The program appears to be working fine, but I recently looked at the "handles" field of Windows Task Manager when this program was running and noticed that the number of handles was gradually and relentlessly creeping upwards.

Often when I want to search through my code in Visual Studio, I know the thing I'm looking for is in some C# code. However, as I've used the same variable name in a javascript file, I have to wade through all those search results too. This gets even worse when the text I'm looking for is also used in a third-party javascript library that...

To clarify it's the side panel thingy where you can edit control properties... usually goes side by side with the Toolbox, like you can't deve...

Something generic would be useful. A more specific request solution would involve Visual Studio. I've tried Performance Wizard, but it doesn't seem to give me t...

Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E I See that one of the dll's that get referenced is the interop.dll, I suspect this error comes from the fact that intero...
Each time I run my application it creates a connection to the Oracle database (pretty typical). The problem I'm running into is that, when I kill the debugger to stop the application the code to close the database connection never gets called. Oracle doesn't seem to realize that those connections are now unimportant and it tries to kee...

Hi, I have a solution with 2 projects: a c++ main project a c# project (display simulator) Today these 2 apps share data using a loopback TCP client/server connection, but that's not very optimal (timing issues..).

As a .Net developer I spend a large portion of my day working in Visual Studio (2008). While there are a lot of useful functionality inside the IDE, there are many things that I find frustrating on a daily basis. One of those things are the windows docking and pinning. There are many different windows types (debugging, pending checkins...
