I have a DLL with some COM objects. Sometimes, this objects crashes and register an error event in the Windows Event Log with lots of hexadecimal informations. I have no clue why this crashes happens. So, How can I trace those COM objects exceptions? ...
When I process a cube in Visual Studio 2005 I get following message: Process succeeded. Trace information is still being transferred. If you do not want to wait for all of the information to arrive press Stop. and no trace info is displayed. Cube is processed OK by it is a little bit annoying. Any ideas? I access cubes via we...
What methods are there for automatically getting a stack trace on Unix systems? I don't mean just getting a core file or attaching interactively with GDB, but having a SIGSEGV handler that dumps a backtrace to a text file. Bonus points for the following optional features: Extra information gathering at crash time (eg. config files). ...
I want to introduce some tracing to a C# application I am writing. Sadly, I can never really remember how it works and would like a tutorial with reference qualities to check up on every now and then. It should include: App.config / Web.config stuff to add for registering TraceListeners how to set it up in the calling application Do ...
The TRACE macro can be used to output diagnostic messages to the debugger when the code is compiled in Debug mode. I need the same messages while in Release mode. Is there a way to achieve this? (Please do not waste your time discussing why I should not be using TRACE in Release mode :-) ...
As someone who is just starting to learn the intricacies of computer debugging, for the life of me, I can't understand how to read the Stack Text of a dump in Windbg. I've no idea of where to start on how to interpret them or how to go about it. Can anyone offer direction to this poor soul? ie (the only dump I have on hand with me actua...
Does anybody know where I can download a utility to convert the .trc trace files output by MS dynamics AX server? We have a dev version of the server running locally but no access to an MS account as we are not regular AX developers. ...
I've got two versions of a project with a JUnit test. Looking at the diff of the files there's no obvious reason to this, but the test passes on one project but not on the other. For a while now I've wondered if there was a program that would record a trace through the whole program when it runs and save it to a file. This would be real...
What is tracing and how should it be done? I have a common utilities library I am including in my projects and I want to be able to get some output from it. I have been using log4net but would rather not have my common utilities library dependent upon log4net. Does that make sense? Edit: Is there any correlation between logging and tr...
Let's say I'm working on a little batch-processing console app in VB.Net. I want to be able to structure the app like this: Sub WorkerMethod() ''//Do some work Trace.WriteLine("Work progress") ''//Do more work Trace.WriteLine("Another progress update") ''//... End Sub Sub Main() ''//Do any setup, like confirm the...
I've made some performance improvements to my application's backend, and to show the benefit to the end users of the GUI, we've been using the Trace.axd page to take timings. (The frontend is .Net 1.1 and the backend is Java, connected via Web services.) However, these timings show no difference between the old and the new backends. By...
I've begun to the the built-in TraceSource and TraceListener classes and I would like to modify the output format of the events independently of the TraceSources and TraceListeners. It seems that the TraceListeners apply their own formatting. Is it possible to completely change the formatting without creating a new class for each and e...
Hi, I know how to write trace statements that I can view in a webforms environment, but how do I do this in a windows forms app? I am inside of a static method, and I want to display the sql query that it is generating. I don't have access to messagebox.show, what are my options? ...
I have intermittent crashes occurring in my ActiveMQ libraries due to the way I'm using the activemq-cpp API. It'd be much easier to debug the issue if I could observe every function being called leading up to the crash. Are there any quick ways to trace the entry and exit of functions in a Visual Studio 2005 c++ multithreaded program?...
I want to create a trace on a database server from my C# app, like what you do in SQL Server Profiler. I have found stored procedures (sys.sp_trace_create etc...) that dont seem to work for my SQL management studio. I was wondering if anyone could help with the coding, or where i would start to do this?! ...
On my app i am creating a real time trace (not sure how yet but i am!) and on the sp_trace_create function in SQlServer, i know that the @maxfilesize defaults to 5, but on my app its going to be stopped when the user wants to stop it...any ideas how this can be done? ...
Anyone know where i can find a list of the columns for setting the trace filter, i know the system id number as i got this off of MSDN but i need the list with all of the data types but i cant seem to find it anywhere... ...
I am looking for a tool like ltrace or strace that can trace locally defined functions in an executable. ltrace only traces dynamic library calls and strace only traces system calls. For example, given the following C program: #include <stdio.h> int triple ( int x ) { return 3 * x; } int main (void) { printf("%d\n", triple(10));...
I'm trying to debug a rather complicated formula evaluator written in T-SQL UDFs (don't ask) that recursively (but indirectly through an intermediate function) calls itself, blah, blah. And, of course, we have a bug. Now, using PRINT statements (that can then be read from ADO.NET by implementing a handler for the InfoMessage event), I ...
For testing purposes I'm planning to put together a little app that will listen for a particular event coming from an application and interact with it at that point. Given that we're at a point in the testing process where changing the application code is out of the question, the ideal from my point of view would be to listen to the de...
