Cross-solution debugging with Visual Studio.
One of the awesome things I remember in Visual Basic 6 from years ago that you could just load up an ActiveX exe project into the IDE, set a breakpoint, press Run and whenever someone (either an EXE or a project in a different IDE) called that DLL, your breakpoint would hit. Is something like this possible with Visual Studio 2008? Can ...
Debugging a mysterious IIS crash
I have an ASP.NET MVC web application which integrates a C# managed library of ours that loads unmanaged plugins to do some file processing. These unmanaged plugins in-turn rely on a few 3rd party libraries to do their dirty work; some of which are causing IIS to crash. We use the exact same library in a desktop application which is abl...

XCode debugger hangs on breakpoints
Hi, I'm debugging a project for iOS 4.0 (simulator) in XCode 3.2.3, and all of a sudden the debugger just stopped working on me. It will hit the first breakpoint and freeze.

How can I dynamically download and run a javascript script from a javascript console?
Is there a one-liner I could execute in a javascript console to download and execute a javascript script from a remote source?

I've inherited a project consisting of three levels of code. The lowest layer is native C++ that interacts with hardware. This is mature, stable and well-tested. The intermediate level code is C++/CLI, which interacts with top-level C# code that contains the UI elements and some additional functionality. This C# code is incomplete and wa...

Best way to perform software testing
I just finished (mostly) a major application that I've been working on for a little over a year (off and on). It is around 86k lines of code, 50k of those is from Visual Studio's auto-generated dataset. It's largely a GUI to interacting with the database, generating reports, etc. It deals with money and manages contracts so it is importa...

Tool for tracing C++ program execution
I recently read in a magazine that there is a new commercial developer tool for Windows which monitors a C++ program's execution and creates traces for visual inspection.
