Guys, I opened this question (I hope could help some others) but reading stackoverflow I find some really interesting pearls of information lost in the cloud. What do I mean? For example I was reasearching the Web for the best way to validate parameters in methods. I was breaking my head trying to find a nice, elegant way to do it, then...
I'd like to set up a cross-compilation environment on a Ubuntu 9.10 box. From the documents I've read so far (these ones, for example) this involves compiling the toolchain of the target platforms. My question is: how do you determine the required version of each of the packages in the toolchain for a specific target platform? Is there ...
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to run an application, which loads a number of DLL's at startup, that immediately exits with "The program '[3668] cb_tcl.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002)." Unfortunately I get no other clues about the source of the problem and the exit occurs before the program starts, but I suspec...
I have a patch file (unified diff), like the output from svn diff, git diff, or diff -u .... I want to review it, but the unified diff format - especially with many files & changes - is hard on my eyes. How can I get a nicely-formatted diff view from the patch file? I don't have the files themselves, only the diff, so I can't use all th...
Are there any tools out there for helping to debug / check the xml serialization process? For instance, suppose an item is marked as internal instead of public. There is no compile time error message, nor a runtime error message. If you set a breakpoint and step into the serialization process, the item is just just skipped. In other ...
Are there any tools that would allow me to easily create an interactive architectural diagram? I envisage the ability to view a graphical depiction of the architecture at a high level. I would then be able to click on a specific piece of the architecture and drill into it, thus revealing a more detailed break-down of that piece. This pr...
Hi SO members, What Tools do you people use to work with Scala? For my learning phase, I used the Scala REPL and hacked some code with TextMate and compiled it with the scalac CLI. But as the projects grow in size, much more sophisticated tools are required. I am aware of the Scala plugins for Elipse, IntelliJ and Netbeans and I tried ...
I'm looking for a text editor for reading log4j log files capable of auto-highlighting lines according to the threads that logged them. For example, all the lines which include [pool-1-thread-1] will be colored yellow and all the lines which include [pool-1-thread-2] will be colored green. This might be available as a more general featur...
Is there a way I a process can be monitor and if it were to die, can a script be called which in turn will bring the process back up ? ...
I'm looking for a web application testing framework that is intented to be used by customers. That is, tests will be created by users, not programmers or testers. Thus, no scripting. It has to have some kind of IDE/GUI. Selenium IDE is nice but too basic. The more or less suitable solutions I've found: CubicTest. Seems to be very nice...
I'm trying to use Google App Engine with Eclipse but it's not working. I downloaded PyDev, and made a Hello World Python app, so that's working fine. Then I created a new project, with the "Google App Engine" template. I was following these instructions. I used the "Hello Webapp World" as a template, and didn't change any of the Python...
I feel like it should be easier to test my WCF Services. Is there an alternative to WCF Test Client? Something with these features: Can save my object trees (method parameters) to be used again. Ideally it would even let me identify GUIDs that need to be re-generated on each run and ones that should stay static. Easier to deal with...
Does anyone know of a utility for generating PowerShell cmdlet help files? Doing it by hand seems a bit tedious... I located: http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/09/01/new-and-improved-cmdlet-help-editor-tool.aspx Any updated versions? I can't select a module. I have a binary module. ...
I've been around Visual Basic for years in high school, and I've grown up with the IDE supplied by Microsoft. It'd wonderful, but the educational and "working-model" editions of VB available to me through school don't allow me to redistribute software, as part of the EULA with Microsoft. I instead find myself working in perl to design p...
Hi All, I am trying to get a list together of tools/libraries that make me more productive or more efficient. Tools I am using at this moment are ELMAH for all my logging or errors and exceptions. I am also using the JQuery validation library and been playing with xVal lately. I know there are similar posts, but they are very broad, ...
I have several models that will need to be translated to other languages and I want to put all text strings on a separate tab so they are all together. I need a utility/tool to locate standalone and embedded text strings, move them to another tab, and replace the original text string with the cell reference to the new location. A bonus ...
Hi Everyone, Would you happen to know of any tools that can be used to find which item on a webpage is causing the following prompt, "This item contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" I have a web based program, programmed in classic asp. On an SSL site, we are getting the above prompt. ...
It's no secret that application logs can go well beyond the limits of naive log viewers, and the desired viewer functionality (say, filtering the log based on a condition, or highlighting particular message types, or splitting it into sublogs based on a field value, or merging several logs based on a time axis, or bookmarking etc.) is be...
Hello, I got a large PHP website which Im now about to take care of. It contains hundreds of separate PHP files, but I suspect only less than a half is really being used. Most of them probably can be deleted. But the last thing I really want to do is going through the code of each file and check whether its linked, included, required.....
We have been looking to implement Agile methodology within our geographically distributed development team, so i need suggestions on any free on-line application that you have used and find useful. Right now we are using paper cards and wall to manage this :), but we want to shift to an on-line version preferably free. I have used Targ...
