What is a good approach for the following: On a weekly basis, approximately 250,000 records representing transactions will be appended to a large table in an SQL 2005 database. It is required to augment this data and append it to another table. (For example, based on the client ID on the transaction, various data will be computed based ...
I was wondering if there's a way (even a manual one) to setup an ASP.NET MVC project with unit tests under Visual Web Developer Express 2008 SP1. ...
I am currently using CVS (not my choice) and have several branches. I'm trying to merge two branches, but a deployment project file has conflicts that I can't resolve without spending a LOT of time. A trivial change to a project file results in drastic changes to that project file - thanks to GUID changes I guess (making a project file...
If you use Visual Studio 2008 and have many project files within solutions how do you keep them in sync? In other words, if you change a property in one project, how do you ensure that this property is automatically changed in other projects? ...
I need to add a C# solution with examples that would be distributed as part of a software library installer. This solution would have various examples on how to use the product's API. I want to be able to display a simple "quick start" file explaining how to run the examples when the solution is opened in Visual Studio. Is there a way ...
I have referenced a config file that is located in a solution folder. I then reference that file in my projects. How do I get that config file into the bin directory when I publish the project? ...
My company is moving from classic asp (a nightmare) to .Net (rapidly becoming the same nightmare). We have over 800 forms, very similar in how they are processed, but 800 different sets of questions. They have common code: add to the database, get from the database, validate user inputs, validate credit card info, etc... We're using ...
Our projects are typically stored as single projects, and are not part of a larger solution. When I open a project, Visual studio creates a solution (sln) and soution options (suo) file in my folder. I want to stop this automatic sln and suo creation, Does anybody know how to go about doing this? EDIT: We have several dozen individual ...
Hi, I've started working on a fairly complicated software. It is for a personal project, but nonetheless I'm putting a lot of effort into it. Now, I'm used to work on other people's solutions / designs or on projects that grow in a very controllable way. This time, I started twice to code the basics and I rapidly found myself stuck. So ...
How many projects do you have in your Visual Studio solution? We have 50-60 projects. From your experience, is it more efficient (VS performance-wise) to work with a smaller number of projects? (I'm specifically interested in solution load times & build times - does fewer solutions mean better performance?) ...
After having read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/381020/team-foundation-server-source-control-structure which I have followed a few questions come to mind that I am wondering if anyone can comment on. I have a few components that make up a project I am working on. I have a smartclient, a webservice, a proxy for the webservice that t...
Clearly, software projects are different from other industries in terms of many things like for instance, quality assurance, project progress measurement, and many other things. Unique characteristics of software projects also makes the risk management process unique. Lots of issues in a project might lead it to unacceptable delay or f...
I have a software project which consists of multiple Project files and multiple Solution files. The Solution files have a one-to-many relationship with the Project files, and a given Project file may appear in multiple different solution files. Is there any good/spiffy way to come up with a map of the relationships between the Solution ...
I have a solution with 10 projects. Many of the project depend on a third party dll call foo.dll. The issue is that when i upgrade foo, somehow in Visual studio when i go to object browser it shows me 2 versions of foo.dll how can i find out which project is referencing the old version of foo.dll so i can upgrade it so there is only on...
I want to create a folder inside a C# project to contain some configuration files. However, I don't want these files to be copied to bin\Release\MyFolder. I'd rather have them copied to bin\Release directly. I'm thinking this may be doable by having a "virtual" folder, like solution folders, but I don't know how to do it. Is there a way ...
I am currently in my final year at school, studying for a Higher National Diploma in Computer Studies, and basically in this final semester, we need to develop a Software Project, that basically incorporates a whole system. Now, what I'm thinking of doing is something along the lines of Robocode, but instead of Java, I will be doing th...
I'm new to C#, and am curious about best practice for using namespaces. I have a solution that contains a single class library project, along with several, small console app projects. All the console app projects do is parse command-line arguments and call different classes within the library project. The library project uses the stan...
This is kind of a usability question for using VS2005: I have different branches of the same Visual Studio 2005 solution checked out from version control. The solution and project files are also under version control. On my development workstation, I sometimes have multiple instances of Visual Studio opened on a different version or bran...
I have two web projects, both these projects share client-side JavaScript currently residing as almost identical copies in both projects. I say almost because I'm clearly having versioning problems with these files. I've managed to put the files in a solution folder and created links to them from my projects and this works when I publis...
Hi, We are currently advertising for a team of programmers with in the society to develop an open source project, and we're hoping for a turnout of about 10 - 15 fairly good programmers. Although we need to see what type of a project our team would like to do, it would be great to get some opinions on what people feel is missing / incomp...
