VS 2008 - Objects disappearing? |
|visual-studio|teamfoundationserver|.net| |
I've only been using VS 2008 Team Foundation for a few weeks. Over the last few days, I've noticed that sometimes one of my objects/controls on my page just disappears from intellisense. The project builds perfectly and the objects are still in the HTML, but I still can't find the object.
Any one else notice this? |

If you have a byte[] you should be able to use the BinaryReader class and set values on NewStuff using the available ReadX methods. |
I had followed a different tutorial on setting up my xen on ubuntu before 8.04 but now upgraded to 8.04. I used the extra line in my cfg as folows:
extra = ' TERM=xterm xencons=tty console=tty1'
It allows me to "xm console hostname" from dom0. I think this was from a problem with the xen setup in the version ... |
My first instinct would be the rather unhelpful "Install Linux". You are somewhat <a href="http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2006/Jan-11.html">swimming against the current</a> to try and develop in mono under windows. Installing GTK and everything is a bit of a bother in my experience.
If you do feel like using linux,... |
You can't check for changes without some sort of audit mechanism. You are looking to extract information that ha not been collected. If you just need to know when a record was added or edited, adding a datetime field that gets updated via a trigger when the record is updated would be the simplest choice.
If you al... |
From what I can see in that context, you don't need to copy SomeByteArray into a buffer. You simply need to get the handle from SomeByteArray, pin it, copy the IntPtr data using PtrToStructure and then release. No need for a copy.

VB.NET Empty String Array |
|.net|vb.net|string| |
How can I create an empty one-dimensional string array? |
Like the others, I'm not sure that's such a good idea, but if you really want to do it, then you can create a subclass of SynchronizationContext that allows posting and sending delegates to the target thread (if it's a WinForms thread the work is done for you as such a subclass already exists). The target thread will h... |
Not sure why you'd want to, but the C# way would be
string[] newArray = new string[0];
I'm guessing that VB won't be too dissimilar to this.
If you're building an empty array so you can populate it with values later, you really should consider using
List<string>
and converting it to an array (if... |

Could it be a problem with the color combination? Some fonts look really ugly on high contrast combinations with a black background.
Also, can you see the difference in the fonts in any other application?

I don't think SQL Express would be overkill if you want to learn real-world skills - quite the opposite in fact! That'd be my choice, and whatever I chose, I'd stay clear of Access.

The first thing to remember is that the cursor can be in three states

According to [this blog post by Vance Morrison][1], RuntimeTypeHandle is a value type (struct) that wraps an unmanaged pointer, so Type.GetTypeHandle(obj).Equals(anotherHandle) is faster to use for strict "is exactly the same type" comparisons than obj.GetType().Equals(anotherType) -- the latter creates System.Type ins... |

Launching a Python interpreter instance just to select the right binary to run would be much heavier than you need. I'd distribute a shell .rc file which provides aliases.

Maximum number of inodes in a directory? |

Is there a maximum number of inodes in a single directory?
I have a directory of 2 million+ files and can't get an the ls command to work against that directory. So now I'm wondering if I've exceeded a limit on inodes in Linux. Is there a limit before a 2^64 numerical limit? |
I don't know what the performance would be like for large datasets, but open office has a database program (Base), which is an Access clone and may just be what you are looking for. |
The venerable [Dr. Dobbs Journal][1] is still pretty good.

"the only way I can return this is as an IEnumerable, so I lose my strong typed goodness"
that is incorrect. In fact your query is strongly typed, it is just an anonymous type. I think the query you want is more like:

@Brian -1 is a good choice for the default value since no "real" rows are likely to have identities less than zero. If it defaulted to 0 or 1 then there'd be a chance that it'd clash with an existing row, causing a primary key violation.
For applications that stay offline and create multiple rows before saving, a co... |
The iPhone SDK is documented to require an Intel-based Mac. Even if some people may be able to have gotten it to run on some other hardware doesn't mean that it will run correctly, that Apple will fix bugs you report, or that it is a supported environment. |
Having worked with both approaches (shared domain objects and DTOs) I'd say the big problem with shared domain objects is when you don't control all clients, but from my past experiences I'd usually use DTOs unless it development speed were of the essence.

For C code, you definitely should definitely use [Flexelint][1]. I used it for nearly 15 years and swear by it.

This turned out to be a powerful documentation tool when you want... |

If you *are* using the GAC, you can at least do `iisapp.vbs /a "App Pool Name" /r` instead of `iisreset` (it's quicker to recycle a single app pool than to restart IIS). |

I would go with the file system approach. No need to create or maintain a DB with images, it will save you some major headaches in the long run. |
