I have been using SQL Compare by Redgate at my company and was very satisfied with it. Are there any free comparison tools that are similar? Or what would be my best shot for synchronizing two SQL db's without a paid application ...
I'm having trouble debugging a multi-process application (specifically using a process pool in python's multiprocessing module). I have an apparent deadlock and I do not know what is causing it. The stack trace is not sufficient to describe the issue, as it only displays code in the multiprocessing module. Are there any python tools, or...
What languages and tools non-professional-programmers (non cs) in here use ? The question title may probably sound a little misleading, so let me clarify. I'm asking what tools and languages are used by those of non-professional-programming capability, non computer scientiscs and not by people who have a degree in something else, but li...
I'm getting the error message: "error 2" when I try to connect to local ports Computer -> Connect local using portmon.exe v. 3.02 I run the tool as an administrator (if not, I get error 6). By the way this is a Windows 7 x64, in Windows 7 x86 it works fine. Any ideas? ...
Hello everyone. Sometimes one needs to dig into someone else's code, understand it and maybe refactor/fix it. So I'm wondering what tools/practices do you use to do that? It's not about any specific language or platform, rather some advises in general. I myself find it very useful to run the code in question under debugger (if it is pos...
I'm considering installing macports on my mac so I can have easy access to *nix dev tools/apps. However, I'm wondering if there are any risks. I'm ok with the inevitable compatibility issue from time to time (hear snow leopard + macports has issues) but I do not want the stability of my "core" mac system to be effected. I'm also curio...
I'm working with websites written in PHP, along with many other programmers, and sometimes I have to deal with really awful code. Indentation totally messed up, curly braces in the wrong places, terrible whitespace use, it really hurts my eyes and actually makes my work harder and take longer. Is there a tool where you can specify your...
I love YSlow for Firebug/Firefox, but I've hit a situation where I want to profile an HTTPS site, that doesn't physically work outside of IE6/7 (e.g. no IE8, no Firefox, no Chrome) Fixing the site to work in all browsers is officially Step #1, but to do some analysis and benchmark the existing site (which will help in reporting overall ...
I have a binary image (a dll) which I wish to view the assembly for. I also have the PDB associated with the dll. Are there any tools out there that will allow me to open the binary image and navigate through the assembly, without needing to execute it? ...
During the process of building software applications, you would start testing what you have built in stages even before it is complete and you could start seeing issues/bugs. How do you track them, Do you use your regular bug tracking tool to add them as issues(waste of time - since it is a work in progress), just have them in your head ...
I realize this is a rather odd request, but I was wondering if anyone was aware of some minification/obfuscation tools that work on C# source code (not a compiled assembly). I am trying to reduce the character count of an already written application to meet a character limit and I can't seem to find any tools that will help me achieve th...
I have found a lot of obfuscation tools with no clickonce support. Could you provide vendors with click once support? I would like to deploy obfuscated software at once without adding ANY extra line of code (pre-buid, post build etc) p.s. I believe that is software related ...
I'm looking for a tool that could help me fix malformed HTML. For example: <div id="foo"> <div id="bar"> <span>Test</span> </div> The tool would detect a missing and inform me the the div with id 'bar' on line 2 is not closed. I know about the w3c validator (using it with the Web Developer Toolbar). But I find the validator...
I find the regular expression toolkit tool in Komodo 4.1 pretty handy. Trouble is you have to dish out $300 for Komodo to use it. I'd love the same functionality in a stand alone tool... any suggestions? ...
I would like to show thumbnails of external websites that I link to when the user mouses over the links, similar to how snap.com does this. How can I accomplish the same thing? ...
When I generate a Class Diagram using VS2008, say for a C# file XYZ.cs - I get a Class Diagram detailing all the Fields,Properties,Methods and Nested Types.

I have a bunch of C++ header files with various class and function declarations. So far, when I've been writing the C++ source file implementations of the declared classes and functions, I've been manually: Copying the declarations from the header file to the corresponding source file. Deleting "class classname {" and the matching "};"...
I have a homegrown CMS running on multiple ISPs. End users have complained that viewing and administering their sites is slow. We suspect the problem is with different ISPs/server that we use. I am trying to determine a benchmark so I can look for a better/more consistent hosting option. To do so - I need data. My goal is measuring load...
I write hobby code from time to time. The thing is these tools, classes or tiny libraries of code end up in a flash stick with hopeless future! I would love to develop my projects further, and let other programmers trust them. If you were going to use something you found on the Internet, what is the most important thing you look for in t...
