I need to import a csv file into Firebird and I've spent a couple of hours trying out some tools and none fit my needs. The main problem is that all the tools I've been trying like EMS Data Import and Firebird Data Wizard expect that my csv file contains all the information needed by my Table. I need to write some custom SQL in the ins...
I see a lot of posts from people talking about how they cannot possibly live without two, three or 13 1/2 monitors but does anybody have an actual metrics or statistics which I could use as ammunition? Same question for comfortable chairs. The company for which I work right now is looking at buying chairs but will buy bargain basement ...
Hi. I'm looking for a tool which can generate makefile for a C/C++ project for different compilers (gcc, microsoft vc++, borland etc) and different platforms (Win, Linux, Mac). ...
We have a codebase that is several years old, and all the original developers are long gone. It uses many, many threads, but with no apparent design or common architectural principles. Every developer had his own style of multithreaded programming, so some threads communicate with one another using queues, some lock data with mutexes, ...
I have some SQL Server DTS packages that import data from a FoxPro database. This was working fine until recently. Now the script that imports data from one of the FoxPro tables bombs out about 470,000 records into the import. I'm just pulling the data into a table with nullable varchar fields so I'm thinking it must be a weird/corrup...
Do you use or do you know a good .net forum software? It can be free or not. It should have the common features normally found in a forum software. So far, the best I've come up with is: YetAnotherForum ...
I'm interested in possibly using Scrum with my development team (yes, I know it'll be a little painful to transition over to it). However, we don't have Team System and probably can't currently afford to get it immediately. What are some possible tools for getting a team up and running on Scrum in a .NET/Visual Studio environment withou...
I need to create a historical timeline starting from 1600's to the present day. I also need to have some way of showing events on the timeline so that they do not appear cluttered when many events are close together. I have tried using Visio 2007 as well as Excel 2007 Radar Charts, but I could not get the results I wanted. the timeline ...
What tools are useful for automating clicking through a windows form application? Is this even useful? I see the testers at my company doing this a great deal and it seems like a waste of time. ...
Hi, So far the most I've done with code generation tools is creating my basic CRUD layers (basic sprocs, data layer and business layer that calls the data layer), and class creation based on my database tables. What other ways do people use code gen tools? I've never used ORM mappers or Hibernate and quite frankly don't understand wha...
Is there any good way to deal with the class renaming refactor from Resharper when the file is under source control and TortoiseSVN is the client. I have am trying VisualSVN right now but I haven't had the need to rename anything recently. I don't want to change our repository just to try this out. Also not sure if this feature alone ...
Other than Notepad++, what text editor do you use to program in Windows? ...
Are there any unhappy FogBugz user? Or someone that evaluated it and decided that it lacks some essential features? Edit: We are evaluating FogBugz and I would like to know if there is something that might hurt us. ...
I would like to be able to control the available memory and CPU resources. What kind of tools do you use to do this? ...
I'm sure we've all seen it before...A code base that has been around for a year or two, and as features have been added and bugs fixed, we end up with pieces of code that aren't actually in use anymore. I'm wondering if there is a way (especially in VS.NET with or without a third-party tool) to search the codebase and show me which meth...
I'm trying to choose a tool for creating UML diagrams of all flavours. Usability is a major criteria for me, but I'd still take more power with a steeper learning curve and be happy. Free (as in beer) would be nice, but I'd be willing to pay if the tool's worth it. What should I be using? ...

I'm planning on recording a couple of short webcast (say 10 minutes long) as internal training material. Are their any good tool for recording and editing that I should look into (besides Camtasia)? Any other tips that might be useful? I'm also interested in good places to host the movies if I'd for example would post them on my blog f...
Does anyone work at a place that offers developers a "tools budget?" I would like to argue that something like that would not only make for happy developers but more efficient use of resources. I was trying to ask about getting a copy of TimeSnapper and with a cost around $20 it seemed like in between me stopping my boss to ask, and doi...
My HTML is all marked up, ready to make it rain CSS. The problem is that I have to go back and find out what all my id and class names are so I can get started. What I need is a tool that parses my HTML and spits out a stylesheet with all the possible elements ready to be styled (maybe even with some defaults). Does such a tool exist?...
