VS2015 Code Metrics Powertool CA0055 Error

December 28, 2016, 10:10 am
$

0

Context:

I downloaded the code metrics powertool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48213&wa=wsignin1.0).

  • I'm using Powershell to automate the command line call.
  • I'm analyzing both new and older .dll and .exe files. 
  • I'm running the powertool on a VM where I have administrator access; analyzing files on that same VM.

On 84% of cases (out of about 10,000), I receive the following error (where exampleFileName is a path to a file that does exist at that location):

.\metrics : error : CA0055 : Could not load file: 'E:\exampleFileName.dll'.
At line:48 char:13
+             .\metrics /f:$filePath /o:$outFilePath /directory:$directory
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (error : CA0055 ...exampleFileName.dll'.:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError


Note: I don't have FxCop.exe in the FxCop directory, just running off of metrics.exe.

Question:

Could this be from running the code from the ISE? Unfortunately I do not get any analysis results when this error is hit; the program just continues to the next file. I get the same results running from the Powershell console. 

Could this be a missing reference error? (as per https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6a9db9d2-7316-48a4-b35f-4e939c86a8e0/ca0055-could-not-load-eflanguagesalesposeidonwebintegrationdll-ca0052-no-targets-were?forum=vstscode)

I am receiving some CA0058 missing reference errors as well, just wondering if this could be more missing reference errors not being cast correctly.

Could this be a .NET versioning issue? (as per https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/913447) 

Are there any ways to work around this issue that do not involve changing the project files?

Cannot sign in or create account

I am using Visual Studio(VS) 2015, Community edition.

The trial period has expired and I am trying to sign in.

I very rarely use my Microsoft(MS) account and even less so for VS.

I tried to sign in using my work email. I tried my password for that account but it failed with the error message that the account name and password does not exist. I tried using "forgot password" to get a temporary one but that resulted in the message:

"The user ID you entered does not exist. Please check that you have typed your user ID correctly."

I tried creating an account but as soon as I enter my work email address, I get the error message:

"<myemail> is already a Microsoft account. Please try a different email address."

Also, I had to sign in using my credentials to post this question, which indicates that I do have an account and that I do have the correct password. I don't know any other way to proceed.

Trouble Installing Visual Studio Community 2017 RC

I've tried several times to install Visual Studio Community 2017 RC several times without success. I also uninstalled and re-installed, as well as the "repair" option a few times. After uninstalling, I used a tool called TotalUninstaller to completely remove any remnants of Visual Studio before trying to install it again. Even after doing that, the installer quits with message "Setup Operation Failed".

Here is the log file:

LNK2019 "Unable to add a project-to-project reference"

January 3, 2017, 12:35 pm

I have several VS projects that I need to build. It may be worth noting that the last time these projects were built was with VS2008 and now I'm required to use VS2015. I've noticed the msdn link on error code LNK2019 points out a possible cause of this error that I believe is related to my case. Its described as 

"A build dependency is only defined as a project dependency in the solution. In earlier versions of Visual Studio, this level of dependency was sufficient. However, starting with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio requires a project to project reference. If your project does not have a project-to-project reference, you may receive this linker error. Add a project-to-project reference to fix it."

There are a total of "5" projects i'm building. I've been able to build three successfully but the last two keep complaining about external symbols with error code "LNK2019". In fact the majority of these "LNK2019" errors that show up all point to one file called xxxxxAPI.lib (si_api.obj). I've tried following the instructions in adding a project to project reference from here <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f3st0d45.aspx>. However when I go into "Add Reference" i'm greeted with a black dialog box giving me no options in projects to add.

I'm sure this is a lack of understanding on my part and would appreciate any feedback. If you would be so kind in being detailed on your answer that would be great as I'm not a VS guru.

Thanks

I've used previous versions of visual studio, but its been awhile. I have a fortran77 code I want to compile that consists of .f source files and include files with a .inc extension. I created the project ok and added the source files. I even set the include directory under Project > ProjectName Properties > Fortran > General but when I tried to compile the project, it still doesn't see the include files (error#5102: Cannot open include file 'filename') I know I must be lissing something obvious, but I don't know what.

Solution turns to single project - Multi project impossible

I was wondering what could I be doing wrong when I have the empty solution turning into a single project as soon as I create the first project.

I create an empty solution in an attempt to create a multi-project solution.

As soon as I add the first project, the solution header turns into a project one in the solution explorer and the only options are to add items or components, no additional projects.

Trivial question but help would be much appreciated.

Where can I find the Microsoft C library function definitions (i.e. code)?

In order to understand the detailed internal implementations of pointers, etc. I'd like to inspect the library functions of Microsoft C code; the "string.c" code for example (not the "string.h" header file).

Does anybody know where to find / download these code files?

One little code example might be the "_strlen" function. It must be something like below:

size_t _strlen(const char *src) {
  char *sTmp = (char *)src;
  while (*sTmp++);
  return (sTmp - src - 1);
}

Xamarin forms activity indicator stops animating in android only

Hi All,

We are using an activity indicator to indicate to the user that some process is going on, but the activity indicator stops  its animation (gets frozen) when some heavy operation is going on the main thread.
As a fix we tried to run methods in background thread, but this causes sqlite to throw errors like busy , db lock resulting in app crash.
Is it possible to run the activity indicator (or any other loading popup) independent of the main thread (on background thread)?

We have tried ACR user dialogs, gif within webview, AndHUD with no success. 
The BTProgressHUD loader works fine on IOS.

Regards,
Richard

Unexpected error placing data into a CEdit control

Hi,

I have a CPropertyPage dialog, with a CEdit control, and it if failing with an exception when I put data into it. The CEdit control has "Number" set to true in its Properties, text centered and all other values set to their standard defaults.

During the OnInitDialog function I obtain the current value for an "int" variable, and use the the following code to update the CEdit control:

    if (m_nHeightModifier == 0)
    {
        m_edHeightModifier.Clear();
    }
    else
    {
        szString.Format(_T("%i"), 15); // This value works
        szString.Format(_T("%i"), 13); // This value works
        szString.Format(_T("%i"), 12); // This value fails
        m_edHeightModifier.SetWindowText(szString);
    }
    return;

The szString.Format show different values I have hardcoded for testing. With the values of 15 and 13 the code worked. WIth a value of 12 or below the code fails.

Many thanks in advance

WinUSB Application template broken in VS 2015/2017?

I was going to follow this tutorial here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn376872(v=vs.85).aspx

I installed the Windows 10 WDK and decided to try it. When I create a new WinUSB Application template, the Solution Explorer only has one solution which contains the .cpp and .h files, but the second solution with the .inf file is not there. Same thing happens for VS 2017RC. I'm puzzled as to why this is happening.

Windows Resize Arrows Not Showing Up -- Visual Studio Community Edition 2015

Hi,

Interesting question. I am at a client site and they have Visual Studio Community Edition 2015. Windows, such as the Solution Explorer window or the Properties window or the Output window can't be resized. When we hover the mouse over the barrier line between these windows, no resize arrows show up.

Does anyone have any ideas? I've never seen this issue before.

Thank you!

Croix
