• Visual C++ Mixed mode finalizer bug in C++ class destructor with std::vector member

  I have discovered a bug when finalizing a CLR class which deletes a data member which is a pointer to a C++ class, and the C++ class has a std::vector<ANYTYPE> as a data member. When this occurs an exception is thrown, with the message in the debugger being: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in msvcm80d.dll Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." Breaking in the debugger shows that the exception is occurring in the stack trace from the vector's destructor code, with the last source code trace being line 45 of xmtx.c in an _Mtxlock routine. Tracing the bug shows that the finalizer has executed afte ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute Package Task: setting child variables

  Hi, Let's say I have a package taking as parameter "InvoiceID". I want to execute this package as a child in another package. The parent package gets the list of invoices to produce and calls the child package for each entry of the list. How do I pass the InvoiceID to the child I know I can use the parent's variables from the child but I don't want the child package to be dependant on the parent package. For example, I might want to execute the "child" package as a stand-alone in development (providing it with a predefined InvoiceID). I might also want to call the same child package from another parent package with other variable names. What I would like to do is "push" the value instead of "pulli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How does everyone else do it ?

  We've just starting looking at Team System, and really want to use it to manage work items and their progress. Basically, we have 3 types of work to manage; 1. We have a software product that we sell and maintain, a keep a register of bugs, enhancement request etc. Periodically we will pick out some from the list and develop then release. 2. We get asked for Large pieces of bespoke development that require full spec's and multiple developers. This needs to be broken down into components. 3. We get 'Issues Lists' from clients when implementing with a mixture of bugs and requests. The problem I have in managing all of the above is that we have various methods of receiving work / bug / request lists, from Excel to Word to faxes to ...Show All

• .NET Development Configure what ports the .NET component uses?

  I am trying to run an application (Smartermail, a mail server built on the .NET framework), which uses a .NET component to manage its TCP connections. The application does not specify a local port, so apparently the component chooses one it considers open, from the range of 1024 to 5000 I think. Is there any way, as an administrator of the machine, I can predict, constrain, or influence what port will be chosen For example, how does the component decide a port is open Can I configure the machine to declare all but a few ports closed, so the component will always choose the ones I want it to use Can the component itself be configured at the machine level Is there some other utility in Windows 2003 server, the platform in questi ...Show All
