Visual Studio 2003 not able to view properties

I was working happily working away on a multi threaded application and I blue screened. When I got back in I was not able to view control properties only a grey window. Has anyone any ideas on how I can resolve this. It applies across all my applications under development so it must relate to the IDE.

Who's Your Coding Buddy?

I am continually amazed how much better my code becomes after I've had a peer look at it. I don't mean a formal review in a meeting room, or making my code open to anonymous public scrutiny on the internet, or some kind of onerous pair programming regime. Just one brief attempt at explaining and showing my code to a fellow programmer -- that's usually all it takes.

This is, of course, nothing new. Karl Wiegers' excellent book Peer Reviews in Software: A Practical Guide has been the definitive guide since 2002.

I don't think anyone disputes the value of having another pair of eyes on your code, but there's a sort of institutional inertia that prevents it from happening in a lot of shops. In the chapter titled A Little Help from Your Friends (pdf), Karl explains:

Busy practitioners are sometimes reluctant to spend time examining a colleague's work. You might be leery of a coworker who asks you to review his code. Does he lack confidence? Does he want you to do his thinking for him? "Anyone who needs his code reviewed shouldn't be getting paid as a software developer," scoff some review resisters.

In a healthy software engineering culture, team members engage their peers to
improve the quality of their work and increase their productivity. They understand that the time they spend looking at a colleague's work product is repaid when other team members examine their own deliverables. The best software engineers I have known actively sought out reviewers. Indeed, the input from many reviewers over their careers was part of what made these developers the best.

In addition to the above chapter, you can sample Chapter 3 (pdf) courtesy of the author's own Process Impact website. This isn't just feel-good hand waving. There's actual data behind it. Multiple studies show code inspections are startlingly effective.

the average defect detection rate is only 25 percent for unit testing, 35 percent for function testing, and 45 percent for integration testing. In contrast, the average effectiveness of design and code inspections are 55 and 60 percent.

So why aren't you doing code reviews? Maybe it's because you haven't picked out a coding buddy yet!

Remember those school trips, where everyone was admonished to pick a buddy and stick with them? This was as much to keep everyone out of trouble as safe. Well, the same rule applies when you're building software. Before you check code in, give it a quick once-over with your buddy. Can you explain it? Does it make sense? Is there anything you forgot?

I am now required by law to link to this cartoon.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

But seriously, this cartoon illustrates exactly the kind of broad reality check we're looking for. It doesn't have to be complicated to be effective. WTFs/minute is a perfectly acceptable unit of measurement to use with your coding buddy. The XP community has promoted pair programming for years, but I think the buddy system is a far more practical way to achieve the same results.

Besides, who wouldn't want to be half of an awesome part-time coding dynamic duo?

That's way more exciting than the prospect of being shackled to the same computer with another person. Think about all the other classic dynamic duos out there:

• Batman and Robin
  
• Tango and Cash
  
• Lennon and McCartney
  
• Mario and Luigi
  
• Starsky and Hutch
  
• Siegfried and Roy
  
• Turner and Hooch
  
• Abbott and Costello
  
• Crockett and Tubbs
  
• Jobs and Wozniak
  
• Bert and Ernie
  
• Ponch and Jon
  
• Hall and Oates
  
• Cheech and Chong
  

Individuals can do great things, but two highly motivated peers can accomplish even more when they work together. Surely there's at least one programmer you work with who you admire or at least respect enough to adopt the buddy system with. (And if not, you might consider changing your company.)

One of the great joys of programming is not having to do it alone. So who's your coding buddy?

The Promise and Peril of Jumbo Frames

We sit at the intersection of two trends:

1. Most home networking gear, including routers, has safely transitioned to gigabit ethernet.
   
2. The generation, storage, and transmission of large high definition video files is becoming commonplace.
   

If that sounds like you, or someone you know, there's one tweak you should know about that can potentally improve your local network throughput quite a bit -- enabling Jumbo Frames.

The typical UDP packet looks something like this:

But the default size of that data payload was established years ago. In the context of gigabit ethernet and the amount of data we transfer today, it does seem a bit.. anemic.

The original 1,518-byte MTU for Ethernet was chosen because of the high error rates and low speed of communications. If a corrupted packet is sent, only 1,518 bytes must be re-sent to correct the error. However, each frame requires that the network hardware and software process it. If the frame size is increased, the same amount of data can be transferred with less effort. This reduces CPU utilization (mostly due to interrupt reduction) and increases throughput by allowing the system to concentrate on the data in the frames, instead of the frames around the data.

I use my beloved energy efficient home theater PC as an always-on media server, and I'm constantly transferring gigabytes of video, music, and photos to it. Let's try enabling jumbo frames for my little network.

The first thing you'll need to do is update your network hardware drivers to the latest versions. I learned this the hard way, but if you want to play with advanced networking features like Jumbo Frames, you need the latest and greatest network hardware drivers. What was included with the OS is unlikely to cut it. Check on the network chipset manufacturer's website.

Once you've got those drivers up to date, look for the Jumbo Frames setting in the advanced properties of the network card. Here's what it looks like on two different ethernet chipsets:

 

That's my computer, and the HTPC, respectively. I was a little disturbed to notice that neither driver recognizes exactly the same data payload size. It's named "Jumbo Frame" with 2KB - 9KB settings in 1KB increments on the Realtek, and "Jumbo Packet" with 4088 or 9014 settings on the Marvell. I know that technically, for jumbo frames to work, all the networking devices on the subnet have to agree on the data payload size. I couldn't tell quite what to do, so I set them as you see above.

(I didn't change anything on my router / switch, which at the moment is the D-Link DGL-4500; note that most gigabit switches support jumbo frames, but you should always verify with the manufacturer's website to be sure.)

I then ran a few tests to see if there was any difference. I started with a simple file copy.

Default network settings

Jumbo Frames enabled

My file copy went from 47.6 MB/sec to 60.0 MB/sec. Not too shabby! But this is a very ad hoc sort of testing. Let's see what the PassMark Network Benchmark has to say.

Default network settings

Jumbo Frames enabled

This confirms what I saw with the file copy. With jumbo frames enabled, we go from 390,638 kilobits/sec to 477,927 kilobits/sec average. A solid 20% improvement.

Now, jumbo frames aren't a silver bullet. There's a reason jumbo frames are never enabled by default: some networking equipment can't deal with the non-standard frame sizes. Like all deviations from default settings, it is absolutely possible to make your networking worse by enabling jumbo frames, so proceed with caution. This SmallNetBuilder article outlines some of the pitfalls:

1) For a large frame to be transmitted intact from end to end, every component on the path must support that frame size.

The switch(es), router(s), and NIC(s) from one end to the other must all support the same size of jumbo frame transmission for a successful jumbo frame communication session.

2) Switches that don't support jumbo frames will drop jumbo frames.

In the event that both ends agree to jumbo frame transmission, there still needs to be end-to-end support for jumbo frames, meaning all the switches and routers must be jumbo frame enabled. At Layer 2, not all gigabit switches support jumbo frames. Those that do will forward the jumbo frames. Those that don't will drop the frames.

3) For a jumbo packet to pass through a router, both the ingress and egress interfaces must support the larger packet size. Otherwise, the packets will be dropped or fragmented.

If the size of the data payload can't be negotiated (this is known as PMTUD, packet MTU discovery) due to firewalls, the data will be dropped with no warning, or "blackholed". And if the MTU isn't supported, the data will have to be fragmented to a supported size and retransmitted, reducing throughput.

In addition to these issues, large packets can also hurt latency for gaming and voice-over-IP applications. Bigger isn't always better.

Still, if you regularly transfer large files, jumbo frames are definitely worth looking into. My tests showed a solid 20% gain in throughput, and for the type of activity on my little network, I can't think of any downside.
