• .NET Development State stateinfo error.

  I am trying to use ManualResetEvent class. I took a sample from this post by Camoz: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69213&SiteID=1 I get a compilation error on the last statement: State stateinfo . All references he is using are included in my file. I think they are also in the reference section of the object browser. What am I missing It is a snipped piece of code: using System; using System.IO; using System.Security.Permissions; using System.Threading; class Test { static void Main() { ManualResetEvent[] manualEvents = new ManualResetEvent[numberOfFiles]; State stateInfo ; The error message is: Error 2 The type or namespace name 'State' could not be found (are you missing a using d ...Show All

• Windows Forms System.Data.ConstraintException

  In my first ADO.Net 2.0 project I'm trying to create a Windows Forms application that allows updating customer records. These records are in an SQL Server 2003 database, and I am using the VS.Net 2005 DataSet Designer to create a typed DataSet and Customer TableAdapter. To start, I just output the internal IDs of fields to TextBoxes on a form. So far, so good. One of the fields is for Language (English, French, Spanish, etc.), and there is a database table with language names and IDs. So I add a new Language TableAdapter and Relation to the DataSet Designer. The Relation is: Parent table: Language Child table: Customer Key Column: Language.languageID Foreign Key Column: Customer.languageID Both Relation and Foreign Key ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Help with setting up a load test to test a data accessl layer performance

  We have a totally new .NET 2.0 data access component that's based on the MS Enterprise Library and typed datasets.  I'd like to compare how it performs vs our old DAL component (also .NET 2.0).  I have set up two ASP.NET 2.0 applications that're only different in the DAL, and recorded the corresponding web tests that have read and write in a couple of pages. I know the basics of setting up a load test in VSTS and the ones I did ran successfully though I'm not sure if the stats collected are what I think they are.  So I'm hoping to get some guidance on how I should set up the tests, and what stats to collect (like ADO.NET ).  What I'm most interested in is for the same stored proc calls, what the difference there are& ...Show All
