View 2 Repliesif you are debugging or releasing a projet , vs writes exe or bin files to the bin and obj folder in a release and debug version, are ther differences bewteen these files with the same name in 4 folders ?, eg myproject.exe
View 3 RepliesEvery time I compile a new release build in vb.net 2009, the file version number of my main exe is correct, but the assembly version number is the same as the last build instead of the current version even though I manually change the file and assembly version in the design studio to be the same prior to compiling.The only way I can get the assembly version to be correct is to close Visual Studio and delete the obj folder. Then if I open the solution and recompile, all is well.
Here is the information copied from the About box in VS:

I am writing some code that uses fixed regexs to search strings and pattern match. Its simple stuff, but I want to improve regex performance with compiling (its a high traffic website). I was thinking of compiling the regex and putting it in a Shared (static) variable inside a class. Something like this:

Any tips on what is making the project so slow. I have about 5 report server projects, and about 3 other projects. One for My Generation and another Base Class project with one form. My machine is a 2.0 Intel with 1 gig of ram.
Some times hitting enter causes a huge delay or selecting a chunk of code (10 - 20 lines) and doing a ctrl-c causes a huge lag and then again when I do a paste. Trying to debug by step thru no longer lets me do edit and continue. I get the error "Cannot currently modify this text in the editor. It is read only"

How can I get in my application at runtime in which mode it has compiled? The compiler is VB.net (VS 2005). Something like in C++ #if defined(_DEBUG).

View 4 RepliesWhen an error occurs in any of my .NET assemblies the user just gets a generic error saying "MyApp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I would like the user to to see the error message and line number if possible.From what I understand you need to deploy the pdb file along with your assembly. I did that, but it had no effect. This is a Windows application.

View 4 RepliesI created a vb dll using class library in visual studio 2010 [URL]... I have accessed this Dll in Excel VBA by referencing it through (Tools>>Reference)...I obtain different results when i run my program from Excel and when I run it from Visual Studio during debugging (here the debugging starts Excel as an external program). The results are exported by the dll function as a structure array ( The required values
are in double format in a constituent 1D array). The difference is as high as 5%.
What might have caused this difference? Could someone please help me with this?
I have several VB.NET Windows Form applications connecting tp several Network databases. When I build, update and test my apps, I want them to connect to a testing database as opposed to connecting to the production databases when the app is released.Right now, I change a setting in my coding before releasing the app, but I would like this to be automatic, to prevent any testing data in the Production database and vice versa.I found this piece of coding on the web, but it doesn't seem to ever be in DEBUG mode and by DEBUG mode I mean when I click the "Start Debugging" button or the F5 key.

When i go to my BIN folder and try to run my project, the project runs but the button event seems to be none exsisten, also my message box does not appear on load, it should give an ERROR message if it does not detect the process writen in the module.
View 3 RepliesI have a dataset in a Visual Studio 2010 Web App project which accesses the DB with a complex SQL statement. If I run the statement in SQL Management Studio directly, it loads in a less than a second. If however, I run it using the "Preview Data" button in the dataset designer, or I try to access it on a page (with a gridview for example), it takes over 40 seconds!
View 2 RepliesWhat is a good approach to managing a debug and release connection string in a .NET / SQLServer application?
I have two SQL Servers, a production and a build/debug and I need a method of switching between the two when my ASP.NET application is deployed.
Currently I simply store them in the web.config and comment one or the other out, however that is error prone when deploying.
It appears there is a major change in behavior with my projects now that I've installed SP1 for VS2010.

I have an x86 VS2010 app running on a 64 bit machine that hangs in debug mode. Both the interpretive version and the compiled debug .exe hang. If I step through the interpretive version it runs. The release mode works fine. Doesn't seem like system memory is a problem as I'm reporting 1.8 gig free after I load the app. I've googled this and don't see anything pertaining to debug environment specific behavior. Is there a limit to what the debug .exe supports?

I am having a strange issue when building assembly's for one of my modules.I was getting errors when running on 64bit which I traced back to being related to the assembly being 32bit specific. Our modules are(or should) all be built to be bit agnostic.Running CorFlags.exe on the assembly showed the following.
Version : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
PE : PE32

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

Debug.Print mDb.DatabaseOptions Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
Debug.Print(mDb.DatabaseOptions)Value of type 'DatabaseOptions' cannot be converted to 'String'.

According to MS documentation The question mark (?) is an alias for Debug.Print This is clearly not 100% true, as the two statements exhibit differing behaviors in the example above. If it makes any difference, I am using the Express Edition of VB 2008.
