I'm about to inherit a rather large Java enterprise project that has a large amount of third party dependencies. There is at least seventy JARs included and some of them would seem to be unused e.g. spring.jar which I know isn't used. It seems that over the years as various developers have touched upon the code base they have all tried ...
I am currently trying to use NAnt and CruiseControl.NET to manage various aspects of my software development. Currently, NAnt handles just about everything, including replacing environment specific settings (e.g., database connection strings) based on an input target that I specify on the command line. CruiseControl.NET is used to build...
I need to start messing with a vb.net(vs2008) project file and I'd like a reference to, ideally, it's specification. Any links would be very helpful ...
Is there a way to invoke an external script or batch file from VC6 (and later) project files? I have a background process that I need to kill before attempting to build certain projects (DLLS, executables) and haven't found a way to successfully do so from the project itself. I'd like simply to call a batch file with a taskkill command...
Delphi 2009 introduced a hierarchical system for project options configuration, where you set "base" options and then have different build styles with their own option sets. But can you extend the hierarchy even further? I do most of my coding with debug options on, of course, but sometimes there are special cases where I want a slightly...
So, I've been doing Java for a number of years now, but now I'm starting a C++ project. I'm trying to determine best practices for setting up said project. Within the project, how do you generally structure their code? Do you do it java style with namespace folders and break up your source that way? Do you keep your public headers in an...
The MS source server technology uses an initialization file named srcsrv.ini. One of the values identifies the source server location(s), e.g., MYSERVER=\\machine\foobar The docs leave much unanswered about this value. To start with, I haven't been able to find the significance of the value name, i.e., what's on the left side--and I d...
I have an idea for an open souce project, but have absolutely no experience in either working on an existing project or starting one. For those of you that have some experience, what would you say would be a good resource/place to start on information for newbies interested in starting or working on an open source project? Thanks, Tome...
This is basically a open source library project aimed at developers. It's dual licensed and all version would need a registration on our site to run end product. What would be best channels for offering support for developers? I'm thinking forums, mailing lists, etc. Maybe even use a site like SourceForge, but then going on our site f...
While the J2EE module reference feature allows your to create common Java library projects, I can't find a neat way to do this for web content. I have common JSPs, CSS files, JavaScript libraries and even descriptor fragments that I would like to use across a number of Dynamic Web Projects, so that these artefacts are edited i only one...
In general I'd like to understand which templates to use when, when I'm making new iPhone apps. Could anyone offer some guidelines, tips, rules-of-thumb? Also, how much should I agonize over this? If I start off with the wrong one, can I add the missing pieces manually, is it hard? For reference here are the choices I'm seeing: Nav...
Hi, I just wanted to try to build a project with django. Therefore I have a (basic) question on how to manage such a project. Since I cannot find any guidelines or so on how to split a project into applications. Let's take a kind of SO as an example. Which applications would you use? I'd say there should be the applications "users" and ...
I've been working on the Axial project for a while now. It converts MSIL to Javascript with tight integration with ASP.NET. You add a control that looks something like <axial:Script runat="server" MethodName="Foo" /> and the codebehind says public void Foo() { lblTest.Text = "Foo"; } and there would be a javascript function on your page...
Is it possible to progmatically or dynamically create a project in VS2005 using c#? If so could someone provide some ideas or links on how to accomplish this? ...
All of the questions that I've asked recently about Python have been for this project. I have realised that the reason I'm asking so many questions may not be because I'm so new to Python (but I know a good bit of PHP) and is probably not because Python has some inherent flaw. Thus I will now say what the project is and what my current ...
I can do that file-by-file with Save As Encoding in Visual Studio, but I'd like to make this in one click. Is it possible? ...
So I'm newly in charge of projects at my company (We're still only 2 guys, but we're growing) and I want to set up my projects the right way. All my projects are in an SVN repo already, I've got bug tracking software set up, but what I'm looking for is the best way to layout a new project with tests, SVN, and a build server. I want to s...
Hello, Can anyone tell me how to add an AssemblyInfo.vb file to a Web Application converted from NET2.0 to NET3.5. I'd like to add the manifest information but cannot find a way to do for the Web Application's compiled DLL. I am using Web Deployment Projects for Visual Studio 2008 if this makes a difference. I'm also going to be repla...
I'm taking over a development of a commercial web site. This site was developed over two years by another programmer. It's mostly a one-man job (maintain and expand the site). I'll have a 2-3 days transition period when the other programmer will show me the system. But from what I know, there is little documentation. Everything is in the...
