Crm 2011 web resource debugger error- no source available - dynamics-crm-2011

Please help here.
I put debugger statement in the Javascript function which is called on the onchange event of the field.But when the event is triggered i selected visual studio debugger. But i got the error messsge-No source available[There is no source code available for the curretn location. Couldn't understand why this happens or the cause for it.

Not sure if that’s your case but I’ve seen this behavior while using Xrm.Page.ui.refreshRibbon() in JS code.
I found two simple workarounds. The first and obvious one is to comment the refreshribbon line (if possible), the second is to use chrome IDE while debugging.

Android Studio: StringBuilder content not shown in preview of debugger

I'm implementing an app, which uses (kotlin.text.)StringBuilder instances at various points. Since today, I have to double-click the variable name and, after that, double-click 'value' to see the content shown as one character per line (next to 'value', it also says e.g. char[20]). Until yesterday, I was able to see their contents in the variables view of the debugger right after double-clicking the variable name and - what is even more important - in one single string line. I have to compare the content of several instances and therefore cannot work efficiently with this view.
Is there some kind of setting, which needs to be reset? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an intended behavior or am I the only one having this bug/behavior?
After getting this, I already tried restarting android studio, as well as upgrading all components to the latest version. I also tried creating an entirely new project with only one StringBuilder to rule out any problems in my current project - but, no luck so far.
Any hint would be much appreciated!
You need to add a .toString() call to your string builder to get the value of the string.
I finally figured out the solution to the problem. It was indeed a setting I had to reset. As I did not actively change it, this solution might be useful to others, too.
Via 'Setting > Build, Execution, Deployment > Debugger > Data Views > Java', I found the option 'Enable 'toString()' object view:'. After selecting this option, everything worked again as before.
Thanks to everyone, who tried to figure out the solution!

Why am I getting a DDE error when opening a file in Explorer that associated with our application?

Our legacy MDI desktop application uses the /dde switch in the association. When opening a file associated with it, and the application has not yet started up, Explorer pops up the following error:
There was a problem sending the command to the program.
The registry looks something like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document]
#="App File"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\DefaultIcon]
#="d:\\Program Files (x86)\\MyApp\\version\\app.exe,1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files\\App\\app.exe\" /dde"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\open\ddeexec]
#="[open(\"%1\")]"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\print]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\print\command]
#="C:\\Program Files\\App\\app.exe /dde"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\print\ddeexec]
#="[print(\"%1\")]"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\printto]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\printto\command]
#="C:\\Program Files\\App\\app.exe /dde"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\App.Document\shell\printto\ddeexec]
#="[printto(\"%1\",\"%2\",\"%3\",\"%4\")]"
Just to be clear, I just took these entries from the registry. I'm not well versed in what they do, but I can hazard a guess that they link the verbs to actions by way of the DDE interface.
Note that if the application has already started up, the document opens up fine in that instance. This is only an issue if the application hasn't started up and must execute a new instance of the application.
So, what is happening is that the associated file is opened through Explorer by double clicking on it, and the associated application is executed. Explorer would then pop up that message and our application would do nothing. Double clicking on the file a second time would then open the document.
We've had this issue previously, but we just decided to ignore it for a few years as no one really knew what it was and we had other priorities at the time. Our workaround was to tell the user to change the /dde to "%1". Yeah, lame, but it worked well enough. One issue with doing that though, was that it would execute a new instance of the application, regardless if the application was already running or not.
Anyways, this issue is now starting to become an actual problem and needs to be fixed. One of our developers is saying that the DDE system is antiquated and we should try writing a COM component that will redirect to our application like Visual Studio does as debugging this issue could take a while. I've not verified that yet, nor researched how much effort that would be. However, either may be resource intensive, either on the debugging or the research side, so I'm trying to do some preliminary research to see what I can dig up and determine which is the better approach.
Stepping in the code, I was able to determine that it gets to a ::SetWindowPlacement() call and stepping over that will cause the error message box to pop up (if Explorer hasn't timed out first). As it is a WINAPI, I cannot step into that function to see what it is doing.
The application is written mostly in VC/VC++ using MFC/API and other libraries.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Edit
Some additional information:
I was able to intercept all of the SendMessage()/PostMessage()/DispatchMessage() function calls non-destructively, which will log all of the messages. This was achieved by using MS Detours 3.0.
What I am seeing is that there are 4 SendMessage calls with a WM_COPYDATA message which appears to be coming out of shell32.dll. However, it doesn't appear to be the messages that are at fault though.
Putting a __debugbreak() when it detects the WM_COPYDATA message results in no error until a few steps beyond. How far depends on if I step or if I put a breakpoint and run the code to somewhere beyond where I thought I was getting the error. Using DebugBreak() seems to slow down the debugger to the point where I can't step without the error showing up.
What I can't understand is that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what is triggering the error message to pop up. I doesn't appear to be a timeout as the timeout appears to be long until I start stepping in the code, and sometimes no messages are being Sent/Posted by the code. So there's no WM_DDE_ACK (or any message for that matter) being sent back to the Explorer window that has initiated this. This is very frustrating.
To further complicate things, if I use the intrinsic __debugbreak() call and I have a breakpoint somewhere else in the code, it sometimes can stop at that breakpoint rather than stopping at the __debugbreak(). And sometimes, when I run the code immediately when I get control of the debugger, it will sometimes result in a second break, as if it hit another __debugbreak(). What's that all about? Inconsistent debugging is certainly making this issue even harder to track down. >:(
This DDE stuff is still the in use for MDI interfaces. So if one EXE opens different files.
If you can launch you application multiple times and this is OK, for the customer, switching the entries in the registry to the normal place holders from the SDI is OK too.
Usually this message is shown from the explorer, if the EXE doesn't get ready in a specific time to accept the DDE commands.
So the main question for you is: What is changed or so slow in the application that the DDE messages are not retrieved.
On case would be if it takes a real long time until the message loop starts. A running message loop for the main window is required for DDE support.
SetWindowPos istself will not be the problem, but it might cause hundreds of messages (WM_SIZE, ...) to be fired to your application, and every handler in your application here might be the problem.
Just place a little timer inside the application in front of the SetWindowPos and check how long it takes to return...
Check how long the app takes, until InitInstance is exited with TRUE. After InitInstance exits CWinApp::Run starts and the message loop starts.
I've run into the same problem.
My solution was to add the ../ddeexec/* section in the registry on application startup and then remove them on application exit.
Not a very nice solution but it is easy to do, and it works.

Resolving warnings when building Azure SDK 2.3 project?

I'm getting 110 warnings in my build after installing Azure SDK 2.3 that I don't recall seeing before. They are all for the file "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets".
An example of one such warning is:
The element 'PropertyGroup' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child element 'CloudToolsVersion'.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or know the right way to fix it?
Well, it looks like I just needed to close any open editors for msbuild project files to get those to disappear. Other answers I found suggested on the web were to disable schema validation or to extend the schema myself.
Very scary! From your solution and hints from other similar questions, I think I know what's going on: When any build script file (such as a .props) is open in a text editor, it turns on /validate. This is used to see red wavies in the editor and gives the warnings when the project is loaded by any MSBuild task. The schema holds the various element used by the MS targets infrastructure, and doesn't know anything else. I'm not sure what good that is, but there you have it.

Open a dialog from a Sitecore uiUpload Pipeline process

I'm currently trying to show a SheerResponse.YesNoCancel() dialog within the Save uiUpload pipeline process from Sitecore. The problem appears when I do that call and it throws a NullException. I thought it was weird so I started copying the code from Sitecore's DLL and adding it to my solution. After that, I found that if the property OutputEnable is false it returns a ClientCommand that is NULL and when it tries to add a control to it, the Exception appears. So Fixing that I was able to finish the execution of that method. Anyway I still can't show the dialog. So the question is: Can I show a Dialog from a Sitecore uiUpload pipeline?
Have you tried using Sitecore.Context.ClientPage.ClientResponse.YesNoCancel(), i did something similar to what you are trying to do, but i used Alert(), worked fine for me.
Update: Actually inside uiUpload pipeline you can't call this method, however what you can do is use HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<html><head><script type=\"text/Javascript\">[Your Java Script</script></head></html>"), you will need to abort the pipeline after this args.AbortPipeline();, not sure if this will help your case or not
No you cannot. From http://sdn.sitecore.net/Articles/Media/Prevent%20Files%20from%20Uploading.aspx:
The uiUpload pipeline is run not as part of the Sheer event, but as part of the form loading process in response to a post back. This is because the uploaded files are only available during the "real" post back, and not during a Sheer UI event. In this sense, the uiUpload pipeline has not been designed to provide UI.
That page was written for v5.1 and 5.2, but I'm pretty sure it still applies. The page claims that you can emit javascript to the page like Ahmed suggested, but it didn't work when I tried it.

Information Management Policy in SharePoint

An obscure puzzle, but it's driving me absolutely nuts:
I'm creating a custom Information Management Policy in MOSS. I've implemented IPolicyFeature, and my policy feature happily registers itself by configuring a new SPItemEventReceiver. All new items in my library fire the events as they should, and it all works fine.
IPolicyFeature also has a method ProcessListItem, which is supposed to retroactively apply the policy to items that were already in the library (at least, it's supposed to do that for as long as it keeps returning true). Except it doesn't. It only applies the policy to the first item in the library, and I have absolutely no idea why.
It doesn't seem to be throwing an exception, and it really does return true from processing that first item, and I can't think what else to look at. Anyone?
Edit: Cory's answer, below, set me on the right track. Something else was indeed failing -- I didn't find out what, since my windbg-fu isn't what it should be, but I suspect it was something like "modifying a collection while it's being iterated over". My code was modifying the SPListItem that's passed into ProcessListItem, and then calling SystemUpdate on it; as soon as I changed the code so that it created its own variable (pointing at the exact same SPListItem) and used that, the problem went away...
There's only a couple of things I can think of to try. First, are you developing on the box where you might be able to use Visual Studio to debug? So just stepping through it.
Assuming that's not the case - what I'd do is fire up WinDBG and attach it to the process just before I registered the policy. Turn on first chance exceptions so that it breaks whenever they occur. you can do that by issuing the command "sxe clr" once it is broken in. Here's a little more info about WinDBG:
http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/archive/2008/06/05/setting-net-breakpoints-in-windbg-for-applications-that-crash-on-startup.aspx
What I'd do is then watch for First Chance exceptions to be thrown, and do a !PrintException to see what is going on. My guess is that there is an exception being thrown somewhere that is causing the app to stop processing the other items.
What does the logic look like for your ProcessListItem? Have you tried just doing a return true to make sure it works?
Some nice ideas there, thanks. The Visual Studio debugger wasn't showing an exception (and I've wrapped everything in try/catch blocks just in case), but I hadn't thought of trying Windbg...
