We have a new developer who swears by Telerik controls and would like us to purchase licenses for the entire development team (8 devs) as he feels they speed up the development process. As half of the team is pretty new to ASP.NET, they're still learning what comes out of the box with Visual Studio 2008 and might be overwhelmed with a w...
Does anyone have experience with third party (non open source) svn hosting? I am looking at two (WUSH and someother one with svn in the name) They sound ok on paper - but I was hoping to get feedback. I was able to integrate minimal svn crossover into another web based tracking tool (elementool) but want to hear from others about trac...
I need to extract information from hundreds of résumés. The ideal would be .doc, .docx, .pdf, .rtf --> hr-xml but since more than 90% of the résumés are .doc, the other formats are not a must have. I'm looking to buy a third-party tool or a component. Do you have any good/bad experience solving a similar problem? Clarification: I'm ...

It's a part of larger code base, which forces -Werror on gcc. This warning is generated in a third party code that shouldn't be changed (and I actually know how to fix it), but I can disable specific warnings. This time man gcc failed me, so please, let some gcc master enlighten me. TIA. ...
It seems that there are many third-party .NET WinForms grids available on the market. I have seen Syncfusion, Xceed, and Infragistics in use at various companies, but now need to choose one for my own use and can't find objective information. My priorities are ease of use, hierarchical capabilities (i.e. ability to drill down on a row ...
We are often in the position of making decisions about which operating systems, programming languages, third-party libraries, and other tools to use while developing systems. This is often a guessing game, as you often can't know how good a fit a particular tool will be until after you have developed the system. What are the things tha...
I have a DLL as an add-in in a third party application. When I launch the DLL from MS Visual Studio 2005 in debug mode the third party application will crash. Instead of launching my DLL from Visual Studio in debug mode, I try to launch the third party application first which will load my DLL. Then I attach my DLL to the third party app...
I am migrating a site from SharePoint 2 to 3 (in fact, from SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007). There are a handful of 3rd party web parts and since this is a migration, not an in-place upgrade, I need to install these web parts on the new farm. How do I do this, given that I have the packaged up ...
I've recently been working on a C# GUI. We used a third party graphical controls library (that I won't name). Some people really like this library and get all excited with "hey look its got a control that looks flashy, let's use that on this screen". My experience was that we compromised the usability of our GUI by putting some flashy co...
Are there any professional Combobox controls (dropdown list with autosuggestion) based on the jQuery library? It should be able to handle large datasets and have some skinning options. A multi-column result list would be great too. I'm working with ASP.NET, but it's a not a problem if I had to write a wrapper for it. I'm already usin...
DotNetRemoting They claim to have all the power of WCF but a lot simpler to implement and use. Does anyone here have any experience with using their product, and if so, have there been any problems with it? To clarify, this is a company's product called DotNetRemoting, not doing Remoting in .NET ...
My company has developed (and still continues to develope) a large ASP.NET business application. Our platform is ASP.NET 2.0 using some ASP.NET Ajax. We're extensively using third-party components, like webgrids, comboboxes, treeviews, calendar and scheduling controls etc. Now, I don't know a lot of ASP.NET MVC and I'd like to know if t...

What's the best way to let third-party users work on your website? We have our site in SVN. Do we just give them SVN access, let them check in code, and then I push to dev - and then to production? ...
I have a code base where many of the classes I implement derive from classes that are provided by other divisions of my company. Working with these other devisions often have the working relationship as though they are third party middle ware vendors. I'm trying to write test code without modifying these base classes. However, there are...

What I'm looking for is a way to help him out without actually having to do too much work. He wants the comments to be integrated into a existing page, but it doesn't mater if the solution is self hosted or a third p...
A recent question made me post this one. I'm working on a set of web pages that have some very simple user login, and store the user id in a cookie. Let's say that due to certain decisions which I'm in no position to overrule, the pages use several alternate domain names. I.e., the login page uses one domain name, and the page that shou...
