• Visual Studio Team System Can I use load tests to get these results?

  Hi, I've been trying to figure out how do use the load tests to achieve what my team needs. I've asked different questions and got very usefull answers, but still can't quite figure out how to get the results we need. So, I decided to just describe what we need and hopefully someone knows how to do it or will send me in the right direction. We have a web application that we host for our clients. We suspect that there's a memory leak in one of the pages. Over time, our .Net application has to be restarted and we suspect that it's due to the memory leakage. We would like to use Visual Studio load tests to find out the relationship between how many times this page gets loaded and how much memory is being used (to see that the more the p ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) taskpane: automatic flow

  Hello I'm designing a task pane: different taskpaneblocks , each block has a caption and a contentpart . The caption has a button: when clicked, the contentpart will collapse/expand. Now I want the other taskpaneblocks to move up when an upper block is collapsed (and move down when an upper block is expanded). I thought there should be a control that takes care of this, like a stackpanel, dockpanel, grid. But none of these three does this. Am i missing a property Or should i take another control Or does a taskpane already exist in WPF Thanks, Have you looked at <Expander> <Page xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x= ...Show All

• SQL Server Open Source DB Structures

  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good site to find open source database structures (such as ERD's, scripts, or something of that nature) I think I have a pretty good handle on database design, but it would be nice to have a resource like that so that I can compare the design of my DB to DB's that people (smarter and more experienced than me) have created for similar purposes. What I'm thinking of is a site like Open Source Web Design (www.oswd.org) for Databases. Anyone know of anything You can check out http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/ for a bunch of sample schema. It's a place to start. Mike ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Event subscription filter - limited to System fields only?

  I'm trying to subscribe to a WorkItemChanged event with a filter expression that uses custom fields -- without success. I've been using Naren's handy tool from: http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/07/26/679440.aspx rather than bissubscribe.exe directly. "System" fields (title, area...) work fine, but no email arrives when I use other fields, including both "Microsoft.VSTS" fields and my own custom fields. Do only System fields work Must I write a web-service extension to check other fields Thanks, Liel Biran OK, good to know that. However, from this I gather that if I use a filter on a field like Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority , I should receive emails wh ...Show All

• Visual C# what is Impersonation

  can someone expain me what is Impersonation from an ASP.NET side and when it can be used. If you have any simple examples, please share. Thank you, Hi, I will give you a short example. When a web site runs under the IIS, a process lunches. Usually it is the w3wp.exe or aspnet.exe. That process runs with a set of permissions. When you are trying to connect to a web site using the brower, all requests get executed by that process and its permissions. The process has some rights to perform access to the file system or to any other resources. Now lets say you are using reporting services in your web site. In the reporting services you give user GUY KOLBIS permissions to execute reports. If ...Show All

• Visual C++ 'out' value-type parameters and managed/unmanaged references

  WOW the area of tracking references is confusing. I have a large unmanaged COM server (C++) to which I'm adding managed interfaces. Many of my methods provide output-only value results. For example, my Image class has a method that in C or COM you would declare as PixelRange(double* pMin, double* pMax), and in C++ you would declare as PixelRange(double& min, double& max) and in C# you would have PixelRange(out double min, out double max). It seems that I must declare this interface in managed C++ as PixelRange([Runtime::InteropServices::Out] Double% min, [RuntimeInteropServices::Out] Double% max). My problem is that for each such parameter I have to create an unmanaged variable to pass to the internal function, and I have to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using Bitmapfont for your scoring system

  Hey all, I just want to start out saying that I love what microsoft is doing with xna, in the few days that ive had my hands on it ive witnessed several impressive projects pop up! Anyways, on to the point of this post. I searched the forum for a post that explained a simple way to make a scoring system (using the tutorial here: http://blogs.msdn.com/garykac/articles/732007.aspx ) and it came up empty, so I figured I would help people with similar C# skills as my own are somewhat basic. After the tutorial they have you write the text to the screen using: m_font.DrawString(20, 20, Color.DarkBlue, "Sample string"); However, thats a pretty static way to write text to a screen, perfect for some things, but useless for a scoring ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista conime.exe procedure issue on console application

  Hi all, I am using a non-western language Vista, when I start my console application, the extra procedure conime.exe (as I know, it's shared to use for all console application) is launched automatically. But when my console application exits, the procedure conime.exe still has some relationship with my console application, I can't remove my console application folder (my console application is installed, I launch it, exit it, and remove all files and folder of my console application). But after terminating the conime.exe procedure, I can remove my console application folder. On Win2l/XP, I can remove the folder after exit my console application, without terminating the conime.exe procedure. Since conime.exe is used for all console ap ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development About MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER.

  Hi all! Please give me some pieces of advice on MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER. Although I set the MF_SA_D3D_AWARE in the argument at the GETAttributes(IMFAttributes** pAttribute) of myMFT, the MF didn't notify myMFT of MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER. I describe my testcode in the following.
