• .NET Development Hot to log each method being executed?

  Hello, I Would like to attach to a thread and log each method i being executed. I'm guessing i should listen to the CLR activities to do so. I have access to the pdb files if needed. how can i do so Thanks, Eran. Hi, There are profilers for .NET out there which perform the action you need. The ones I know of are SpeedTrace, and in CompuWare's DevPartner they have a product that does it too. If you want a simple/free one - that's what I'm trying to create... I remember there is some example in MSDN magazine that includes a working tracing profiler, and also one is supposed to be included in the Visual Studio 2005 SDK. You can also try looking at the CLR Profiler examples in MSDN magazine, such as http ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2k5: Instantiate a textbox and assigning a text property

  Hi, I tried instantiating a textbox with: Dim txt1 as new textbox However, though no error is encountered when I assign it a value, when I pass it to the database, all the fields are null. My insert method is working fine (coz i see rows with null values that are added in my tables), only, it cannot get the exact value of my instantiated textbox. I know i'm missing something.... hmmm probably i still need the property let/get... just guessing... Can someone help out cherrie As best I can tell (unless you're doing it in a FormLoad that isn't shown), the TextBoxes are never added to the form. I believe that without a parent form the databinding event chain is not triggered. Try adding ...Show All

• Visual Basic Software Publish Question

  Alright, I have a program that I'm working on and i have noticed that whenever I run the Publish in the Programs Properties, that it makes a .exe . Now whenever I run the .exe , I noticed that it puts it under Start - All Programs but I don't see it anywhere in the C:\Program Files\ . Why is that Also, I have a .mdf in the application. Will it create the .mdf upon install for me or do i have to encode that into the program ClickOnce is designed to be very light weight and non-intrusive to the machine. That's why it installs per user (don't need to be an admin to install). If you want to be more specific about where you install to then you're going to have to use MSI or an MSI like technology.

• .NET Development COM Interop / Compile COM object without re-compile of .Net app

  Hi Forum I use existing com objects in several of my applications. The problem is that sometimes something needs to be fixed or changed in the COM components. Everytime I have to recompile the .Net apps also. I don't see much point in this as long as the interface in the COM object has not changed. Is there any way to get around this Hi Liviu I get an error. I don't have the exact one here. But it is an error with com interop. I can compile the application locally and just replace the com interop dll for the specific component. Then it works again. Does it look at version numbers of the Com object or what is it ...Show All

• Visual C# design question related to using Collection of Custom entities

  If I have an Account class. The class can have several Memo objects. I implemted a Memo class that I bind to my fMemo form. I use Memo class in order to create and diplay a single Memo of the account. But, I will also need to display a grid with all memos of the account. My 2 questions pls: 1/ Is it wise to display the grid of all memos of the account using Collection of my Memo Custom Entity class or is it wiser just to use a Dataset or sqlDatareader instead. 2/ Was the idea of using the Memo Custom entity class a good one or do you think that doesn t have bug value and just complicates the programming process and makes it take longer time.
