I know the BB only handles GZip and ZLib compression/decompression. my app gets essentially a zip file containing a large number of possible file types (txt, doc, html, wmv, png, gif, etc)...decrypts and displays the file a user selects from a tree. Using these decompression algorithms is not a good way to go having to decompress/decrypt...
I want to preface this with the important notice that I am not a C/C++ programmer, and know very little about how linkage of libraries works in C. Our code uses libstdc++.so.6 (gcc 3.4, i think). We have third-party precompiled (closed source) libraries that use libstdc++.so.5 (gcc 2.something or 3.2, i think). This is on linux. We h...
Is there any way to automatically fill in a textbox on a 3rd party website via code on the referring page? My situation is thus: When a user clicks the pager number in our online phone directory, I've been asked to have that number filled automatically on the third party's site. They have no API. Certainly Javascript can fill in the...
I'm using Simile to draw dynamic timelines. I am also using an in-house library to add a comment blog. Our in-house library uses the body element's onload event to initialize. <body onload="initComments('myID')"> But Simile seems to have hijacked the onload for their own purpose so that initComments('myID') never executes. Short of...
Hi all, I am using T4MVC in our ASP.NET MVC Project. I have a statement like this in my view <% Html.RenderPartial(MVC.SomeController.Views.PartialViewName); %> Which was previously like this <% Html.RenderPartial("../SomeController/PartialViewName"); %> Previously it was working fine, but after I specified the partial view using...
I am making some small "business intelligence" applications/tools that need to talk to other systems. Primarily accounting systems that believe that databases are an integration layer (or are too lazy to provide an api). What's the easiest way of getting specific data out of a third party database and into my Java objects? Notes: (I...
I have a form allowing a user to signup for a news letter which submits back to the page it's sat in for validation and adding the content to the db, however I also need to send an xml file to a third part using the information collected from the form to add to a mailing list. The data sent to the third party seems to need to be sent usi...
During my days doing Winforms development, I constantly found myself struggling against System.Windows.Forms controls. Then I used DevExpress WinForms controls and I would never even think about going back to the default controls. With my very introductory (think "Hello, world") understanding of the new WPF way of doing things (screen ...
Have anyone used the Chilkat XML parser library? Do you know if it is free or use and just have to pay for its support? Any experience using this API? Thanks! ...
I've been writing java.io code verbosely for far too long, and stumbled onto Apache Commons IO last week. I've used a lot of Commons before, but never looked at IO, and now I feel silly for writing a notable amount of extra code over the years. Is there any good resource for Java libraries that isn't overwhelming, besides maybe reading...
I'm in the early stages of a project which is being built using the PHP framework, CakePHP. Currently, CakePHP has a stable release (1.2.5), and there has just been released their first alpha of the next version (1.3.0). The next version adds a lot of features that I want for my project (mostly in the way of performance increases), so ev...
Are there any 3rd party bug tracking applications that integrate with TFS? My company wants to use TFS for source control but not for bug tracking if there are any better 3rd party tools. ...
Hi, We are developing a desktop application in winforms using 3rd party controls,which are not UI automation compatible.Is there any way to do the functional tests through UI.We want to perform various actions on UI, n assert correct Ui changes are happening and the backend stuff changing(assert db record saved). ...
Let me describe the scenario: Our VB.NET web application talks to a third party data provider via webservices. It also saves data in a HUGE SQLServer database which has extensive business logic implemented in stored procs and triggers. The webservice provider also employs convoluted business logic which is quite dynamic. The dilemma ...
We've got an old VB6 application we wrote about 10 years ago. Back then we had no faith in data binding, so we did all of our own population of controls in code. (Long story, don't ask.) This application is one of our primary apps, so it gets used heavily. Back then, we purchased third party controls for various things, one of them b...
We are developing a Medical Data Analysis Application. We have a discussion to go for either NHibernate or DB4o.Can you please give a suggestion for choosing the efficient one. ...
A discussion I had with a colleague today. He claims whenever you use a 3rd party library, you should always write for it a wrapper. So you can always change things later and accomodate things for your specific use. I disagree with the word always, the discussion arose regarding log4j and I claimed that log4j has well tested and time p...
I have a Perl script that gives a completely useless error message, is there a way to get perl to give a stack trace when the error occurs? I tried it this way but it did not work: # Run command in the debbugger: perl -d /path/to/script.pl -my -normal -args # Reset the die command to your own subroutine to do a stacktrace: DB<1> *CO...
We are looking at buying a third-party grid control for our new WPF application. I would like for some of you to share your experiences with third party grids such as: Telerik Xcedd Infragistics DevExpress ComponentOne Others ?? The grid needs to work with the MVVM pattern and we need those functionalities: Inline Editing Sorting ...
I am the lead developer on a project whose continuing mission is the implementation, expansion, and maintenance of our highly trafficked site's content management system. The CMS is neither an in-house solution nor an open-source project - it is an expensive product purchased from a vendor. Unfortunately, it's a very... shall we say......
