• Visual Basic Timer needs to count down and be displayed

  I need a timer to count down from 10 seconds and I need the countdown to be displayed. How do I go about doing this There is a label called Label1 on form Form1.

• .NET Development Garbage Collection never collects garbage from generation 2 (finally resulting in OutOfMemory exception)

  Hi, I have been searching the net for many hours trying to solve my problem. Since many questions regarding the GC are answered here I hope you can help me. We have built an web application based on ASP.NET (v1.1), the enterprise library (ie caching and logging blocks) and a custom framework. The problem is that the w3wp.exe process keeps growing and growing untill it recycles around 600 MB. When monitoring the heaps I discovered that the heap basically only grows, expect for some small memory releases now and then. I used windbg to analyse a memory dump (created on the moment of recycling). It seems that many objects reside in the generation 2 heap while not having any references to other objects. There are for instance 2000 dataset objec ...Show All

• Visual Studio FileCodeModel.CodeElements throws an E_FAIL ComException

  Hello, My problem is with the FileCodeModel object. I want to get hold of the code model for a project item without having it appear in an open project. In order to do so, I create a temporary invisible project of the appropriate kind (csproj for .cs files, vbproj for .vb files...) and add the item to that project. Once added, the file content is parsed and the code model may be accessed through the FileCodeModel property on the project item. While this strategy works with C# projects, it fails with VB projects with the CodeElements property born by the FileCodeModel object throwing a COM exception (E_FAIL) whenever it is accessed. Note that I am still able to get an actual reference to the FileCodeModel object with the expected valu ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS is very naughty. It doesn't wear pants, and it will not not index my mht files

  Apologies if this question is not appropriate for this forum! My problem is that WDS 3.0 does not seem to index mht files consistently. Sometimes it finds items that are contained in MHT files but most of the time, it does not. The mht files are stored in My Documents, and the entry for mht files in the WDS options is the default: Index Properties and File Contents. The odd thing is that this behavior occurs on two different computers that have similar configurations. Thanks very much for any suggestions!! Darryl Apologies for the cheap trick trying to get your attention, but I have been unable to get any answers to my question, and it's a real problem for me because I have a ton of info in my mht ...Show All

• Visual C++ Change in behavior of properties from VC7.1 to VC8

  In VC7.1 in the property pages for a project, if I entered a relative path for an include file on the "Additional Include Directories", then the IDE showed valid paths relative to the project file. In VC8, relative paths are all relative to some path in the install directory NOT my project. How can I get the VC7.1 behavior This new behavior is not intuitive. I never place my files relative to the install directory. Ah - I answered without checking first. Bad. Entering $(ProjectDir)\ does not bring up any autocompletion. Entering $(ProjectDir)\..\ still brings up the wrong tree relative to the install directory. In 7.1 I could enter ..\ and it would provide auto completion directories relat ...Show All
