What are some "good" ways to use longjmp/setjmp for C error handling?
My apologies if this has been address/asked before. I have to use C for one project and I am thinking of using longjmp/setjmp for error handling as I think it will be much easier to handle error in one central place than return codes. I would appreciate if there is some leads on this. I am particularly concerned with resource cleanup ...

How do I close Word (or other app) if an error occurs in a VBScript?
I wrote a VBScript app to open Word and Excel documents and search and replace blocks of text and various sections, pulling the new text from a plain text file. I purposely avoided any error checking, primarily because I couldn't figure it out at the time (and the script ran reliably anyway). Now months later on my local machine, I am in...

I've replaced an old PHP web site with a new ASP.NET MVC web site. The old page addresses no longer work. I want each to 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect to specific new addresses.

Should I use delegation here?
I currently have two class hierarchies: one for handling errors and another for logging them. I am wondering 1) whether it is advantageous to delegate error handling to a class separate from the error handler and 2) whether what I have is a good design. Here is what I have: class ErrorHandler { public __construct(ErrorLogger $ErrorLo...
