I guess what i am trying to say is that it seems everything has to go into the root of the views/controllers folders which could get unwieldy when working on a project that if built with web forms might have lots and lots of folders and subfolders to partition the application.

My current solution has been to just keep my controls out of the far right 40 pixels or so that the vertical scrollbar will be taking up.

One of the things we do is transform nodes inline and importing nodes from one XML document to another.
Sadly , when you save nodes to an XmlTextWriter (actually whatever XmlWriter.Create(Stream) returns), the namespace definitions get all thrown in there, regardless of it is necessary (previously defined) or not. You get kind of the following xml:

Of course, there is SPL, but beside that ?<br />

controls with additional properties. For one of these properties, I have
written a UITypeEditor. So far, all works just fine.
The extender also has a couple of properties itself, which I am trying to
use as a sort of default for the UITypeEditor. What I want to do is to be
able to set a property on the extender itself (not the extended controls),
and when I open up the UITypeEditor for one of the additional properties on
an extended control, I want to set a value in the UITypeEditor to the value
of the property on the extender.
A simple example: The ExtenderProvider has a property DefaultExtendedValue. On the form I set the value of this property to "My Value". Extended controls have, through the provider, a property ExtendedValue with a UITypeEditor. When I open the editor for the property ExtendedValue the default (initial) value should be set to "My Value".
It seems to me that the best place to do this would be
UITypeEditor.EditValue, just before calling
IWindowsFormsEditorService.DropDownControl or .ShowDialog.
The only problem is that I can't (or I haven't discovered how to) get hold
of the extender provider itself in EditValue, to read the value of the property in question and set it in the UITypeEditor. Context gives me the extended
control, but that is of no use to me in this case.
Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying? Any help appreciated!
Thanks

Further to that, some calculations are performed across the different sets of data.
There's no clear single model (that maps to a table at least) that seems to make sense as the starting point for this, so the various summaries are pulled from the contributing models in the controller, passed into the view and the calculations are performed there.
But that seems, well, *dirty*. But controllers are supposed to be lightweight, aren't they? And business logic shouldn't be in views, as I have it as present.

I can connect to the CAS server to get the service ticket but when I try to connect to validate the ticket my script returns with the following error from the IO::Socket::SSL module:
500 Can't connect to <CAS Server>:443 (Bad hostname '<CAS Server>')
(<CAS Server> substituted for real server name)
Symptoms/Tests:
1. If I type the generated URL for the authentication into the web browser's location bar it returns just fine with the expected XML snippet. So it is not a bad host name.
2. If I generate a script without using the AuthCAS module but using the IO::Socket::SSL module directly to query the CAS server for validation on the generated service ticket the Perl script will run fine from the command line but not in the browser.
3. If I add the AuthCAS module into the script in item 2, the script no longer works on the command line and still doesn't work in the browser.
Here is the bare-bones script that produces the error:

My best right now (not working though) is:

What limitations do screen readers have that I should be most aware of, and what can I do to avoid hitting these limitations.
This question was sparked by reading another question about [non-image based captchas][1]. In there, a commenter said that honey pot form fields (form fields hidden with CSS that only a bot would fill in), are a bad idea, because screen readers would still pick them up.
Are screen readers really so primitive that they would read text that isn't even displayed on the screen? Ideally, couldn't you make a screen reader that waited until the page was finished loading, applied all css, and even ran Javascript onload functions before it figured out what was actually displayed, and then read that off to the user? You could probably even identify parts of the page that are menus or table of contents, and give some sort of easy way for those parts to be read exclusively or skipped over. I would think that the programming community could come up with a better solution to this problem.

I've managed to crystallize my reluctance to do so into a simple parallel.
Version Control can be used well or badly.
The 'light side' of version control is when you use it to keep track of your changes, are able to go back to older versions when you break stuff, and when you publish your changes so your peers can see your work-in-progress.
The 'dark side' of version control is when you don't use it properly so you don't 'checkpoint' your work by committing regularly, you keep a bunch of changes in your local checkout, and you don't share your changes with others as you make them.
Subversion makes both the light side and the dark side relatively hard. All the basics work, but few people really use branching in Subversion (beyond tagging and releasing) because merging is not straightforward at all. The support for it in Subversion itself is terrible, and there are scripts like svnmerge that make it better, but it's still not very good. So, these days, with good branching and merging support considered more and more like the necessity it is for collaborative development, Subversion doesn't match up.
On the other hand, the 'dark side' is pretty tough to follow too. You only need to be bitten once by not having your local changes commited once in a while to the online repository, and breaking your code with a simple edit you don't even remember making. So you end up making regular commits and people can see the work you're doing.
So, in the end Subversion ends up being a good middle-of-the-road VCS that, while a bit cumbersome for implementing the best practices, still makes it hard to get things very wrong.
In contrast, with a DVCS the cost of either going completely light side or dark side is a lot lower. Branching and merging is a lot simpler with these modern VCS systems. But the distributed aspect makes it easy to work in a set of local branches on your own machine, giving you the granular commits you need to checkpoint your work, possibly without ever publishing your changes so others can see, review, and collaborate.
So in a nutshell, here's the question: if I give our developers at work a DVCS, how can I make sure they use it to go to the 'light side', still publish their changes in a central location regularly, and make them understand that their one week local hack they didn't want to share yet might be just the thing some other developer could use to finish a feature while the first one is on holiday ?
If both the light side and the dark side of DVCS are so easy to get to, how do I keep them away from the dark side ? | version-control | svn | null | null | null | null | open | How do you deal with the light side and dark side of distributed version control systems ?

I've had some discussions recently at work about switching from Subversion to a DVCS like bazaar, and I would like to get other people's opinion.
I've managed to crystallize my reluctance to do so into a simple parallel.

I love [big monitors and multiple monitors][1]. I ran dual 19" CRTs for years, and switched to dual 19" LCDs a few years ago.

I really love these screens, but I feel like I'm not getting the most out of them.
Two big, widescreen monitors like these really feels like four regular monitors to me, since I can keep four web browsers or word documents open at the same time. I'll occasionally fill a whole screen with a single program (usually an IDE or Excel) but that's the exception. Problem is I'm having trouble using more than three windows at a time (yeah, I know, poor me right?). Either the extreme right or the extreme left of my screen just ends up getting neglected, either remaining empty or holding some Firefox instance that was related to whatever I was doing an hour ago. So I'm asking those with experience with enormous amounts of screen real estate (triple monitors or dual widescreens), what's the best way to put all that area to good use?

<br/>
As part of my job I work with several live websites. We need an efficient means of maintaining backups of the live folders over time. Additionally, updating these sites can be a pain, especially if a change happens to break in the live environment for whatever reason.
What would be ideal would be hassle-free source control.
I implemented SVN for a while which was great as a semi-solution for backup as well as revision control (easy reversion of temporary or breaking changes) etc.
Unfortunately SVN places .SVN hidden directories everywhere which cause problems, especially when other developers make folder structure changes or copy/move website directories. I've heard the argument that this is a matter of education etc. but the approach taken by SVN is simply not a practical solution for us.
I am thinking that maybe an incremental backup solution may be better.
Other possibilities include:
1. [SVK][1], which is command-line only which becomes a problem. Besides, I am unsure on how appropriate this would be.
2. [Mercurial][2], perhaps with some triggers to hide the distributed component which is not required in this case and would be unnecessarily complicated for other developers.
I experimented briefly with Mercurial but couldn't find a nice way to have the repository seperate and kept constantly in-sync with the live folder working copy. Maybe as a source control solution (making repository and live folder the same place) combined with another backup solution this could be the way to go.
One downside of Mercurial is that it doesn't place empty folders under source control which is problematic for websites which often have empty folders as placeholder locations for file uploads etc.
3. [Rsync][3], which I haven't really investigated.
I'd really appreciate your advice on the best way to maintain backups of live websites, ideally with an easy means of retrieving past versions quickly.

Because each type of Task has a multitude of different associated fields, I decided it would be best to represent each type of Task with a seperate class.
To do this, I constructed an abstract base class:
public abstract class Task
{
public enum TaskType
{
// Types of Tasks
}
public abstract TaskType Type
{
get;
}
public abstract LoadFromXml(XmlElement task);
public abstract XmlElement CreateXml(XmlDocument currentDoc);
}
Each task inherited from this base class, and included the code necessary to create itself from the passed in XmlElement, as well as serialize itself back out to an XmlElement.
A basic example:
public class MergeTask : Task
{
public override TaskType Type
{
get { return TaskType.Merge; }
}
// Lots of Properties / Methods for this Task
public MergeTask (XmlElement elem)
{
this.LoadFromXml(elem);
}
public override LoadFromXml(XmlElement task)
{
// Populates this Task from the Xml.
}
public override XmlElement CreateXml(XmlDocument currentDoc)
{
// Serializes this class back to xml.
}
}
The parser would then use code similar to this to create a task collection:
XmlNode taskNode = parent.SelectNode("tasks");
TaskFactory tf = new TaskFactory();
foreach (XmlNode task in taskNode.ChildNodes)
{
// Since XmlComments etc will show up
if (task is XmlElement)
{
tasks.Add(tf.CreateTask(task as XmlElement));
}
}
All of this works wonderfully, and allows me to pass tasks around using the base class, while retaining the structure of having individual classes for each task.
However, I am not happy with my code for TaskFactory.CreateTask. This method accepts an XmlElement, and then returns an instance of the appropriate Task class:
public Task CreateTask(XmlElement elem)
{
if (elem != null)
{
switch(elem.Name)
{
case "merge":
return new MergeTask(elem);
default:
throw new ArgumentException("Invalid Task");
}
}
}
Because I have to parse the XMLElement, I'm using a huge (10-15 cases in the real code) switch to pick which child class to instantiate. I'm hoping there is some sort of polymorphic trick I can do here to clean up this method.
Any advice?

I know for sure there are the obvious cons:
- Wide columns of text are hard to read
- Writing html/css using percents can be a pain
- It makes you vulnerable to having your design stretched past it's limits if an image is too wide, or a block of text is added that is too long. (see it's a pain to code the html/css)
The only Pro I can think of is that users who use the font-resizing that is built into their browser won't have to deal with columns that are only a few words long, with a body of whitespace on either side. However, I think that may be a browser problem more than anything else (Firefox 3 allows you to zoom **everything** instead of just the text, which comes in handy all the time

I would interpret VM Size in the Windows Task manager as either the total addressable virtual memory space or the amount of memory the process is currently using in the virtual memory space.
But in the Task Manager the WM Size is in many cases less than Mem Usage, which should be amount of RAM the process is using. Therefor I guess that WM Size means something else?

In one [podcast][1] Joel said that he had some problems with MySQL and the data wasn't consistent.
I would like to know whether someone had any such problems. Also when it comes to performance which can be easily tweaked?

I'm just using SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery() to execute it, and letting it take care of opening connections, etc.
Is there something else that could be overriding my timeout, or causing sql server to ignore it? I have run profiler over the query, and the trace doesn't look any different when I run it in management studio, versus in my code.
Management studio completes the query in roughly a minute, but even with a timeout set to 300, or 30000, my code still times out after 30 seconds. | sql-server | timeout | null | null | null | null | open | Timeout not being honoured in connection string

There's several libraries that can do that, and also a page with open-source code in asp (http://www.coveryourasp.com/ValidateEmail.asp#Result3), but I have hard time reading classic asp, and it seams that it uses some third-party library...
Does someone have code for smtp validation in c#, and/or general explanation of how it works?
