So, there is a horribly written site that I occasionally help out with that was originally written in classic ASP. It was then "ported" to ASP.NET by moving the global variables to the code behind and leaving the rest of the code in the aspx...Its a huge mess. On some pages, an occasional race condition seems to be triggered that cause...
Specifically, we've got some external JavaScript tracking code on our sites that throws itself into an infinite loop each time an anchor is clicked on. We don't maintain the tracking code, so we don't know exactly how it works. Since the code causes the browser to lock up almost immediately, I was wondering if there's anyway to log the...
How can I print a message to the error console, preferably including a variable? e.g., something like print('x=%d', x); ...
Hi! When I debug a C# program and I get an exception throwed (either thrown by code OR thrown by the framework), the IDE stops and get me to the corresponding line in my code. Everything is fine for now. I then press "F5" to continue. From this moment, it seams like I'm in an infinite loop. The IDE alway's get me back the the exceptio...
I would like to see the threads currently active in my application while debugging it. How can I do this using Visual Studio? ...
I'm doing some profiling on a 1.1 app and have identified a problem. It seems that this function is taking forever to load on a certain page: ParserCacheItem System.Web.UI.TemplateControlParser.CompileAndGetParserCacheItem(String, String, HttpContext) I've searched around with no luck about what this does. Does anyone know what this fu...
I'm looking for an easy way to lightweight way to debug RESTful services. For example, most webapps can be debugged using your average web browser. Unfortunately that same browser won't allow me to test HTTP PUT, DELETE, and to a certain degree even HTTP POST. I am not looking to automate tests. I'd like to run new services through a qu...
Is there a way to step through a .bat script ? The thing is , I have a build script , which calls a lot of other scripts , and I would like to see what is the order in which they are called , so that I may know where exactly I have to go about and add my modifications . ...
I'm getting a null-object exception deep within XsltCompiledTransform, and I'd like to use the .Net Framework Source debugging feature to see what isn't being initialized, but even after following the directions for enabling it, I can't figure out how to step into the .Transform() method and start spelunking. The tutorials I've found on...
Can someone please provide an implementation of a C function that gets invoked to dump the current stack? It's for a x86 linux system. It can be invoked in 2 ways: explicitly by another function, or after a crash (probably as a trap/int handler). The output can be either to the screen or to a file, as indicated by a parameter (handle)....
What made it hard to find? How did you track it down? Not close enough to close but see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/175854/what-is-the-funniest-bug-youve-ever-experienced ...
Memory (and resource) leaks happen. How do you make sure they don't? What tips & techniques would you suggest to help avoid creating memory leaks in first place? Once you have an application that is leaking how do you track down the source of leaks? (Oh and please avoid the "just use GC" answer. Until the iPhone supports GC this isn't...
I have a DLL as an add-in in a third party application. When I launch the DLL from MS Visual Studio 2005 in debug mode the third party application will crash. Instead of launching my DLL from Visual Studio in debug mode, I try to launch the third party application first which will load my DLL. Then I attach my DLL to the third party app...
I'm trying to use TestDriven.Net not only to test my code, but to call a function on my code whose purpose is to print out the internal state of the code to the Debug window. Here's a very simplified example of what I'm trying to do.. <TestFixture()> _ Public Class UnitTest <Test()> _ Public Sub TestDebug() Dim oClass1...
I want to output the function name each time it is called, I can easily copy and paste the function name, however I wondered if there was a shortcut that would do the job for me? At the moment I am doing: SlideInfoHeader* lynxThreeFile::readSlideInfoHeader(QDataStream & in) { qDebug("lynxThreeFile::readSlideInfoHeader"); } but wh...
Oracle FAQ defines temp table space as follows: Temporary tablespaces are used to manage space for database sort operations and for storing global temporary tables. For example, if you join two large tables, and Oracle cannot do the sort in memory, space will be allocated in a temporary tablespace for doing the sort o...
A collegue told me once that the last option when everything has failed to debug on linux was to use strace. I tried to learn the science there is behind this strange tool but I am not a system admin guru and I Don't really get results. So what is it exactly and what does it do ? How to use it ? In which case ? How to understand the ...
When debugging an application in Visual Studio, there are 2 options for breaking on exceptions. Break as soon as an exception is thrown, and breaking only when an exception isn't caught. This works fine when developing desktop applications. However, when developing ASP.NET applications, all exceptions are eventually caught by the code in...
When stepping a program in Delphi 7, the CPU window sometimes pops up and then steps through that instructions. I find this an annoyance as I wish to only step Pascal Code. Does anyone know how to disable this CPU pop-up? I would not be sorry if this window never ever shows. It did not happen on Delphi 5 which was my previous IDE t...
Sorry, I couldn't figure out a good way to phrase my real question. I run a high-traffic ASP.NET site on a 64-bit machine. I have IIS running in 32-bit mode, however, due to some legacy components of the app. I am running this particular web app inside an application pool that has the web garden option on (running 6 processes inside a...
