Sometimes I need to convert a piece of code or an entire project from VB.NET to C# or viceversa. Unfortunately the code conversion sometimes cannot be automatically done because of the intrisic language differences. I am referring for example to keywords like yield available in C# and not in VB.NET or viceversa XML Literals available in ...
I recently had a motherboard die, and used the on board RAID controller to do RAID 1 with two hard drives. I'm wondering if I can take one of the drives and access it normally, in a non-RAID setup. EDIT: It was an Intel D975XBX2 if that helps. ...
Does anyone know of free tools (languages, environments) that would support development of GUI applications on the Windows platform? I am looking to be able to create a single executable file that has no dependencies on any external runtime or library. I would like to be able to then run this EXE in a very similar manner to Process E...
I'm looking for a lightweight portable web server for windows capable of serving arbitrary folders in the file system and supporting at least one scripting language. It shouldn't need to setup htdocs folder and config files. For test purposes. ...
I'm not very familiar with cake.. So here's my questions.. we're developing an app on mysql, but it may eventually need to deploy to mssql or oracle. How do we make sure that we won't have strange problems with our primary keys? In mysql they are AUTO INCREMENT columns but IIRC in oracle you need to use sequences... is there a way to mak...
The hash_map and hash_set headers aren't included in the C++ standard yet, but they're available as extensions with all the compilers I've used lately. I'm wondering how much I can rely on these in real code without sacrificing portability. I'm working on tools projects that need to run on a host of architectures and compilers, includi...
I am writing a library that I would like to be portable. Thus, it should not depend on glibc or Microsoft extensions or anything else that is not in the standard. I have a nice hierarchy of classes derived from std::exception that I use to handle errors in logic and input. Knowing that a particular type of exception was thrown at a pa...

It seems to me, from both personal experience and SO questions and answers, that SQL implementations vary substantially. One of the first issues for SQL questions is: What dbms are you using? In most cases with SQL there are several ways to structure a given query, even using the same dialect. But I find it interesting that the relative...
In a simple list, ex : struct Node { Node *next; void *data; } is there any problem if i allocate Node and Data in a single allocation (provided i know the size), like Node * t = (Node*)malloc(sizeof(Node) + DataSize)); and always assign data at the end of allocated chunk, t->data = (BYTE*)t+ sizeof(Node); /* BYTE...
I got a comment to an answer I posted on a C question, where the commenter suggested the code should be written to compile with a C++ compiler, since the original question mentioned the code should be "portable". Is this a common interpretation of "portable C"? As I said in a further comment to that answer, it's totally surprising to me...
What happens when you concurrently open two (or more) FileOutputStreams on the same file? The Java API says this: Some platforms, in particular, allow a file to be opened for writing by only one FileOutputStream (or other file-writing object) at a time. I'm guessing Windows isn't such a platform, because I have two threads that re...
I'm following the directions on the Using Check with the Autotools page in an attempt to build in support for unit test in a (currently) small C project. Although I am using Cgreen instead of Check. I'm having trouble with step 9, which is causing automake to emit a warning about the use of `%'-style pattern rules being a GNU make exten...
Unix has \n, Mac was \r but is now \n and DOS/Win32 is \r\n. When creating a text file with C, how to ensure whichever end of line character(s) is appropriate to the OS gets used? ...
One of my favorite things about owning a USB flash storage device is hauling around a bunch of useful tools with me. I'd like to write some tools, and make them work well in this kind of environment. I know C# best, and I'm productive in it, so I could get a windows forms application up in no time that way. But what considerations sho...
I have a large number of basic text, rtf, html, pdf and chm files that I store on a USB key as a personal knowledge base. Up until now, to retrieve information, I've used a standard file searching tools (windows search,grep etc). However these days a brute force search can take minutes due to sheer data size. Also PDF and CHM are als...
