Return
The error, "Attempting to deserialize an empty stream", sometimes occurs when you attempt to build a Web Site project using Measurement Studio controls.
On Microsoft Windows Vista x64, when using Visual Studio 2008 without Service Pack 1 installed, the error "Attempting to deserialize an empty stream" occurs when you attempt to build a Web Site project using Measurement Studio controls.

Workaround: Upgrade Visual Studio 2008 to Service Pack 1.

Reported Version: 8.5  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 11/17/2008

Return
Resizing the font of the CWNumEdit control causes the text to flicker before it updates.
When resizing the font of the CWNumEdit ActiveX control, the text flickers back to the default size momentarily and then updates. This behavior occurs in Visual C++ and Visual Basic 6 but does not occur in .NET.

Workaround: N/A

Return
If you copy and paste dynamically filtered help content into a text editor, such as Microsoft Word, you may see content that applies to components not installed on your machine.
At page load time, Measurement Studio dynamically filters documentation based on the components or package you have installed. If you copy and paste dynamically filtered help content into a text editor, such as Microsoft Word, you may see content that applies to components not installed on your machine.

Return
Measurement Studio Support for Visual Studio 2005 Visual C++ examples do not compile when upgraded to Visual Studio 2008.
If you upgrade a Visual Studio 2005 VCNET example or to Visual Studio 2008 by opening the Visual Studio 2005 solution in Visual Studio 2008, the upgraded application will not compile. The application will not compile because National Instruments defines the minimum system requirement through the symbol _WIN32_WINNT, which is set to 0x0400 (WINNT). This value conflicts with the SDK 6.0 default value of _WIN32_IE, which is used by Visual Studio 2008 Visual C++.

Workaround: You should make the values of _WIN32_WINNT and _WIN32_IE compatible for usage with SDK 6.0. To do this, either increase the value of _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0500 (Win2k) or decrease the value of _WIN32_IE to a value <0x0601.

Return
Network variable performance decreases when machines hosting the reader, writer, and variables are mixed between Logos and LogosXT.
Logos is the National Instruments proprietary protocol for inter-process communication that is used by NI-Publish Subscribe Protocol (psp:). Performance is especially degraded when the writer and network variable host use LogosXT and the reader that attempts to read the network variable uses Logos. This issue occurs for all reader classes.

Workaround: For optimum performance, National Instruments recommends that all machines accessing network variables, including the machine that hosts the variable, should use LogosXT. If using LogosXT on all machines is not possible, you should disable LogosXT. You disable LogosXT by adding a DWORD value named DisablePSPXT to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LogosXT and setting its value to 1. If you must use a mix of Logos versions, you can reduce the performance loss by using Variable Manager. Use Variable Manager to configure a sufficiently large server-side buffer for the network variable.

Return
Creating network variables causes a small memory leak
Creating a network variable using the ServerVariable.Create or ServerVariableInfo.Create methods results in a memory leak of approximately 50 bytes per variable that is created.

Workaround: Consider using implicitly created network variables if you are creating and deleting numerous variables over a long period of time.

Return
Measurement Studio controls might exhibit evaluation behavior.
If you have installed Measurement Studio 8.5 on a machine that has earlier versions of the Measurement Studio user interface and 3D graph controls and then uninstall Measurement Studio 8.5, the controls might exhibit evaluation software behavior for 30 days. Note: Applications that install earlier versions of the Measurement Studio user interface and 3D graph controls include ComponentWorks 2.0, Measurement Studio 1.0 and later, and LabVIEW 6i and later.

Workaround: Use the Measurement Studio ActiveX License Fixer Utility located on your CD in the ActiveX License Fixer Utility folder to fix this problem.

Reported Version: 6.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 11/17/2008
133322

Return
When the Windows Forms Designer and a source code window are both open, and the Windows Forms Designer is active, the Parameter Assistant does not restrict code from being inserted into the source file.
Instead, code is inserted into the source file at the last cursor location, which might have been changed by the Windows Forms Designer.

Workaround: N/A

133380

Return
In some circumstances, the network variable class library deadlocks if you are stepping through code in a network variable class library event handler.
The network variable class library deadlocks if you are stepping through code in a network variable class library event handler and you are watching any of the following properties in the Debugger Watch Window:

  •  ConnectionStatus,

  •  NetworkVariableBufferedSubscriber.ItemCapacity,

  • NetworkVariableBufferedSubscriber.ItemCount,

  •  NetworkVariableBufferedWriter.ItemCapacity, or

  • NetworkVariableBufferedWriter.ItemCount.


When the Debugger evaluates properties in the Watch Window, it freezes all other threads except the currently executing thread. When the network variable thread is frozen, the network variable class library deadlocks.

Workaround: To work around this issue, do not add the properties listed above to the Watch Window when stepping through network variable event handler code.

Reported Version: 8.1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 11/17/2008
133384

Return
In some instances, running your Visual C++/CLI project results in unlicensed exceptions.
In Visual C++/CLI projects, when you drop a Measurement Studio control on a form, Visual Studio references the Measurement Studio assemblies from the GAC. If you select Measurement Studio»Refresh Project License File, the contents of the .licx file are cleared. Without the proper contents in the .licx file, running your project results in unlicensed exceptions.

Workaround: To refresh the .licx file, select Measurement Studio»View .NET Class Library Wizard. In the Measurement Studio .NET Class Library Wizard dialog box, deselect the Measurement Studio libraries and close the dialog box. Run the Measurement Studio .NET Class Library Wizard again and select the Measurement Studio libraries.

Reported Version: 7.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 11/17/2008
133413

Return
The Windows Forms Designer presents an error page stating that parts cannot be found.
If your project references NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms, but does not reference the assemblies it depends on, there are circumstances in which the Windows Forms Designer presents an error page stating that parts cannot be found. This occurs when the Windows Forms Designer re-parses its generated code and is unable to resolve references to types that are in the assemblies that NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms depends on.

Workaround: To fix this problem, add project references to NationalInstruments.UI and NationalInstruments.Common. Measurement Studio does this for you automatically, so you see this issue only if you disable Measurement Studio integration features in Visual Studio.

Reported Version: 7.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 11/17/2008

Workaround: Upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 SP1. The controls will display correctly at run time even without SP1.

Reported Version: 8.5  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 01/05/2009
130937

Return
Dotted lines in ActiveX controls are printed as solid lines in some cases.
GDI draws the dotted lines as solid if the width of the line is greater than 1. While printing a control, a metafile is created which normally involves scaling of the control and consequently scaling of the width of the line. This makes the width of the line greater than 1 and the print will have a solid line instead of a dotted line.

Workaround: There are two workaround options:


  • Set the line width to zero. When the line width is set to zero, the width of the line is 1 on screen and in metafiles.

  • Alternatively, you can create the metafile without scaling. To do this, provide the screen DPI as the parameter to the ControlImageEx method. Then, print without scaling by setting the print area to exactly or less than the size of the control.
