It's kinda overkill (i7, 8GB, SDD, W7 x64) for what I actually need but it is supposed to last for a few years.For maintenance issues I had to install Visual Studio 2005 and it turns out that "Edit and Continue" wasn't working . I found a thread here HTML Code:[URL] in which I read that E&C is not supported in 64-bit OS.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to put in scripts for google analytics in my code. But I want it to run only if the environment is production and not in dev or qa. This javascript runs at page load itself and I am confused how to make it run conditionally. My app is an asp.net app.
Javascript is always confusing to me. There are many other javascripts in the page and I just need to disable this one. Had it been a .net code/function I would check for the environment and conditionally run the function. But I am confused about how to accomplish this type of functionality with javascript
I am about dead certain that in VB Express 2008 that I was able to have multiple tabs. And, on each tab I put controls. I could also click on a tab and see the controls only on that tab.I am now in Visual Studio Pro and I cannot for the life of me look at what is on a specific tab. Only the first tab wants to shows its controls.Does anyone know how to enable the environment to allow me to view the controls on different tabs?!
View 3 RepliesI'm writing in Visual Basic, using Visual Studio Standard 2008, targetting framework 3.5.When debugging, I pause code and edit it in my Startup Project, then continue running.Where the code moves into one of my non-startup projects, I am sure I used to be able to edit that code and continue running.Now, whenever I try and do that, I get a dialog stating that "Changes are not allowed when the debugger has been attached to an already running process", even though I can still edit code in the already-running startup project.All of my code is in VB, there's no weird language crossover thing going on. Why can't I edit-and-continue my non-startup projects?
View 6 Replies64 bit is a wonderful thing, except that MS currently has no plans to make a 64-bit IDE. However, you CAN compile your program to be 64 bit using AnyCPU or x64 compile options. However, by using either of those options, you cannot edit-and-continue.To enable edit-and-continue on an x64 machine, you must set your compile option to x86 in the Platform property of 'Project Settings > Compile'. If you do not have that option available, be sure that you select 'Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > General > Show Advanced Build Configurations'.

View 2 RepliesThere are 2 ways we can add .vb files.We can add them as a link and choose not to copy. Or we can add them and copy.The way I did it in vb.6 is equivalent with add them as link and choose not to copy.Also what's the point of copying to target folder anyway? I want the original linked file to be updated when I change the file during debuging.
View 4 RepliesIn the last day or two I've lost the ability to edit code while the program is running (and halted at a breakpoint).I also can't instantiate otherwise unused test variables for purposes of examination - I'm told they don't exist in the current context.Also System. Diagnostics.Debug doesn't work anymore.the error message generated when attempting to edit is :Changes are not allowed in the following cases:
- When the debugger has been attached to an already running process.
- The code being debugged was optimized at build or run time.
- The assembly being debugged is loaded as domain-neutral.
- The assembly being debugged was loaded through reflection.
I suspect that optimizations are being performed that are causing all this but I can't find where they are being set nor why they have changed.tools/options/debug shows that Edit and Continue is enabled although it is grayed out while the progarm is running. Windows 7, X86.
Opened a solution on which Edit & Continue worked in VB2008. Now at a breakpoint, editing of source code cannot be accomplished. No error messages - keystrokes are ignored. Any idea as to what we should do to get Edit & Continue.Price Brattin, SQLServer & SharePoint 2010 MCP, Microsoft Dynamics SL Consultant?
View 1 RepliesI've been using the vs2010 beta but I can't seem to get edit and continue to work.
Compile -> Advanced Options -> Target platform is set to x86 (Compile -> Platform is disabled and set to Active (Any Cpu)?).Options -> Debugging -> Edit-and-continue is checked but grayed out. Presumably for the same reason I can't debug.Options -> Historical Debugging is set to Events Only. Disabling it doesn't help.I get no warnings when trying to modify files while debugging, they're just read-only (shows a lock icon in tab).
What are some other options that might be disabling edit-and-continue?
I have a problem when i want to E&C on break mode.I turn off Optimized code generation but i still haved the problem!Here, Build>Configuration manager, when set configuration to release, i get an error like "Changes are not allowd when the debugger has been attached to an already running process or the code being debugged was optimized at build on run time". in Other Side when set it to debug, the breakpoints not be hit and have a error like "The breakpoint will not currently be hit.No symbols have been loaded for this document".I use Win7 x64,Visual studio 2008 and also set my project's platform target to X86?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a program that when run changes the <title> attribute of the HTML, on any page requested then loads the page (IE). Is this possible, without making a new browser? If so, how?
View 3 RepliesWhen using VB.Net (2008) and paused in debugging, Edit-And-Continue is a great time-saver. However if you change any module/class-level information (variable, sub/function signature, etc), you get the error message like this:
"unable to apply this change while debugging"
While I can understand the technical challenge to making this work (and why it would be hard), it leaves me in a tight spot with just a few options:
1) Restart and recompile and get the program back to the same state
2) Continue debugging without making the change, and risk forgetting
3) Type up a reminder note to make the change All of which are annoying.Now I know that option '4) Just actually make the change' may not be possible. but does anybody know how to enable the following 'technically easy' possibility?
4) Let me change the code, get it flagged with the purple squiggly underline, so I can save it, but just ignore the change until recompile
I have checked the Tools|options|debug|edit and continue, nothing appears to let me do this.
I'm not able to use edit and continue feature while debugging my project. I'm using VB 2008 Express Edition on a 32bit winXP version.
I already check on MSDN and found that this feature can be enable in dialog Tools/Options/Debugging.... However, I do not have a Debugging entry in the treeview in this option dialog. I also used to reset the Import/Export setting features in the tool menue. However this did not solve the problem as well. Then I tried to import some settings and I was able to select the option for debugging. However in the tools/option menu, the debugging feature is still not visible. Edit and Continue is not working as well
Its really a pain to debug with the current setup, as I always have to restart my application when I did some minor changes.
okay so i just installed win 7 clean version 64bit and installed vs 2008 on it i was loving my new 64bit OS up until i discovered i couldnt edit code in vb2008 while debugging and continue from where i paused.
then luckily i stumbled upon a place in program properties-->compile-->advanced compile options and i set it to x86 (instead of any) and it worked and i could use edit and continue feature as im used to it..2 questions tho
1st of all how do i make it by default for every project i create or open for the compile options to be x86?
2nd of all, im no programming guru, but i mean if i can edit and continue while debugging in 32 bit mode but cant while debugging in 64bit mode, and since its possible to make programs suitable for x86 and x64 at the same time, why oh why would cant the debugger simply debug in x86 mode and still compile the program as suitable for x86 and x64?
am i to understand that everytime i want to compile a program suitable for x86 and x64, i have to change the compile option to x86, completely be certain that im done with the editing of the program (which im never certain of), and when im ready to buld and release the program i have to change the compile options back to suitable for any (x64 and x86)?

I am coding a VB.NET application which heavily deals with a collection type. See the code below:

I have to type the above line for so many times. If I changed the collection type, then I have to make the change for all the instances. So if there is a way to use "a typedef equivalent", then I can get rid of all these problems. I tried with imports, but it is only for namespaces and it can't be used for classes.

I'm trying to integrate with an API that requires the "Date" header in a web request. As you may well know, .NET has removed the ability to append or even display a default Date header in your request, so I was wondering about a workaround.Here's the catch: you can't use TCPClients because I don't have "permissions" on my server for such a thing as sockets. Is there some way to "cheat" the system to fake a date header or to trick it into posting a Date header? Or should I just give up on this API?

View 2 RepliesI know that there is no DESIGN, DESIGN_MODE, DESIGN_TIME, etc preprocessor directive value. However, I need something that can do the trick. I can't use a normal If statement, because in my case I need to change the inherited class so that the control renders properly at design time. If not, I'll receive an exception due to the fact that the inherited class is an abstract class.Here's what I'm looking to accomplish:
Partial Class MyCustomControl

#Else
Inherits WidgetControl

I'm downloading a bunch of files from a URI but when they get big, I get an utOfMemoryException. I thought at first it was MemoryStream error but I'm pretty sure now that the error is rooted in the declaration of an array of Bytes that's too large. (Half a gig is fine, 1.7 gig is not.)
View 1 Replieswhat's a Class, and Object, a Method, a property and thins like that, but I have this doubt:Let's supppose I have a class "Laundry" this class has (just for this example) 3 propierties:
1.- laundryID
2.- Name
3.- Washers
Id and Name are "primitive" types or simple types (integer and string), but Washers, represent a list of object of type "Washer", that has 3 properties:
1.- washerID
2.- laundryID
3.- capacity
4.- brand
All of them (for this example) simple/primitives types (integer,string,string).So this my dilemma, it is correct to have a constructor like this (VB .net)
public sub new(ByVal laundryID as integer)
'' Here I'll query for the data of the Laundry on DB
'' After that I will query for every washer that belongs to this laundry
[code]....
And inside of that constructor query for all the washers that belongs to the laundry with id=laundryID parameter, and create objects of type "Washer" and add them to the list of Laundry ?I'm not sure If I explain myself, any comment I'll be really grateful, in less words, what's the correct approach (or good practices) to work with class/objects that has properties which are complex (other class/objects).I usually work with ADO.net probably ADO/LINQ/Entity solve this thins in an transparent way, but if they do it I don't really know it.
Note: I'm familiar with VB.net, C#, PHP, so if you prefer explain/help me using examples with its syntax, it's ok
I'm trying to make a label transparent. When I set the BackColor to transparent, all it does it take the color of the form it's sitting on, i.e. It's not truly transparent. I've googled it and found this in another thread (from a MSFT MVP)".NET controls do not support true transparency. You can set their BackColor to Transparent (in some but not all cases) and the parent control will show through, but only the parent control. If there is some other control behind that is not the parent it will not show through. That's because the control is not truly transparent. It basically copies its parent in the area behind it and uses that as its background, but that doesn't include sibling controls that may be behind it as well." To me, this is completely unacceptable. Why even include the transparency option when all it does is set the control's backcolor to the form color? I'm trying to add a label over a progress bar to give my user some feedback (because the Visual Studio progress bar doesn't support text, which is also a horrible design shortfall by the way), and have yet to find a way around this.
