IDE :: XML Documentation And Intellisense File Locking?
May 20, 2009
I'm currently having issues with the following scenario:
1. I will build several DLLs with "Generate XML Documentation" set.
2. The DLL and XML files are copied onto another server (the build drop).
3. The copy will fail as the XML files are being locked by other users referencing these DLLs from their open Visual Studio projects.
Note that this also occurs on a local computer; open up two Visual Studios and use reference paths to reference the Binary folders. You'll find that the refrencing instance of Visual Studio will lock up the XML files causing the first Visual Studio to have problems compiling.
1. Is this a bug in Visual Studio 2008? Why is it holding exclusive locks on these files from the other computers? Is there a fix for this?
2. Is there a way to "package" the XML file into the DLL? I've noticed a lot of other .NET DLLs in the world that include all of their comments INSIDE of the DLL. No XML files necessary. (unless they're not .NET dll's).We're doing a lot of framework development here and it's imperative to include the XML documentation... unfortunately we've had to disable it to allow new builds to trickle through.

I'm using vb.net 2005, I've got the following code running a thread to download a file. However, the process fails sometimes when trying to read the local copy of the file. I think I may need to unlock the local file somehow but I'm not sure how to do this.[code]

How could I lock any file in my PC from others access? I am trying to lock some my video, picture, Excel and Word file in my PC by using Visual Basic. I am using Visual Studio 2008 to develop this application but I am unable to do this job. It'll be something like security utility application. Actually without me, some other people also using my computer and I am trying to lock their access in my personal file. And I wish to know the tools which I can use for this job. I am just a Beginner on this development field.

Simple question. I have a log of actions that is in XML. When some action occures, the XML log is updated. I am using:Dim xmlData as XElement = XElement.Load( "DataLog.xml" )
to load the existing data. I then create a new XElement (NewData) and use:xmlData.AddFirst( NewData )Which puts the latest item at the beginning of the log. And finally, I write it out using:xmlData.Save( "DataLog.xml" )Ok, that all works fine. But there is no testing to see if anyone has (or is) updating the file ("DataLog.xml") during the process. This may result in lost data. Is there an accepted way to implement some sort of file locking structure that can be used to prevent this potential loss?

I have some code based on some previous posts that just won't work right.The code all runs without error.
-' strErrorLog holds a valid file name with full path
-' xmlNewError holds a valid xElement value
Using holdFile As New IO.FileStream(strErrorLog, IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite, IO.FileShare.None)[code]When I step through the code, everything works.There is no error on the xmlError.Save call.However, the actual file is NOT updated.If I remove the "Using" commands and change the save to "xmlError. Save(strErrorLog)", then it writes just fine..It's got to be something really simple, but it's frustrating that I don't get an error message.But it does unlock the file..

I'm writing a log parser which is reading a log created by a game. This log can be written to many times a second. My problem is that my program is preventing the writing of the log at times. Is there anyway I can read the log file without locking it?
Sub readLog()
If readyToRead Then
If FileInUse(fileName) Then Return
readyToRead = False

how to call or reference an item from an xml document. I hava a java app that i'm converting over to vb.net. The java application uses the digester class to to parse the information. The app uses 2 classes and the xml file. one class is the Vb.net Parameter class (fully converted from Java to vb.net) that pulls the information out of the xml document and then places it when called into the 2nd class file.
I'm pretty sure that i need to use the system.xml class to do this however i'm having or just not reading the examples properly.
I have partially converted the code over to vb.net, it still has some java references.

I'm trying to write some documentation for a webservice that has been provided by one of our vendors for an application we're integrating. A bunch of the interface is custom objects defined in the web service itself. The vendor has put up significant resistance to providing any documentation for this application and so I've taken it upon myself to do their job for them [against my better judgement]. The documentation they have provided frankly is embarrassing and I'm trying to make as short work of this as I possibly can to put some good quality docs together.
I know that as I don't have access to their source, I can't just run it through nDoc/Sandcastle to spit out an API doc, but I was wondering if (as a half way house) there was an easy way to export the intellisense to a text file without me having to write a utility to specifically iterate through each of the object types defined and reflect the members out to text? If I could do this, it would at least make sure that I have a good quality document structure where I can just fill in the blanks. Having to skip back and forth to Visual Studio to check the intellisense for every class member is a very laborious way of doing this.

When in VS 2008 if a developer hits the ''' it generates the XML comment tags for you, but this only works when the project setting for "Generate XML documentation file" is checked. Is there a way to tell VS to generate the XML Comment tags, regardless of the project setting? I think it is possible that someone may want comments but not create a XML documentation file. In this case I am exceeding the current Team Settings, yet other developers don't want me to change this project setting. This forces me to flip this back before checking in the project. I have the same problem with other Project settings like "code Analysis". This is only a problem for VB.NET projects.

My program splits a mulitpage tiff file (batch of purchase orders from Sage MMS)into separate files by doing OCR and using the MODI functions.My code has three main loops. 1st loop goes through each of the pages and splits the tiff into separate tiff files based on order number and stores them in a directory. for each order i also create an array of information by doing OCR from the tiff ie. order number, customer etc etc. 2nd loop goes through the array. for each order number in the array checks to see if there is another tiff file existing in another directory. This could be a separate sheet which needs to be attached to the main purchase order and comes from a document scanner in another office.If there is an additional file i merge that tiff file with the current tiff file. 3rd loop goes through the array once more and uses the microsoft faxcomexlib to faxed the files using my server 2003 fax serverthe 3 loops work perfect and very fast and i can send the faxes no problem.
I also add all the array information into an access database so historical purposes.My problem:In the first loop i need to check that the fax has not already been sent. (users can reprint orders so need to be careful that fax isnt sent more than once) I do this by getting the order number and querying the database. If the order does not exist then i can proceed else i prompt the user to refax yes or no.i have put the database connection and sql in a function which returns true or false. however when i add the function to my main loops i get a file lock on the current order. If i remove the function my code works perfect.

The last word, "ClientProfile" has the scary squiggly red line below it. It is not recognizing my class.Even the Intellisense is not picking up te class. Do I have to register the class file in any way?

I am in the process of writing an application that requires a single transaction updating several tables. The front end has a header record and several detail records. I do not maintain any type of lock on the original read. The read is performed by calling a stored procedure in an existing database to pass back the data.
When I update the data each detail record is updated individually. Is there away I can update all of the records within a single transaction? The update will be performed via a stored procedure that is stored on the server. I cannot store the code in the application as other applications will need to use the same server side code. I can handle updating a single record my issue come about when I've updated 5 records and the 6th fails, how do I rollback the 1st 5 records.

I am developing a parser application to build a call tree from DDL files that have been extracted from a database. The idea is to take a large number of these DDL files and determine exactly what calls what. To do this I am using a .NET TreeView. The final output I am working toward is something like this:
-Proc1
-Proc2
-Proc3

i have this application, that creates various custom AppDomains, each app domain executes a assembly and its dependencies, like a plugin, a separated assembly, that manipulates database, own resources, etc.
the application runs fine for a while, but suddenly, it locks up... the process does NOT die, it just freezes, i ran a remote debugger on top of it, on the thread window i can see EVERY thread, they are with the status "running" (not "thaw") but, in the same place, not executing. i can pause and run the debug, and it remains in the same place. there are NO locks, synlocks, monitors, on the code and the code for loading the appdomains is very simple, no big deal on it. like i said, its working, but after a while, it locks up. Any ideas on this environment?

does someone have an example code for how to prevent .exe files to be started?
Something like this might work:
For Each OSKInstance As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("OSK").ToArray
OSKInstance.Kill()
Next
But that might be resource intense as a while loop is running all the time. Is there a smarter way to lock an .exe?

I am trying to use a transaction for the duration that the dialog is open and then commit the changes once the dialog has been ok�d or rollback'd if canceled by the user.My problem is when I use the transaction it is locking the whole of the tables that I�m using to update and insert new records too.I update the record in the first (current) table and insert a new record into the second (history) table. Obviously this is causing me problems as I only want the transaction to lock the specific records i'm updating and not allow a new insert record with my PK associated to my that I�m updating, not lock the whole of the 2 tables.This is my code[code]....

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?

The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

This is the situation when there is a shift change and one record is started by one person and finished by another. What one has written another can't change but must finished a record. So u must lock only the combo boxes and text boxes that are filled. This code lockes all the combo boxes and text boxes and 2 check boxes (NEZAVRSENE_INTERVENCIJE and IZMENA_RASKRSNICE) by clicking on a NEZAVRSENE_INTERVENCIJE check box. Lets say I have combo boxes 1 2 and 3 and text boxes 1 2 and 3 and I have to lock only the ones that are filled. How do I code that another check box lockes just the filled controls?
