• .NET Development Creating A Helper Thread

  Hello. I'm developing a VS Package that adds 'API level' profiling and debugging. Currently, my API level debugger exists as a stand alone application that implements API call stepping, disable/enable various API calls, and gathering of API call statistics. I interact with threads via a helper thread just like the one that the CLR debugger uses. The helper thread itself runs when the debugged process loads the API dll which is infact a wrapper around the real API dll. Can I designate a thread to be a 'helper thread' and keep it running while all other threads are suspended Target debug applications will be written in C++, however, I hope to find a language independent solution for the VS Package itself. Will ICorDebug help Any other s ...Show All

• Visual Studio LoadSaveReportException - I've tried all the suggestions!

  I had a set of reports, written in crystal with VS.NET and wrapped in a VB.Net web application, that worked FINE for MONTHS! Now all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I'm getting this loadsavereportexception coming up on every report on my server. As suggested in all the other emails, I have tried: 1) Setting the permissions on the c:\temp directory to wide open. 2) Setting the permissions on the c:\winnt\temp directory to wide open. 3) Changing the userName property in the machine.config to "system". None of this did any good. I'm at the end of my rope here and completely lost. The only thing I have done that I can think might have affected this is that I installed a web page written in VS.NET 2005 (I'm ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista pesky DLM file

  I've inadvertantly downloaded the 5536 build vista as a DLM file when i'd obviously would prefer it in .iso format.

• Visual Basic Device driver creation tutorial. Anyone please?

  Hi,  Does anyone know of a tutorial that would detail how i could create a device driver file in WinXP or Vista by using Visual Studio Pro 2005 please Basically i have a mouse with 5 buttons, left right, middle and 2 others.

• Visual C++ calling managed function from unmanaged

  i have class unmanaged_class { void jim() { // How can i call ManagedClass.bob() } }; public ref class ManagedClass { void bob() { } }; i think the idea is to use callbacks and delegates some how... Calling the ref class member function is not the challenge – its figuring out how you want to reference the class in the first place. You can create the ref class as a local and call it as follows (assuming you made the bob member public): class unmanaged_class { void jim() { ManagedClass local; local.bob(); } }; What most people overlook is that methods of native classes are still compiled as managed code by default. If you wish to store ManagedClas ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies How are you gnerating application definitions?

  Hello All, I am just cusrious to know how are you guys generating your application definitions in BDC by hand or using one of the tools out there to auto generate that scary XML file I am unable to find a tool which gives me the ability to include stored procedures in my app def instead of pure tables or views Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot I agree with you all that there should be a better facility for managing the BDC MetaData..

• Visual Studio Express Editions Change picture in picture box

  I have a picturebox and I want to change the picture, how do I do that The pictures are in the resources folder, but I cant manage to change it. Picturebox1.Image = "mypicture.jpg" doesnt seem to work. in addition, you could also load the stream from the resource (embedded) and give that to the picturebox. Of course its case sensitive: Dim theStream as System.IO.Stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(Application.ProductName & ".fileName.ext") Me.thePictureBox.Image = Image.FromStream(theStream) this will get the stream containing the resource from the embedded resource. It is case sensitive so be sure that the filename is correctly entered. This is ano ...Show All
