I have done a little django development but it has all been in a text editor. I was curious what more advanced development tools others are using in their django development.

In Delphi 7, can I set up 'Debug' and 'Release' modes?

In most modern IDEs, you can have Debug and Release build configurations, and you can quickly switch between them. In Delphi 7, this does not seem to be possible. I have to go to Project Settings and toggle optimization and all the debug information stuff manually. It would be great if there was a plugin or some such that handled this ...

.NET - Find all references of property assignment

Hello, I am using VB.NET. In Visual Studio, if I right-click a property name and click "Find All References", it searches for all instances of the property being used.

How do you disable the CPU window in Delphi 7

What scares you the most about the integrated IDE of most modern Smalltalks?

As I'm riding the wave of resurgence of Smalltalk (especially because many Ruby-on-Rails people are rediscovering Smalltalk and seeing Seaside as their next upgraded web framework), I get questions like "yeah, but how do I use my favorite editor to edit Smalltalk code?" or "Does Smalltalk still insist on living in a world of its own?". ...

Any free alternative to VisualStudio?

I am in need of an IDE that can open and understand a .vcproj file. Does anyone know of something that can open these files that is free and an IDE? It needs to be able to run on Linux (Ubuntu preferably). Also, I am not looking for a .NET IDE. The code is in C++ that I am working with. The IDE is important because I have no clue how t...

Whirlwind tour of Eclipse?

Does anyone know of a whirlwind tour of Eclipse that would help a (former) Visual Studio user get up to speed with it? I just want something that tells me where all the basic features are and what all the cool stuff I've heard so much about is? So far I've been using it mostly as a text editor and have had some luck compiling and runni...

How do I stop Visual Studio from resizing my controls?

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (although IIRC, the behavior was present in 2005 as well) keeps resizing a couple of grid controls (Janus.GridEx to be precise) I use. I can resize them back to normal, save, and compile just fine. When it does compile, these two controls will expand to ridiculous values. More Information: This problem is related...

Alternative IDE for Silverlight

I want to play around with silverlight without having to buy a Visual Studio 2008 license. I already used my trial time with Visual Studio, so I'm trying to find another solution. Any thing out there? Thanks ...

Is there a good in-browser code editor?

We've all seen in-browser rich text editors, which allow you to edit colored/styled text in a WYSIWYG manner. But what about code editors, which automatically highlight code based on language rules as you type? Think Eclipse in a textarea (but without the refactoring support). Do such things exist? I imagine scaling would be a problem -...

Missing/desired features in Visual C++

I can't find another topic where this has already been asked, so I'm starting one... if there is one, feel free to link it and close this. What feature do you feel is most missing from Visual C++? Microsoft has been adding nice features for C#/VB.NET development for the last couple versions, but C++ has felt a bit neglected. I don't ha...

Global Find and Replace in Visual Studio

I have a solution with multiple projects and we need to do some serious global replacements. Is there a way to do a wildcard replacement where some values remain in after the replace? So, for instance if I want every HttpContext.Current.Session[“whatevervalue”] to become HttpContext.Current.Session[“whatevervalue”].ToString() the strin...

Do you draw a distinction between text editors and IDEs?

I've seen several responses to questions asking for IDEs where text editors were suggested and vice-versa. That makes me think that people treat them as the same thing, where I draw clear distinctions. How do you define "text editor" and "IDE"? Do you see a difference between the two tools? Note that I accepted an answer which I thin...

Visual Studio 2008 crashes horribly

Hi all, This has happened to me 3 times now, and I am wondering if anyone is having the same problem. I am running Visual Studio 2008 SP1, and hitting SQL Server 2005 developer edition. For testing, I use the Server Explorer to browse a database I have already created. For testing I will insert data by hand (right click table -> show...
