• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a custom CACHE URL log file using VB to make up for IE's flawed cache file

  hi the location of my index.dat for cache files is here: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat but it turns out that is still not good enough. even after viewing its contents IE still does not record the complete cache link, something i have been trying to get, so far, w/o success. here is the issue: comparing the *exact* same page navigated to, between the dat file from IE and the dat file from FF (by comparison), re: the salient cache link i have been trying to get at with IE for the last three days, IE records this: Quote: 46/njk/en-us/RCC/Getinfo.htm ...Show All

• Visual Studio HTTP Checkout - Possible Timeout Anomaly

  My team is encountering a strange problem when trying to checkin or add larger files to VSS 2005 via HTTP or HTTPS. The resulting error is always the dreaded: There was a failure uploading the URL.... although I don't believe that error indicates what the actual issue is. I've read what I think to be every post on the subject here and elsewhere on the web, and no situation matches exactly (others are simply an easy timeout misconfig or a permissions issue and nothing can be checked in.) It's not a permissions issue as all team members can checkin smaller files and large projects that contain small files-- as long as the file being checked in doesn't take more than 30-60 seconds (see below.) It's not a typical HTTP "tim ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Reducing Browser Memory Leaks

  I spotted this in the google API documentation and wonder if it has been address in VE Reducing Browser Memory Leaks The Google Maps API encourages the use of function closures , and the API event handling system GEvent attaches events to DOM nodes in such a way that almost inevitably causes some browsers to leak memory, particularly Internet Explorer . Version 2 of the Maps API introduces a new method, GUnload() , that will remove most of the circular references that cause these leaks. You should call GUnload() in the unload event of your page to reduce the potential that your application leaks memory: ^ Wow. That was helpful. Thanks Jeff.

• Internet Explorer Development Internet Explorer Toolbar (Menu Bar) disappeared after installing IE 7

  I use yahoo as my homepage, when the "Get IE7 now!" appeared in the toolbar, I clicked on it and installed it. Big Mistake so far...Here's the problem, after installing my IE menu bar (toolbar) containing "File, Edit, View, tools, help" vanished and I can't figure out how to retrieve it or get it back. I have checked and it is not hidden behind another toolbar. Along with that, The IE blue bar at the top & small bars at the bottom contain no information of the URL (webpage) when pages are loaded. In the Yahoo toolbar, under the pencil icon- there is no standard toolbar listed anymore. Also my tabs disappeared from yahoo and under the toolbar options there no longer is a check box to "Enable Tabbed Browsin ...Show All

• Visual C# best way to read pipe delimited text file?

  I am trying to read in a pipe delimited file and do certain processing for each field. I was just wondering what the best way to strip out each field is - is there anything built in .Net that will easily allow me to do this Or do I just loop through and remove each field myself Also, would it be best to strip each field out into a dataset first, and then do the processing Or, do the processing while I am separating each field Or does it not matter Thanks!

• .NET Development Gen 2 Memory

  Hi, I have a recursive loop which gets file info for folders. THe data is obviously huge and when I run the perfmon, I see that the Gen 2 Heap size is around a constant 250 MB. I assume that this will be a problem and if so how can I reduce this.. The code is pretty simple .. I have 3 main datatables that are class level variables I have a recursive loop which fills in these three tables with all the files and directory information.(I use the BeginLoadData, LoadDataRow,EndLoadData for this) and I finally update the DB.
