• Visual Studio Team System Winforms Functional Testing

  Just curious, what experiences has anyone had with winforms Functional Testing tools. I'm particularly interested in something that plugs into VS for Testers (like TestPartner from Compuware). We're looking to make a decision ASAP for a big project. Hi, I'm really sorry not to be able to answer your question. We (VSTS edition for Testers) don't use any functional testing tools from our partners, but instead make use of unit testing and internal libraries. We will be providing our own functional testing tools in future releases, we're working on it. Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All

• Visual C++ set<String> in Visual C++ .NET

  How do you use a set of Strings If I say set<String> *st; String *s = S"FOO"; st->insert(*s); I get an "illegal use of managed type" message. thanks Not really. The question is straightforward, I think. Is there such a thing as a set of String (NOT string) the kind that you use as String *foo = S"FOO"; and if there is such a thing, how do you declare & use it -- I get compiler errors no matter what I try.

• .NET Development IPv4InterfaceStatistics returning wrongs stats

  Hello. I am making a simple network monitor program to keep track of the amount of data transfered up/down within the last 48 hours. I am tesing the program and it seems to work fine untill it has runned for a day or two. Or maybe its the size of the data that is the trigger, I don't know. Anyways, the code IPv4InterfaceStatistics stats = nic.GetIPv4Statistics(); long upNow = stats.BytesSent; long downNow = stats.BytesReceived; Seems to return incorrect values compared to the ones in windows' own status window for the connection. I have no IPv6 connectivity. Am i missing something Regards, Ole - Andre Johansen there are a whole bunch of protocols other than IP. Like ICMP, ARP, RARP, SMB, so on. May be the Windows is showing you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Profiler w/o Visual Studio

  I have been running the Performance Profiler through Visual Studio and through the commnad line utilities on my development machine without a problem. My goal is to take these command line utilities and copy them to a testing machine that does not have Visual Studio and profile the app on that hardware. (I copied them from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Team Tools\Performance Tools) After I instrument the assemblies I run the exe from the command line and I keep getting the message "MyApp has encountered a problem and neeeds to close. We are sorry for any inconvienence" with the Send and Don't Send buttons. I am testing this with a very simple application that just has a few buttons and displays a few message ...Show All

• SQL Server Advanced lookup transformation

• .NET Development Automatic ordering of records

  hello, i use VC# and sql server 2005. i create a table using the following command : create table history(name varchar(20) primary key); I insert records in a particular order.After all the records are inserted and when I try to retrieve the records, all of them are sorted in a ascending order.Is there any way to prevent them from being sorted. pls..reply it is very urgent.... - Sweety If you are using SQL Server then primary key will have non-clustered index which is a physical sorting of the records based on that key. Most likely you will get records sorted based on your PK filed and you cannot do anything with it. Anyway it is not a good idea to rely in your application on order in wh ...Show All

• Visual C# I am interested in Game Programming plz suggest me which lang to choose C++ or C#

  I am interested in Game Programming plz suggest me which lang to choose C++ or C#. actually Im good in both but wanted to know which is widely used or will be used. So that I go with that  Seee Manage DirectX 9 Kick Start, it is a good book for game programming in C#, in the preface page i think Author tells why to use C# in game programming, by the way from Direct X 9 it has full support of game programming in Managed applications and difference is obvious in terms of complexity. I think done using C# and DirectX in 1 line may span to 8-10 lines of C++ code.... Best Regards, Rizwan ...Show All

• .NET Development ".NET Runtime Optimization Service has encountered a problem and needs to close" V. 2.0

  Hi, having lots of problems installing vs 2005 proff on Win Server 2003. After going through the process of installing and uninstalling vs 2005 a couple of times with varying degrees of failure, I decided to try just installing .net framework 2.0.

• Visual Basic Slow Visual Basic IDE

  i know this might be a redunandt question/issue regarding the slow perofrmance of the IDE in Visual Basic, but i have a bit different symptoms; the IntelliSense is working fine, but other features like, saving the document, or adding new lines or detection of syntax errors (the blue line takes a while to appeare or disappeare)! i tried doing the tips that were mentioned in other threads, but nothing is working. some posts actually said that removing the Navigation Bar helped, i tried to do so but it didn't work, because the Navigation Bar is stuck and doesn't want to be removed though i unchecked it in the Tools>Options>Text Editor>All Languages. i have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed, on windows XP SP2 machine running o ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving data to and from SQL Server 2005, with manipulation in C#

  Hi I am wishing to * take a table of data into a C# CLR procedure and store it in an array * take a second table of data into this procedure row by row, and return a row (into a third table) for each row (and this returned row is based on the data in the array and the data in this row). I am new to CLR programming, and pulling my hair out at the moment. I’m sure that what I’m trying to do is simple, but I am not making any progress with the on-line help and error messages L . I have now described what I am trying to do in more detail, firstly in English, and then in a T-SQL implementation that works (for this simple example).
