This is a weird problem I have started having recently. My team is developing a COTS application and we have a few people with their hands in the code. A few weeks ago, I received an error message when trying to debug (and run the compiled EXE): "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appr...
I've seen some methods of checking if a PEFile is a .NET assembly by examining the binary structure. Is that the fastest method to test multiple files? I assume that trying to load each file (e.g. via Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad) file might be pretty slow since it'll be loading file type information. Note: I'm looking for a way to chec...
I'm looking into why a managed process is using a lot of memory. Is there a way to run GC.Collect(3) from WinDbg, so that I can focus on the actual memory allocation? ...
I've had a couple of complaints that one of our managed apps is using 20-25Mb of RAM. I normally push back and say that memory's cheap; get over it. Is this reasonable for a Windows Forms app? ...
I'm encountering problems with my .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 application. It is a C# winforms application communicating with a COM exe. Randomly either the winforms app or the COM exe crashes without any error message and the event log contains this entry: [1958] .NET Runtime Type: ERROR Computer: CWP-OSL029-01 Time: 11/25...
Hello, I'm trying to host the CLR inside my C++ application and I'm having problems invoking the entry point of the managed application. The entry point is defined as usual: static void Main(string[] args) And here's the actual C++ code: CComPtr<_MethodInfo> entryPoint; hr = assembly->get_EntryPoint(&entryPoint); // this works just ...
I have an SQL Server 2005 server, and I'd like to run a .Net CLR stored procedure on it. However, I'd like to use .NET Framework 3.5. If I try this right now, I get this error: Error: Assembly 'system.core, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=b77a5c561934e089.' was not found in the SQL catalog. I'm told this is possible ...
Are all the additions to C# for version 4 (dynamic, code contracts etc) expected to run on the current .NET CLR, or is there a planned .NET upgrade as well? ...
It is not possible to fire an event in C# that has no handlers attached to it. So before each call it is necessary to check if the event is null. if ( MyEvent != null ) { MyEvent( param1, param2 ); } I would like to keep my code as clean as possible and get rid of those null checks. I don't think it will affect performance very much...
I have an assembly. Is there a way to detect which version of .NET was used to build that assembly? ...
The same way DOS morphed into Windows? We seem to have ended up supporting and developing for three platforms from Microsoft, and I'm not sure where the boundaries are supposed to lie. Why can't the benefits of the CLR (such as type safety, memory protection, etc.) be built into Windows itself? Or into the browser? Why an entirely oth...
Are you choosing not to use managed code for any new applications for Win32? Why? Are there resources you need that aren't available from the CLR? (Note "New" - not enhancements to existing codebases.) ...
I would like to include CLR stored procedure deployment in our deployment script (powershell at the moment), however I can't figure out a nice way to do this automatically. I would have thought there would be a nice command line option to do the same as right-click deploy in Visual studio ...
Assuming following definition: /// <summary> /// Replaces each occurrence of sPattern in sInput with sReplace.

Hi all, I've created a CLR stored procedure that I'm running on SQL 2k5 and I'm wondering if there's any way to get line numbers for exceptions thrown by the .NET code. When an Exception is thrown, I get something along the lines of Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure myProcedure, Line 0 A .NET Framework error occurred during exec...
Today I ran into a problem were I needed to remote-debug a program. The program was launched from another system, so I really don't have an opportunity to interact with it on the command line. I could change its source easily though. What I needed to happen was for the program to start normally, and then wait for me to attach to it wi...

I'm using Python 2.5. The DLL I imported is created using the CLR. The DLL function is returning a string. I'm trying to apply "partition" attribute to it. I'm not able to do it. Even the partition is not working. I think "all strings returned from CLR are returned as Unicode". Help me please. It's very urgent. Thank you Jetxee for your...
Hi, I codded a CLR stored procedure (listed below) The line of code where the exception is thrown was added just for the purpose of having the exception logged in EventLog I deployed the assembly and created the stored proc in database However when I execute the stored procedure no entry is logged in Windows' EventLog If the code wh...
