Wonder what it can see inside its colon?

So, there's a guy in a helicopter. And he's lost over Seattle in a fog bank.. you know the rest of the story...
debugging a problem in VS2008. Dang IDE tell me it cannot find my executable code for debug (breakpoint icons go clear). The ide tells me the problem - I'm in a helicopter....

"An 'elicopter" sounds more appropriately elephanting.

Are you accidentally trying to debug a release build (without debugging symbols)?

I wish it had been that simple. This was strictly self inflicted frustration. I'm developing for a CE device. VS2008 has two entries when debugging: Remote Executable and Deployment\Remote Directory. If you don't change both to point to the same folder on the target device, VS2008 happily thunders on, but no breakpoints.

when you are coding in Visual Studio and press
Ctrl + A, del and Ctrl + S
then you are done for today 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
|
|
|
|

As long as you hit Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + S before Alt + F4 you will be fine!
"UNDO" - the only command worth putting in all caps!

touché ...
but when you are taking an elephant while debuging an endless loop? 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Absolutely! That's how UNDO is pronounced (English has some very obscure pronunciation rules you know).
...and stop calling me Shirley!

If you have TFS or similar
|
|
|
|
|
You only lose code once due to missing backups (either manual backups or source control). And if you do you only have yourself to blame

If you're coding without source control then you're a fool. It may not be integrated in the IDE like that, but you should be always able to revert changes at worst back to the last checkin point.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't need a source control since I'm a solo developer no need the check in check out so other developer don't mix with my code.
|
|
|
|
|
The history preservation is still a good enough reason to use source control. I work in a team in my job, but I have hobby coding at home that no-one else can touch, but it's still worth setting up an SVN repository for it. It means that if I screw up it's far easier to get back to a working state.

but i got fired down with recovery and stuff... 
Then i'd say, the awkward moment when you type format c:
into cmd and press enter
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I once tested a driver on the same machine as I was building it on.
It BSODed, and when I rebooted and opend the project half my source files contained nothing but full stops.
I didnt do that again.

Ah, the joys of tweaking production code because after all, "it has to work".
