I remember in vb6 you could set a watch on a variable and tell it to break when that value changes. I see where you set a watch value in 2005, but I don't see where you can set it up to break when the value changes.Am I missing something or did they remove this functionality?

I am trying to add a watch window in Visual Basic 2005 (version 8.005)
When I select "Debug" and then "Windows" from the menu, no "Watch" option shows up.
I am new to VB 2005.
what I would like to do is create a program that runs in the task bar next to the time. What I want this to do is listen for the key stroke combo of CTRL-ALT-T no matter what program they are in. When they hit this key stroke I want the program to do is hide the task bar on the bottom of the screen. you know how you can change the hight to two rows one row and so on but you can also drag it down so it has no rows and can't see it. Then when they hit CTRL-ALT-T it will then display the task bar with what ever the hight wa set to. Just don't know what direction to go to do this.
View 3 RepliesI've used VS2005 where there was an option to basically break into the code via menuitem on the debug menu. I can't exactly remember what it was called although I seem to think it was "break all". I know this has something to do with the setup/layout/whatever MS called it, I picked when I first installed VS. I went into the options and couldn't find a way to enable it. It is disabled if you enable "edit and continue" or something?

View 3 RepliesI am writing a report to an excel template and am trying to insert a page break into the report. Part of my code is included:
Imports msWE = Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim Rnge As msWE.Excel.Range = excelApp.Range("A20:M20")
Dim excelApp As New msWE.Excel.ApplicationClass
excelApp.Worksheets.HPageBreaks.Add(Rnge)
Now the pagebreak code executes but it does nothing. Its almost as if it is being ignored. Also I have heard that using Microsoft.Office.Interop is not a good idea as it is slow and unstable.
So I have some vb.net code, and I have a nested For loop inside a For loop, and then I have EXIT FOR statement, will it break out of one loop, or the whole chain?

-VB6 and VS2008 IDEs use Ctrl+Break to pause execution for debugging.
-I need a way to map another key combination to trigger a Ctrl+Break
My setup may make this easier or harder but to be clear I am running Kubuntu 9.10 (latest stable) and WinXP in a VirtualBox VM. Obviously all VB6/VS2008 dev is taking place in the virtual machine.So maybe it's possible to have the linux host send through Ctrl+Break based on a key mapping, or maybe it's possible to remap directly in WinXP. I'd settle for any solution as atm I need to use the XP On-Screen keyboard to send a Ctrl+Break.
I know in the older versions of Visual Studio, there was an "Add Watch" option where you can choose to stop execution when the value of the field changed. I am using VS 2010, and I can't figure out how to hit the breakpoint when the value of the field changes.
View 2 Repliesi have a variable that changes every few minutes and I am trying to find out the best way of going about 'watching' that variable and simply changing the text of a label based on the returned variable
so pseudo code on a button click at the moment i have a function that returns this variable
label1.text=myfunction.getName()so this works fine , It seem ugly to have some kind of sleep function that loops every couple of seconds to run myfunction.getName() every 2 seconds , as a bit of a newbie , I am just wondering how I can set up a function that basically says 'when myfunction.getName() changes , then change label1.text'

The problem is when a change occurs in the folder the program exits with no error code. I've read a few related posts and I know it has something to do with thread safety. However I've no idea how to make this program "thread safe".

View 10 RepliesI'm testing a window application which was written in VB.Net 2003.I set a few BreakPoints and Debug the project.When the debugger hit one of the breakpoints, it stops at there. Its correct.But when I try to add one of the variables to "Watch", it said "error: cannot obtain value".I tried to search the Net and found that some said "its because of structures", some said "its because of passing too many parameters." and some said "its because of too many line of codes (LOCs)".but my problem is not in passing parameters or too many line of code.the function i set breakpoint has only around 300 LOCs (including around 100 line of comments)And the value I tried to get is from my TreeView which is on my Win Forms.its very strange that I can't even get the value from Forms.

View 2 RepliesI am working on an application that needs to launch Microsoft Word, and then resume when the user closes Word. The code below should work, but it does not. I get an 'object not set to an instance of an object'
1 Dim pInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
2 Dim P As New Process
3 pInfo.FileName = "C: estLLR.doc"
4 P = Process.Start(pInfo)
5 ''# Here is where it goes bad
6 P.WaitForInputIdle()
7 P.WaitForExit()
I put p into the watch window and it shows a a system.diagnostics.process in the watch after line2, but after line 4 it return to NOTHING. The process launches, but I can not monitor it any longer with lines 6 & 7. Is this a 'limitation' of Visual Studio 2010 or am I making an operator error? The MS Help does not show process available in the 2010 version (it is in Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008).

View 4 RepliesI have build using the computer Performance counter a Stop Watch class with a precision of 1 Microseconds ( 1/1000 of a milliseconds )It works good but While building this class I had a problem And found a work around to it. But I am not please with this work around.As you may know, the CLR does not create it's object at the time where you declare them, but when they are first needed. So, while building a class that a timer with such precision, the elapsed time, you will get include the time used by the CLR to build the class. This is a problem since it takes 700 to 800 microSecond to do so.I have try using a code like the one I post here, try using start/stop method, try builing the class as native code API etc. And always the same problem,I get some CLR time include in the elapsed time.The work around I finaly found is to use the fact that the CLS will recycle an object if you dispose of an object and recreate immediately after.
So, what I do, is create the timer, dummy use it, dispose of it and recreate it to actualy do work with it. Here again, I get a small CLR work time of 3 to 4 Microseconds for recycling work.I have no hope to find a better solution using a managed code class, but I am sure that there is a way to put in memory from managed code, an unmanaged class that will be ready to be use by the managed code.If you try to run it, the first time you will click the button, you will get an extra 3-4 microseconds on the result.[code]

is there away to put a directory watch on an exchange server to monitor if any user delete's or create's an appointment?
I'm creating a service for a windows 2003 server with exchange installed and need to monitor the user's callender's to get information to store in another program.
I am trying to watch files in a directory to determine when files are opened/accessed. I thought FileSystemWatcher would do the trick using the event Changed.
Problem is that some applications do not create a lock on the file they open/access or change either the date modified or date accessed (even after fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0). Notepad for example. Apparently is makes a copy of the file in memory and plays with it there until you save it. Nor does it update the Date Accessed.
How can I monitor a directory of files and be notified when a file is simply opened/accessed by any program (e.g. Notepad)? Files may be opened from another computer, not necessarily on the computer running the "watcher".
We can watch the file action by FileSystemWatcher but it give us to only create,rename,delete or replace action report, can we get file access action ? for example when user double click any file? or when run any application?
