Debugger Is Jumping All Over Because The Code Is Not Matching
Oct 12, 2010
A VS 2005 VB.net forms app has suddenly started misbehaving. When I debug the debugger is jumping all over because the code is not matching. I have tried to clean both the solution and the project and rebuilding everything. I've checked I'm in debug mode. I've checked the debug settings to ensure that "require files to match..." is ticked. I also deleted all the temporary files form the solution. I even tried renaming the code file and class name of the problem file but without success. What else can I try?
Am experiencing a confusing situation where the debugging seems to skip arbitrary sections of code (including breakpoints) and then breaks on non-breakpointed lines. The call stack reports [External Code] even though its not external code
Attempting to debug a VB.NET Visual Web Part I am receiving the following error message.This error happens straight after I press play and and prior to any of the code in my webpart actually executing. I have tried googling and just thinking through what this error might be referring to but can't come up with anything.
I have created a DLL that contains basic functions used in my projects. With the DLL I:Compiled it as a Release Moved the .dll file to another folder Deleted the .pdb files in the binRelease folder When I add the reference of this DLL to my projects and I debug my code, I step through line-by-line and when it comes to a function from my DLL, it actually opens up the source files of my DLL and debugs line-by-line in the DLL source code.
This is REALLY annoying for my purposes and I have tried many things now to disable the debugger stepping into my DLL code. I did a text search in the DLL file and found it stores the path of the project folder.
So far the only thing that's worked is moving/renaming the folder where the DLL project source files are. But everytime I re-build the DLL, once again I would have to move/rename the folder again as it's updated the location of the source.
and also I have two patterns like XX and ZZ I want to find longest possible string which include above given two patterns and return starting and finishing index of the array.
I have a problem when I am filling my datagrid using a dataset in a subroutine it is triggering the datagridview event in my main for and causing me many problems.
There is a program I puchased from out side for Data Entry purpose, I have to enter Postal code to one field (Textbox), This program do not have the list of postal codes to select.I develop vb.net program to find postal code by giving the area name or part of it, I have to copy the generated postal code and paste it into the other programs text box or type as it is.I want to know a method to do this as follows.1.Press some key combination and activate my program (Eg. Ctrl+Alt+A)
I'm trying to make a WM6 version of this simple windows app, and I have some certain problems. Under a timer event I have several instances like this (don't ask why timer and why this way, it just works in my case):
Code: If ent1.Focus = True Then ent2.Text = Math.Round(((ent1.Text) * 3), 1) End If
[Code].....
It didn't work under WM6 so I've changed it to ent1.Focus.
Anyhow, the problem is that under WM6 focus is jumping around with the timer, i.e. different textboxes become active every timer iteration making it impossible to work with the program.
I need help getting the gravity/jumping to work for my game. I have a progress bar, and 3 timers (im sure you'll know what they are by looking at the code). I get no errors but at the same time, nothing is happening. I have the walking animation and the movement for left and right already down so don't worry about that. I just to figure out how to get this jumping shenanigans to work. if you reply, please reply with some code, ive had some bad problems with threads getting unanswered because of this. [Code]
I have made an information display that is split in two parts. The right part shows a jpg converted document with picturebox and VB.Net. The picture changes if there is more documents to show. The left part is a webpage that is opened from the VB.Net program. It contains two xml newstickers in flash from [URL]. Both parts are feeded from a sql database. Everything works but I have a little problem with the newstickers. Everytime the right part with jpg converted document change document the newsticker scroll is jumping. Is there somebody who know a way to decrease the impact on the scrolls then I change document in the picturebox? Can I run the webpage in a other process or something? Or must I find another newsticker ?
so my goal is to get a picturebox to move in random directions and smoothly (like a character moving straight in a game) without using thread.sleep and me.refresh (and also without animation atm). Would anyone be able to guide me on how to accomplish this?The reason I want to do this is because when I need to use like 3 threads to move 3 different things around smoothly my computer slows down too much.here's my code now without all the other subs used to place the random code in it's own thread. There's a lot of other code too so I can't really post the entire thing:
Private Sub random_movements(ByVal e As Integer, ByVal speed As Integer, ByVal ctrl As Control) Dim location_x As Integer = ctrl.Location.X
Im going to make my application require a Serial key(No clue how this works). And how do i prevent jumping messages. My friend said that there most used for getting keys and avoiding key asking.
When a custom class overrides the ToString() method, the C# IDE uses this function to display the class in the debug mode(tooltips, watcher etc) Does the VB.NET the same? I have impression that overriding ToString() method does change nothing. I mean, in the watcher I see Name myBusinessObjectInsnace Value {MyNamespace.myBusinessObjectInsnaceType}
So here is my problem. I have a vb game with animated sprites and all, and the character even jumps. However it only works in the y direction. So if i'm moving, he stops in place and jumps, instead of jumping forward. I was wondering if someone knew how to make him move at the same speed forward during the jump.
where the VS debugger refuses to show certain field types including dates.My call stack contains FunctionA which calls FunctionB. FunctionB has about 45 parameters and many of them are dates.When I step into functionA,
1. the debugger refuses to show a date variable when you hold the mouse over it. It just shows {Date} instead of a value
2. If you do quick watch on that same variable, it also just shows {Date} instead of a value
3. If I do ?variablename in the immediate window, I get "System Error &H80131c23&"
When I comment out the call to functionB, the date variables all show correctly in all the above methods. I will stress that the code has not yet reached functionB, just its very existence in code screws up the debugger.I'm thinking this is a memory issue and maybe vs debugger can't cope with a huge function stack frame dataspace.devenv is only using 268Meg of ram on a 2Meg box, with not much else running. Thats reasonable for this size of project.
I've been given an old VB.net 1.1, Visual Studio 2003, project.When debugging DateTime shows as #09:34:00 AM#, the date-part is hidden. I would like to see which date the DateTime is.I've tried to modify mcee_cs.dat, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but I'm trying to debug a Web Page using the IE9 Debugger. When I click on the "Start Debugging" button, I get the error msg?
We are designing a toolbar to be used in PowerShape that was originally written in VB6. We are beginning the conversion to VB.net and for some reason, when we size the new form that is the actual toolbar, we can see the size change in Design Mode but when we run the debugger it does NOT show the newly sized form. We managed to get the Width to update after clearing the Debug and Release directories but not the Height... And even then it only works once then we have to go back in and clear the directories again in order for the width to update.
Im developing several applications under Visual Studio, and now have a real nightmare in hands. When i start to debug, VS hangs completely. Windows allows me to start task admin, and close the "devenv" process.I have serious problems here. I need to deliver my projects before the deadline!
Win 7 Pro 32 bits, VS 2010 SP1, running on HP computer based on Intel i5, 4gb ram. everything works as intended, except VS. When debug crashes, the devenv process uses about 25% of CPU and 250~400Mb of ram.
I have a vb.net application that I compiled and all, I took the EXe and all and placed it on another pc that has only visual studio express on it.
When I open my .exe I get a message saying No debugger has been found, no Jit Debugger has been specified I can either select retry to find a debugger or click on cancel to forget about the debugger.
If I press cancel, my application launches correctly without any problem.
I have a program, I have published it, and I have been actually using it in my PC. Whenever it encounters an error, the JIT debugger comes out. How do I prevent it from popping up using try...catch blocks, or is there any other ways or code on how to do this?
I'm having an odd problem when making a form visible and not visible and it not continuing to function. Here is what I have happening. I have a main form (frmMain) that is an MDIParent. On this form I have a menu to open a second form (frmCalculate) and populate a listview from Items in the database.
As I click or select items in the listview on frmCalculate the tag is read and data is pulled based on the id stored in that tag and fills in various fields on the form. This works great. However, I also have a context menu attached to the listview that allows me to perform a "what if" scenerio on the items I am calculating. When I select this menu, I hide the frmCalculate and open the frmWhatIf form where I can mess around with values on the item I had hilighted in the listview on frmCalculate. Nothing is pulled from or written back to the database here, all the information is filled in from fields on frmCalculate. It just allows me to look at rising costs and how they will affect my margins.... anyway.
If I then close frmWhatIf, it brings my frmCalculate back by setting its visible propery to true (never closed frmCalculate, just hid it). At this point if I click an item in the listview I get an exception for a null reference. IF however I never hide frmCalculate, I can open and close frmWhatIF without ever having an issue. Why do I lose the functionality to select items just by hiding and unhiding the form? As a test I added two menus to the toolbar on frmMain one called hide and one called show. I then opened frmCalculate with original menu item to populate the listview and selected a few items to test that it was working and then using the hide menu I made the form invisible and the show button to bring it back. This yielded the same exception so without even opening frmWhatIf the problem still occurs.
When I push debug with the project I have open, it launches a previous version of the website. It keeps loading the files from somewhere else, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I'm debugging with VS2008 and my application uses VB.net code as well as asp.net coding.This is the "Default.aspx" page that it's loading (in a screenshot from debugging)(look at first image)This is what the Default.aspx page REALLY looks like in the project, and what it's supposed to look like: (look at second image)
I've got a VB2008 Form app and I'm trying to handle all my UI exceptions in a single method that handles the Application.ThreadException event. When I build a version and run it, this handler appears to be working fine. However, in debug mode, when an exception occurs the debuggernow halts on the exception and won't progress even if I hit F5. I want it to progress onwards and let the handler do its work. That's what it used to do, though I realize the difference is now there isn't a Catch block anymore. Any way to make the debugger keep going? It's making me nervous thinking perhaps things aren't set up right.
I just recently had to rebuild my development environment from scratch. I've noticed that when I'm in debugging mode and I have a breakpoint set on a Procedure or Function, instead of stepping into that P or F, it just executes it without actually stepping thru the code. What do I need to change in my "Tools" and "Options" area?
