Track (all) the events from a Control

Hello. Simple situation(VS2005, .NET2): I have a textBox1 on a panel1. I need to track all the emitted events from this textBox1. Actually, when I need to track a single event(TextChanged, by e.g.) from this textBox1 I add a handler to the (TextChanged event) I set then a non-blocking breackpoint that writes on the output console a mes...

Syntax error in Ax

static void Job(Args _args) { int number=10; do { print (strfmt("current number = %1", number)); number --; }while (number != 0) } This is a job just for testing do-while in X++ , and I get a "syntax error" in the last '}' I'm new to Dynamics AX and to X++, so I don't know if there's something...

How do I make WebDev clean up its tooltray "tracks"?

After I've shut down a VS 2008 web project, well, a lot of times, I see many instances of the WebDev icon in the "tooltray" / system notification area: These are no longer active instances; they were shut down by VS. When I mouse over any of these, Windows Vista "conveniently" collapses the tray for me. This makes life miserable if t...

Debugging in Dynamics AX

I'm facing some troubles still while learning, so I guess it tends to get worse once I play with the big kids: warnings in dynamics aren't as precise and informative as VS's, there are no mouse-over tips, and exceptions to show me exactly where I've got it wrong. I'm just too used to Visual Studio, it's intellisense and all the tools (dy...

Better way to access break-on-exception filter when debugging in Visual Studio?

I'm tired of using the eye-squinting, time-consuming Exceptions dialog in Visual Studio to turn break-on-exception filters on and off. I looked for a Visual Studio command to help automate this from the Command window, but no luck. Does anyone have a technique for avoiding the Debug->Exceptions dialog yet get access to its functionality...

a method with breakpoint is called in WCF service before execution

hi all, I have a strange situation in my application. I have a service that needs to return some value from the DB. My service calls to some method in a singleton (by using the GetInstance method). For the purpose of debugging i wrote logging messages in every method along with a view of the call stack. While debugging i noticed somet...

Saving content of large structure

I have a really big data structure with a lot of fields in it. I want to save its fields to later compare with later values; but I can't print the content to console, because it's too much code to write by hand. (I have roughly 1k fields.) How should I solve my problem? ...

Visual Studio 2008, how to jump back out of a catch?

I am using the debugger (vs2008). Once I've stepped into a catch statement, I would like to know if there is any way to set the execution cursor back to the beginning of the try. Just dragging it there doesn't seem to work, is there some setting I need to change? Example: Try //Want the cursor back here { } Catch { some code // c...

putting a debugging console window in your app

I'm starting to develop a simple application in VS9 and I decided to use WPF and the MVVM paradigm for it. Still being a bit unexperienced with VS deveopment in general and WPF-controls in peculiar, I would like to ask how I should proceed to establish a little debug console window that takes perhaps 1/4 of the main window and sits kind...

Python Debugging

I'm not sure if 'debugging' is the right word, but I'm looking for a tool/IDE that would show my which statement/block will be executed next in a particular module. This feature I remember was available in Turbo C++ years back so I assume something similar might be available in some Python IDE? Thanks ...

PostSharp , PDB Debugging and Referenced Assemblies ...

When using PostSharp with a Referenced Assembly with proper PDB info( checked with chkmatch), it seems strange that the debug info gets lost by VStudio build and post compile process and I get the following error by using chkmatch to compare the assembly after the vstudio build. Error: Debug information not found in the executable. So ...

Bug tracking methodology

I'm working on software for a company that doesn't ever file bug reports, the only complain, "so and so isn't working." Sometimes I can figure out what they're talking about, sometimes not. My pleas for screenshots and more details fall on deaf ears (once they did take a screenshot, then printed it out, scanned in it with their fax machi...

Is there a GCC pragma to override generation of debug info (-g) for some section of code?

I'd like to include some debug information in an application, but hide certain symbols from appearing. Is there any way to do this with GCC 4.0 (or 4.2)? This is on OSX. ...

How to debug dynamically defined functions in Python?

Is there a way to debug a function that is defined dynamically in run time? Or at least is there an easy way to find out where this function is produced? Update to give more detail: I used inspect module: ipdb> inspect.getmodule(im.get_thumbnail_url) Out[0]: <module 'django.utils.functional' from 'C:\java\python\Python25\Lib\site -p...

Managing NSStoreType changes between debug and release builds

NSXMLTypeStore is used when starting Core Data backed application by default because it's good for debugging purposes. But practice dictates that developer should use either NSBinaryStoreType, NSInMemoryStoreType or NSSQLiteStoreType store types in release builds. How do you manage changes between debug and release builds? I believe tha...

Can I find out where a Python application crashed using the data dump?

My application crashed recently on a client's computer. I suspect it's because of PyQt's own memory management, which can lead to a invalid memory accesses when not properly handled. When Python crashes like this, no backtrace is printed, only a data dump is written to the disk. Is there a possibility to find out where in the Python co...

gcc not generating debug files

Hi. I want to compile an application with debug information using gcc and gdb. When I do the following, the debug (.dSYM) files are generated correctly: gcc -ggdb src/test.c -o build/test If I, however, split this into a compile step and a link step, like this: gcc -ggdb -c src/test.c -o build/test.o gcc -ggdb build/test.o -o dist/b...

<%= debug(controller) %> produces unreadable output

In one of my templates I want to take a closer look at the controller object using the debug() helper. It is said to produce YAML suitable for HTML output. Running <%= debug(controller) %> does, however, not produce anything I call readable. It begins with: #<ClubsController:0x104467378 @_request=#<ActionController::Request:0x1044676...

Commands for breakpoints in a .pdbrc file

Hi all, I'd like to save the commands for a breakpoint in a .pdbrc, something like: b 81 commands 1 pp foo.attr1 pp foo.attr2 end b 108 commands 2 pp bar.attr1 pp bar.attr2 end This would automate setting the environment for the debugging session. However, this does not work with 'python -m pdb script.py', because at the ...
