We want to be able to easily and safely deploy a new version of our application to our production server. What needs to be done...

We have used for 8 years an ActiveX created in Delphi and we are now using it on Internet Explorer over the internet (and not on local machine as it was always been the process until here) As today we use this object in the HTML: <object id="ActiveX" classid="CLSID:8EC68701-329D-4567-BCB5-9EE4BA43D358" width="14" height="14"> ...

Unfortunately it isn't transforming exactly as specified and is adding some whitespace to an element's text. This whitespace is then being picked up by the Castle Windsor configuration that I use and bombing the application. Here's ...
Hi there, we've recently stumbled across the excellent Dispatch for ASP FTP deployment plug in. It looks great apart from one thing: It doesn't work with Visual Studio 2010, at least for us, anyway. (It's supposed to work fine.) (Yes, we've tried everything: We've managed to get Dispatch working for another FTP site, but not the main on...

If it matters: the .exe is written in ...
