I'm working on a small console application in Visual Studio C++ 2008 and would like to make an installer that I can distribute to a few friends to test the application. I recall a publish option being under the build menu, but it is not there now. Could I somehow have turned this feature off? Is there a simple way to publish such that...
In Visual Studio 2008, it seems that Window -> Split only gives me a horizontal split, and Window -> New horizontal tab group does not allow me to edit the same file in both panes. Note that I am talking about C# code windows, not HTML editing mode. I want to edit the same file in two horizontally arranged panes. Is this possible? Fre...
I am not looking for an IDE suggestion for C++ development. I have found many discussions on that and tried EMACS, GVIM and Code::Blocks. I liked Code::Blocks very much than the other two. But it looks like most of the developer community is using tools like EMACS or GVIM. Is there a reason for this? Why Code::Blocks is less used? I fou...
the list of jars just takes too much place. Can I collapse it or hide it? ...
I'm writing a lightweight IDE. I chose Ruby+Gtk2 for the task. I already have a minimal prototype for it, but right now, most of the code is inside my window class. I'll soon start working on the "real deal", but I would like to know what design patterns should I make use of. I'm planning for plugin support too, so that the app will be e...
I've been a Visual Studio user since 1997, and used VB 3.0 before that. My whole professional life has been spent inside the Microsoft development environments. Now I would like to branch out into Ruby on Rails to try something different, and it doesn't have the kind of vendor support that C# does (for very obvious reasons). For someon...
I recently switched from Eclipse to NetBeans (although I don't have any current Eclipse projects lying around that I have easy access to), but a lot of people that I work with (and even my department at school) use Eclipse as their primary IDE. Are there any known catches to using NetBeans with projects made by others in Eclipse? How ab...
We develop our projects in Rational Software Architect (based on Eclipse 3.2) using SQLJ. Now every once in a while we notice that RSA marks an error on the SQLJ file, where in fact everything's fine. I.e. Only when I touch the file and let the IDE refresh it, it notices that the last generated sources are out of sync. It triggers the ...
I just got my first Jython (and Python) project, and I was wondering what documentation, IDEs, etc. are best suited to a Java buff like me. I know there are a lot of questions about starting out with Python, so I'm asking for things that might be specific to Jython. Where should I start? If it helps, I'm running Linux and Solaris only....
Does anyone know of an alternative IDE for Sybase Powerbuilder? It feels pretty clunky, after working with VS2008 and Eclipse. If not, has anyone successfully worked with this language outside the IDE? I'm not against using a simple text editor, but I find edit-import-regenerate-test-export-edit is clunkier than simply using the Powerb...
Recently I am developing using 'C in Linux platforms, the tools like gcc are fast. But I wish it would be great to have an IDE like the VC++ IDE for windows. ...
I found some source about how to configure gvim as a ide on linux, but I don't have the configuration On Windows. Can anyone help me? ...
When developing a Visual Studio (2005) Debug Visualizer, you have to specify the target type you want to visualize (i.e. a DataSet Visualizer would specify its target at TypeOf(DataSet)). However, what if you want your Visualizer to be able to visualize any object type? Specifying the target to TypeOf(Object) doesn't seem to work. Edit:...
Are there any tools or IDE features to allow viewing of different parts of the same file side-by-side. I've often thought this would be useful for analysing and refactoring duplicated code within a file. ...
I am currently using Aptana RadRails for Ruby on Rails development on my local system. Now I want to work on a Rails-Application that is hosted on my dedicated server, but unfortunatly RadRails does not provide support for Remote File Access (apart from SVN). Is there an IDE for Rails-Applications that gives me the ability to work on an...
Remember the old class hierarchy posters that used to come w/Delphi? I'm wanting a full class hierarchy browser for ALL my Delphi classes, including the custom ones I've built and installed on the palette, plus third-party components. Ideally easily searchable by class name (including "whole word only" searches, so partial matches don'...
I'm looking for a good IDE for C++ that has most or all of the following properties (well, the first 4 or 5 ones are mandatory): cross-platform (at least Mac, Linux) of course, syntax highlighting and other basic coding editor functionality reasonably responsive GUI, not too sluggish on mid-size (say, 100 files) projects (both my Linux...
Lately I've been getting these 2 strange error messages in Eclipse. These happen the first time i press . , such as in MyClass.myMethod(), pressing the . causes these messages to popup. They show up only the first time after Eclipse is started and don't show up again until next restart. First error: Second error: These might be re...
I was able to configure NetBeans for 2.6.1 by going to to the Python Platform Manager, creating a new platform, and pointing NetBeans at python.exe where I installed 2.6.1. However, when I follow the exact same steps for 3.0, I get an error in the NetBeans console that says "SyntaxError: invalid syntax". If it matters, Python is install...
I use full blown graphical IDEs such as Eclipse CDT (Linux) and Visual Studio (Windows) which have features like auto completion, built in debugging, etc. These are features that I feel I can't live without. I keep hearing about how many people use emacs/vim on a daily basis. How come people still use console based editors when graphica...
