I tried scouring the web for help on this issue, but there are so many generic words in there, that I couldn't find much of anything that was relevant. I have MS Office 2007 installed on Vista and later installed XML Notepad 2007 (also a Microsoft product). It seems that the MS Access help system is using some sort of XML format that X...
I'm not really asking about how programmers learn how to program. More about specific technologies. If I wanted to learn Hibernate, how do I know what I should know prior to Hibernate? Should I learn JPA before, during or after Hibernate? Is there a better solution to Hibernate? (And I'm not really looking for information on Hiberna...
I am developing a Compact Framework 3.5 application for Windows CE 6.0. Help.ShowHelp() throws a NotSupportedException. At windowsembedded.com I found this statement: "Help is not included in the Core run-time because it requires a browser." Is this the reason for the exception? If so, is there any recommended way to get around this...
Aside from Episerver.com What other websites do people who develop using EPiServer use as development resources!? Been using coderesort.com but I find that it lacks examples of how to do stuff. Many thanks, J ...
I have a winforms application that presently ships with a chm file for context-sensitive help documentation (not API docs), created using MS HTML Help Workshop. I'd like to move to online documentation (don't have to ship it with the product, can update it easily, etc). What tools are recommended for this sort of thing, and what are the...
I'm writing a program and am having trouble using the scanf and fopen working together. From what I can tell my erroneous lines seems to be: FiLE * DataFile DataFile = fopen("StcWx.txt","r"); scanf(DataFile, "%i %i %i %.2f %i %i", &Year, &Month, &Day, &Precip, &High, &Low); The file it opens from has a list of weather data that look...
The people writing the user manual are not necessarily programmers, and they need a visual editor. A major issue is the internal format of the authoring tool; it should be readable text/html, so it's easy to compare versions of individual pages checked into version control. ...
I'm searching a C# component or code snipped that does something like that: I want to inform new users about the most important program functions if he opens a new window for example. It should be a box showing text (formated if possible) that is of course not modal and has some mechanism to 'go out of the way' if the user enters the te...
We are in the process of documenting a newly minted API for our applications. The API has been written in C++ as a set of COM objects. We would like a tool that generates CHM documentation based on the comments attributed to each COM object method. I know of doxygen but don't really feel like the output is all that professional lookin...
Are there any good Python forums where one can get help? I have tried http://www.python-forum.org/ but I never seem to get any responses. I don't really feel that Stack Overflow is the appropriate place for every little question I come across, and typically these questions will require discussion, which is something that SO is not for. ...
I have a piece of software that currently packages an MS Word file as the user guide/help. I would like to make this into either a pdf or a chm file. I do not wish to re-write the help or user guide. I did not see anything that is exactly what I need. i don't want to pay for it (I'd rather continue with Word Doc) and I wantt o just b...
I have a pretty simple app on the web (written in Flex) which is very straightforward to use once it has data inside it. The steps to get data inside it are themselves also pretty simple, but not at all obvious to my audience when they first log into my app. I have been wrestling with how to communicate the data setup process to my u...
This site is pretty good but I'm wondering what other resources are out there. I guess it's probably pretty language dependent but in general I have not found any other sites with a good wealth of general programming knowledge where I can just post a question and someone will actually answer it. Especially when you're posting some sort...
$rowfetch =~ s/['-]//g; #All chars inside the [ ] will be filtered out. $rowfetch =~ m/(\w+), ?(.)/; printf $fh lc($2.$1); I got help building this regular expression yesterday, but I don't fully understand it.It takes a name like Parisi, Kenneth and prints out kparisiKnowns:s/ = substitutem/ = matchI tried searching for the rest...
I don't even know what this is called. But some Windows apps used to have a "?" near the X in upper right corner. You could click that and then click on something on the screen and get help. Anyone know what that's called or (better) have any pointers to instructions on how to implement it? Oh, and I'm using vb.net 2005. ...
It would appear that CHM help files are no longer the help file format of choice. WinHelp - obsolete HtmlHelp (CHM) - not supported on Vista by default - does not work well on a network share Help 2 (HXS) - I understand this is used in VS2005+ for displaying help Web Based - Could be hard to manage for multiple versions What he...
I was wondering if anyone had a file format reference for Help 2.0 HxS files? I've seen a few 3rd-party viewers so obviously someone has gone through the trouble of reverse-engineering the file format, but I have been unable to track anything down with Google. I am interested in creating a better interface to the MSDN documentation and...
I am writing a Matlab mex-file. However, mex-files seem to have a serious limitation: help mexfilename won't cause a help text to appear. I could circumvent this by writing a m-file, that ultimately calls the mex-file, but includes help, but there has to be a better way. On the other side, that way I could do all the error-checking in ...
We want to provide Help for a client/server system. In the current version of the system this is done client side with traditional HTML Help (i.e. lots of .chm files sitting on each client machine). For a variety of reasons (e.g. to allow quick/easy updates to the Help) we want to move the Help content (i.e. the actual topic files) onto ...
I am writing some applications that require to have a Help Contents system tied to it. I came across JavaHelp which seems perfect for what I need. The issue I am having is that when you download JavaHelp, it comes with its own bin folder which looks like you are suppose to use separately. However, I am pretty sure if I just copy some of...
