• Visual Studio Team System VS hangs while checking custom rules.

  I have 2 simple custom rules - one that checks if all classes are marked with author attribute and the second that checks filed names. I noticed that VS hangs while running that rules. It helps when I uncheck that rules and build a few times checking one more rule after every build. Is it possible that my rules couses a deadlock While in hang my VS doesn't use processor time. How can I debug it or find out what is wrong Marcin I can't find out what is wrong. Disabling one custom rule that checks private fields names helps and the problem exists only inside VS not in standalone FxCop. Anyway, the problem is general and it probably is in VS build process which is slow, unpredictable and very ann ...Show All

• SQL Server Determine Processor Architecture for SQL Server 2005

  I like the new features in SERVERPROPERTY but there's a huge, glaring oversight in my opinion: it doesn't return the processor architecture. I'm trying to write a detailed server info collection script and (1) use only TSQL, and (2) have it return the processor architecture. Here's what I have so far: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName') AS [InstanceName] , SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS [ServerName] , @@VERSION AS Version , CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('Intel X86',@@VERSION)<>0 THEN '32-bit' WHEN CHARINDEX('Intel IA-64',@@VERSION)<>0 THEN '64-bit' -- WHEN CHARINDEX('x86-64',@@VERSION)<>0 THEN '64-bit' -- WHEN CHARINDEX('AMD64',@@VERSION)<>0 THEN '64-bit' -- WHEN CHARINDEX('WOW64',@@VERSION)<>0 THEN 'WOW64' ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Data.Common vs System.Data.<specific>

  Hello, I am writing a set of classes to help me with some fairly routine tasks involving querying and downloading data from remote databases. There are a number of databases I use from time to time, each of them on different platforms, including SQL Server, Oracle and Sybase. I'd like to make my classes as generic as possible, so I can use a one size fits all approach. What I'd like to know is if there are any serious performance penalties in using the System.Data.Common classes rather than their platform specific counterparts (eg System.Data.SqlClient). As I say, I am really only interested in server side queries, and collecting data through a data reader. To be specific, would there be any reason why the following two snippets w ...Show All

• .NET Development GetEmptyWebProxy for 2005?

  I'm in the process of converting a VB.NET 1.1 program to VB.NET 2.0. I have the need to get an empty web proxy, and would use the following in the old code. httpreq.Proxy = GlobalProxySelection.GetEmptyWebProxy() GlobalProxySelection has been deprecated in 2.0. And indicates the following: 'System.Net.GlobalProxySelection' is obsolete: 'This class has been deprecated. Please use WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy instead to access and set the global default proxy. Use 'null' instead of GetEmptyWebProxy. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ linkid=14202' This sounds simple, but does not function the same.

• Visual Studio Team System Regarding MSBuild

  Is there a way in build script to run unit tests only in debug mode Dinesh - perhaps you are referring to the "Debug tests" option that you can see in the IDE where you can step through your tests while they execute. Do you want to run tests in this debug mode while doing automatic build through Team Build If yes, I don't think this is possible since this option is only available if you run tests from the IDE, not through a service as is the case with Team Build. ...Show All
