I have a project that is an api for a datastore that I created. When compiled creates api.dll.
I have a second project in the same solution that has a project reference to the api project which when compiled will create wrapper.dll. This is basically a wrapper for the api that is specific to an application.
When I use wrapper.dll in that other application, I have to copy wrapper.dll and api.dll to my new application. How can I get the wrapper project to compile the api.dll into itself so that i only have one dll to move around? | net | visualstudio | null | null | null | null | open | Compile a referenced dll

For added flexibility, they are sometimes forced to input actual HTML markup right into a text field, which then ends up as a varchar in the database. This works, but it's far from user-friendly.]
As such… some clients want a WYSIWYG editor for HTML. I'd like to convince them that they'd benefit from using simpler language (namely, Markdown). Ideally, what I'd like to have is a WYSIWYG editor for that. They don't need tables, or anything sophisticated like that.
A cursory search reveals [a .NET Markdown to HTML converter][1], and then we have [a Windows Forms-based text editor that outputs HTML][2], but apparently nothing that brings the two together. As a result, we'd still have our varchars with markup in there, but at least it would be both quite human-readable and still easily parseable.
Would this — a WYSIWYG editor that outputs Markdown, which is then later on parsed into HTML in ASP.NET — be feasible? Any alternative suggestions?

The problem is with plasticscm's replicate command itself. This is the command which should replicate from the US to AU, run ON the AU server.

I would like to only store MotorcycleAxle objects in a Motorcycle object's Axles array, and CarAxle objects in a Car object's Axles array. The problem is there is no way to override the array in the subclass to force one or the other. Ideally something like the following would be valid for the Motorcycle class:
class Motorcycle : Vehicle
{
public override List<MotorcycleAxle> Axles;
}
but the types have to match when overriding. How can I support this architecture? Will I just have to do a lot of run-time type checking and casting wherever the Axles member is accessed? I don't like adding run-time type checks because you start to lose the benefits of strong typing and polymorphism. There have to be at least some run-time checks in this scenario since the WheelAttached and Left/RightWheelAttached properties depend on the type, but I would like to minimize them.

I'm using:

Paged, NonPaged, PagedSystem, NonPagedSystem, Private, Virtual, WorkingSet
and then the "peaks": which i'm guessing just store the maximum values these last ones ever took.
Reading through the MSDN definition of each property hasn't proved too helpful for me. I have to admit my knowledge regarding how memory is managed (as far as paging and virtual goes) is very limited.
So my question is obviously "which one should I use?", and I know the answer is "it depends".
This process will basically hold a bunch of lists in memory of things that are going on, while other processes communicate with it and query it for stuff.

I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to make this re-write any easier. The standard practice I've been using so far is to spend maybe an hour or so reading over the app both to familiarize myself with it, but also to strip out commented-out/deprecated code. Then to work in a depth-first fashion. I'll start at the top and copy a segment of code in the aspx.cs file and start rewriting, making obvious refactorings as I go especially to take advantage of our ORM. If I get to a function call that we don't have, I'll write out the definition.
After I have everything coded I'll do a few passes at refactoring/testing. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make this process a little easier/more efficient. | asp.net | asp | migration | null | null | null | open | Migrating from ASP Classic to .NET and pain mitigation

function GetDealText(sUSCurASCII, sUSCurName, sTemplateOptionID, sSellerCompany, sOfferAmount, sSellerPremPercent, sTotalOfferToSeller, sSellerPremium, sMode, sSellerCurASCII, sSellerCurName, sTotalOfferToSeller_SellerCurr, sOfferAmount_SellerCurr, sSellerPremium_SellerCurr, sConditions, sListID, sDescription, sSKU, sInv_tag, sFasc_loc, sSerialNoandModel, sQTY, iLoopCount, iBidCount, sHTMLConditions, sBidStatus, sBidID, byRef bAlreadyAccepted, sFasc_Address1, sFasc_City, sFasc_State_id, sFasc_Country_id, sFasc_Company_name, sListingCustID, sAskPrice_SellerCurr, sMinPrice_SellerCurr, sListingCur, sOrigLocation)
I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to make this re-write any easier. The standard practice I've been using so far is to spend maybe an hour or so reading over the app both to familiarize myself with it, but also to strip out commented-out/deprecated code. Then to work in a depth-first fashion. I'll start at the top and copy a segment of code in the aspx.cs file and start rewriting, making obvious refactorings as I go especially to take advantage of our ORM. If I get to a function call that we don't have, I'll write out the definition.
After I have everything coded I'll do a few passes at refactoring/testing. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make this process a little easier/more efficient. | 0 |

Currently I have two machines with Outlook 2007. They both sync e-mail from Google Apps. One of the machines publishes my calendar to a secure server, which my other machine is subscribed to. The problem with this setup is that I have read-only calendar access on one of my machines, which sucks. Also soon I'll be upgrading to a smart-phone, so anything I do will also have to support that scenario.
1. Is there a better way to handle Outlook synchronization without setting up an exchange server in my basement?
2. If I have to setup Exchange, is it possible to make it pull e-mail, via IMAP, from Google Apps?

I'd like this to be XML, so that I can, in the future, just write XSLT to convert it to ODF or XHTML or whatever.
However, when searching for existing standards to use, the only one that looks promising is ODF. But that looks like massive overkill for what I'm thinking of. All I need is paragraph tags, font selection, font size & decoration... that's pretty much it. It would take me a long time to implement even a minimal ODF renderer and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
Right now I'm thinking of making my own XML format, but that's not really good practice. Better to use a standard, especially since then I can probably find the XSLTs I might need in the future already written.

How do you go about sending "datasets" between methods in objective-c. For example in C# you can populate a custom class with data and pass it around in a List of type custom class. EG if you had a customer class you would just do something like:
List<Customer> customers = DataLayer.GetAllCustomers();
The only way I can see how this could be done in obj-c would be to populate an NSArray with custom objects? Is this an efficient way to do things? Any other recommendations?

I know this may seem moot on an Intranet application, but nonetheless it is there.
We are using Windows authentication for our Intranet apps, so we tie in to our Active Directory with Basic Authentication and the credentials get stored in the browser cache, as opposed to a cookie when using .net forms authentication.
In IE6+ you can leverage a special JavaScript function they created by doing the following:
document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache", "false")
However, for the other browsers that are to be supported (namely Firefox at the moment, but I strive for multi-browser support), I simply display message to the user that they need to close their browser to log out of the application, which effectively flushes the application cache.
Does anybody know of some commands/hacks/etc. that I can use in other browsers to flush the authentication cache?

Once it has attached to the process and I attempt to set a breakpoint in one of the projects, it doesn't set a breakpoint in that file. It actually switches the current tab to another file in another project and sets a breakpoint in that document. If the file isn't open, it even goes so far as to open it for me. I can't explain this. I've got no clue. Anyone seen such odd behavior? I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it myself.
A little more info: if I set a breakpoint before attaching, it shows the "red dot" and says no symbols loaded...no problem...I expect that. When I attach and invoke my .net code from SalesLogix and switch back to VS, my breakpoint is completely gone (not even a warning that the source doesn't match the debug file). When I attempt to manually load the debug file, then I get a message that the symbol file does not match the module. The .pdb and the .dll are timestamped the same, so I'm stumped.
Anyone have any ideas?

The distinction between fork/exec and dynamic linking, besides being kind of artificial, doesn't carry over to interpreted languages: what about a Python/Perl/Ruby plugin, which gets loaded via `import` or `execfile`?

The only problem with this is using `default(T)`. When you call default on a value type or a string, it initializes it to a reasonable value (such as empty string). When you call `default(T)` on an object, it returns null. For various reasons we need to ensure that if it is not a primitive type, then we will have a default instance of the type, **not** null. Here is attempt 1:
T createDefault()
{
if(typeof(T).IsValueType)
{
return default(T);
}
else
{
return Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
}
}
Problem - string is not a value type, but it does not have a parameterless constructor. So, the current solution is:
T createDefault()
{
if(typeof(T).IsValueType || typeof(T).FullName == "System.String")
{
return default(T);
}
else
{
return Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
}

The only way to understand a concept is to get your fingers dirty and write the code, so I went the route of creating a simple interface library consisting of the IPlugin and IHost interfaces, a plugin implementation library of classes that implement IPlugin, and a simple console project that instantiates the IHost implementation class that does simple work with the plugin objects.
Using reflection, I wanted to iterate through the types contained inside my plugin implementation dll and create instances of types. I was able to sucessfully instantiate classes with this code, but I could not cast the created object to the interface.
I'm using
loop through assemblies
loop through types in assembly
// This successfully created the right object
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
// This threw an Invalid Cast Exception or returned null for an "as" cast
// even though the object implemented IPlugin
IPlugin i = (IPlugin) o;
I made the code work with this.
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
ObjectHandle oh = Activator.CreateInstance(assembly.FullName, type.FullName);
// This worked as I intended
IPlugin i = (IPlugin) oh.Unwrap();
i.DoStuff();
Here are my questions:
1. Activator.CreateInstance(Type t) returns an object, but I couldn't cast the object to an interface that the object implemented. Why?
2. Should I have been using a different overload of CreateInstance()?
3. What are the reflection related tips and tricks?
4. Is there some crucial part of reflection that I'm just not getting?

I can't find a way to control the order of virtual earth layers, other than the order in which they are added.
Does anyone know how to change the z index of Virtual Earth shape layers, or force a layer to the front? | javascript | virtual-earth | null | null | null | null | open | How to control layer ordering in Virtual Earth

Simplified code:
Dictionary<Guid, Record> dict = GetAllRecords();
myListView.DataSource = dict.Values.Where(rec => rec.Name == "foo");
myListView.DataBind();
I thought that would work but in fact it throws a **System.InvalidOperationException**:
> ListView with id 'myListView' must
> have a data source that either
> implements ICollection or can perform
> data source paging if AllowPaging is
> true.
In order to get it working I have had to resort to the following:
Dictionary<Guid, Record> dict = GetAllRecords();
List<Record> searchResults = new List<Record>();
var matches = dict.Values.Where(rec => rec.Name == "foo");
foreach (Record rec in matches)
searchResults.Add(rec);
myListView.DataSource = searchResults;
myListView.DataBind();
Is there a small gotcha in the first example to make it work?
