OK, so, I have a ListView-derived control that changes Grouping and ItemsSource on the fly. When I group such that the scrollbars dissapear, and then change my ItemsSource to a different ICollectionView, my scrollbars do not return. The basic problem is that ListView changes to a VirtualizedStackPanel when grouping is activated and d...
So I've got a situation where we have a project with 10 developers. Each developer, when they come in for the day, is randomly issued a machine to use for development that day. The machine names are different, say DEV01 - DEV10. At the time that they are issued to the developers, the machines are identical, and no changes the develope...
Greetings all, I have this application which uses Tomcat and PostgreSQL (only involve database reads, no writes). I need to make this application runnable from a DVD.(target platform is Windows). So I was thinking to do these: 1) In a VirtualMachine (i prefer virtualbox) install lightweight linux distro. 2) Install Tomcat ...
I'm running Windows 7. Within, I'm running Virtualbox and Ubuntu. Within Ubuntu, I'm running Apache and using PHP codeigniter. To reference our CSS and JS files, we use this syntax: <?php echo site_url('css/styles.css'); ?> When viewing the site locally (within Ubuntu VM) that resolves to: http://localhost/styles.css So works fine....
Are there any tools available for converting a desktop vista machine into a virtual machine to run with MS Virtual PC? I am buying a new workstation and would like to virtualize my old machine onto the new one. I know of the tools for Hyper-V, but i'll be running Win7 on the new machine, not Hyper-V server. ...
This is a large project and currently there are only 3 developers working on it. We have some money in the budget to contract development help from a software consulting firm. However, because the location of our business it would be beneficial if the consultant could do their development off-site. Also, our company policy doesn't allow ...
Both replication and clustering are terms for servers setups with physical (real) servers, usually implemented on a DB or AS level. Now the question: In a virtualized environment with "easy" scalable servers (touching clustering) and a higher availability (DB replication) through the means of high availability of the virtual server by t...
virtual machines hold great promise as a way to distribute hard to configure applications. i have been using jeos vmbuilder (and some bash scripts) to generate my appliances, but i'm looking for something more elegant. in my case, i'm looking for a solution that will build a linux-based vm with configured versions of tomcat and mysql as...
I've bought a new notebook yet I'm not sure whether Linux fully supports it or not, so I decided to use a VM for the time being. The only virtualization software I've used so far is VirtualBox on linux, but I think it's a bit overkill for my needs. All I need is to use it like a vps hosted on my machine. Command line access would be eno...
I would like to learn how to write a small emulator/virtual machine. Does anyone know a good tutorial or a simpler project than qemu/virtualbox? Thx ...
Our company builds custom J2EE web solutions. At the moment, we use standard J2EE distribution mechanisms (ear/war archives). Application servers are generally administered by our clients' IT departments and since we do not have complete control over the environment, a lot of entropy can be introduced into the solution. For example: la...
Hi, I want to know about Virtualization in detail. But start from basics, like what is virtualization, with real world examples and scenarios. When ever I search, i got Virtualization technologies, but I want to learn and in fact know what exactly is virtualization, its types and all... Please help me in getting practical details of term...
I work for a small company with a .NET product that was acquired by a medium sized company with "big iron" products. Recently, the medium-sized part of the company acquired another small company with a similar .NET product and management went to have a look at their technology. They make heavy use of virtualization in their production ...
My normal pc is currently under 'repair' due to me uninstalling a bunch of apps in an attempt to fix an old app that failed in certain situations and causing a looping screen of blue death. Now I've been asking for the ability to have virtual machines so I can do testing of legacy software in a safe and controlled manner and not worry a...
I've got this question awhile ago, but it still bothers me. I work with a few virtual machines running Windows 2008 server, mostly demo VMs and test machines. Since most devs use them, I prefer to not have individual setups here and there and maintain a catalog of exported VMs and hard drive images instead. Thanks to side-by-side asse...
I need a virtual server for web development, it'll host Apache+Postgres+Ruby+something else. What's the most effective software to run such a server? (ie with least virtualization overhead) Is there a way to run Linux as as service? I use VirtualBox at the moment, but it's inconvenient in some ways, such as it needs an emulator windo...
Hi, I developed time ago a open mpi code. Now I am working on it again and would like to do some testing. For reasons I can not avoid I can only use now a single core computer (my pc) for programming and testing. I know there are virtual machines. In the same fashion I wonder if I could get a virtual machine with a eight cores cpu, so ...
My understanding is that VMMs such as VMware's ESXi Server maintain shadow page tables to map virtual page addresses of guest operating systems directly to machine (hardware) addresses. I've been told that shadow page tables are then used directly by the processor's paging hardware to allow memory accesses in the VM to execute without tr...
I am trying to understand how software like App-V and sandboxie (http://www.sandboxie.com/) work. But for the life of me, I can't think of anything that could make this possible. How do they intercept API calls and trick the target software? If someone would say that it's just magic and pixie dust, I would believe them. Seriously though,...
I'm interested in programming an application-level virtualization solution. More specifically, I need a way to completely isolate the running application from the host OS. I don't necessarily need or want a full virtual machine, but I need the isolation one provides. From my understanding on the matter, if I can isolate the applicatio...
