passed using a message header on the operation call. On the service side the object decodes the message header to rehydrate it's and then become available for service code. What i want is for service code to be able to call MyClass.Current, what i had at first was upon access of the static property it checks to see if a static variable is null, if it is it then decodes from the message header and stores the decoded object in the static variable. The problem with this is that the static variable is shared across all services & operations. So if another client changes a property of the object that is passed across the m ...Show All

• Visual Basic Synchronize settings button isn't working

  Using VS2005 version 8.0.50727.42 RTM, I am experimenting with application settings to add some persistance to a VB windows app. Changing the scope of a setting from User to Application leads to a Configuration system failed to initialize exception at run time. I eventually realized that the Synchronize button on the Settings tab isn't working. It always gives me a dialog No user.config files were found in any of the following locations: [OK] No locations appear to have been searched, even though an out-of-date user.config file does exist in ...\Local Settings\Application Data\... Of course I can manually delete the user.config file to work around this but it would be nice if I could get the Synchronize button to do it for me. Do ...Show All

• Visual C++ Char* issue on Migrating from VC6 to VC8 (2005)

  Hi, I have a function in VS-6 which displays Helzo. (Project settings I changed in VS-6 are: In C++ tab the Warning level is set to "Level4" and Debug info as " Program Database") void CVCTempDlg::OnOK() { char* pChar; pChar = "Hello"; *(pChar+3) = 'z'; AfxMessageBox(pChar); } When I try to use the same function in Visual Studio.Net 2005 it compiles fine but throws an exception during run time. void CtempDlg::OnBnClickedOk() { char* pChar; pChar = "Hello"; *(pChar+3) = 'z'; AfxMessageBox(pChar); } I tried the following : IsBadWritePtr, memncpy, functions to set the 3rd char to Z, but no use.

• Visual C# WebBrowser 2005 Document.Selection

• Windows Forms SelectionStart for control object

  I have several textboxes that I only want the user to enter numbers into. So I wrote a little routine to do this for a specific txtbox. I added the code txtbox.SelectionStart=100; to ensure the cursor always ends up at the end of the numbers. Worked fine until I moved the code to it's own procedure (probably I should call it a method) anyway... private void DelText ( Control tb) { Regex Num= new Regex ( "[0-9]" ); int l=0; l=tb.Text.Length; for ( int i=0; i<l; i++) { if (Num.IsMatch ((tb.Text.Substring (i, 1)))) { } else { tb.Text=tb.Text.Substring (0, i)+tb.Text.Substring (i+1, l-i-1); } } tb.SelectionStart=100; } now I get 'Control does not contain a definition of SelectionStart', Ho ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Test Endpoint Connection

  Hi, I am trying to develop my version of the ChannelFactory class that has some built in functionalty to endpoint failure. The general idea is that consuming application calls my static method specifying the contract and endpoint name to connect to. The class can then make this connect and confirm that the remote service is available and if not it connect to a know backup machine. The problem i am having is that my class inherits from ClientBase and exposes the static but I cannot find anything to check if the connection was made. The code i have in the static has the following code inside it : returnValue = new ServiceFactory <TServiceContract>(endpoint); returnValue.Open(); I would have expected the open method to ...Show All

• Visual C++ Confused about Return Value Optimization

  Hi everyone, The return value optimization (RVO) eliminates temporaries for functions return by value. Scott Meyers wrote about utilizing RVO in "More effective C++" and Ayman B. Shoukry wrote an article about named return value optimization (NRVO) in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/nrvo_cpp05.asp Those articles left me wondering: in what cases is trying to utilize the RVO beneficial Is there something I have to do as a programmer to help the compiler to utilize the RVO the best way that it can Both articles suggest that I should. I've tried to put this into practise. VS 2005 does a very good job optimizing and I think if you read mr Shoukry's article, ther ...Show All
