• Visual Studio Mixed-mode debugger hangs

  We have a quite large native C++ application with some parts in C++/CLI, and some GUI components written in C#. Recently, the mixed-mode debugger has become unusable for us because it hangs with a high CPU load as soon as the managed components are used. Visual Studio itself stays responsive, until I select 'break all' -- then VS itself also hangs, now without CPU load. During the high-CPU-load hang, VS uses ca. 59% of the CPU, our program (the debuggee) uses ca. 17%. The process explorer (from sysinternals) shows that VS uses CPU mainly in two threads which stay in ntoskrnl.exe. The number of objects marshalled also increases continuously. Here are typical call stacks for those two threads if I debug the devenv.exe and break execution: &g ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Change page result when there is no internet connection

• Visual C# IDE freezes for 5-10 seconds when saving a file

  I recently replaced my motherboard, and since then saving files in Visual Studio "freezes" the IDE for 5-10+ seconds. It displays the animating save icon in the status bar, but doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse input, and doesn't repaint if I move another window over it, until the save is done. This also happens every 5 minutes when Visual Studio auto-saves recovery information. I'm not certain where the problem is - if it's with Visual Studio, the drivers for the disk controller, or the hardware, but since I haven't experienced anything similar in any other application, I figured I'd ask here. In case it's important, my new motherboard is an: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Delete records that don exist in the destination

  Hi all, I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense. The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this Thanks in advance MShetty wrote: Hi all, I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if the ...Show All
