Currently we are running multiple Sitecore projects. Whenever the projects go live we create new repositories in our subversion system. The downside in this case is, that when we go live we edit the connectionstring obviously, so that the connectionstrings correspond to the live servers instead of our local servers we run on. When a pers...

First, by Remote I mean a central dedicated SQL Server on our Network. By Local I mean a local SQL Express install. My situation is in house only. No cloud services, external sites, etc. My app allows the user to work disconnected but in order to minimize traffic and a few other issues as well I would like to allow them to connect st...

Can someone tell me how to get started with this. I'd like to able to inisiate a connection and then log tranfer statistics. There's a network conn...
Hi, I have been working with resource files for a while now and I was wondering if there is some nifty way I don't know of yet to put variables inside a resource value. A simple example: You have bought #amountOfBooksBought books. My current way of working would be to declare two resource values (for 2 labels): BoughtBooksAmo...
Is there a tool that analyses .NET code and finds race conditions? I have a bit of code that has a public static property that gets or creates a private static field. It also has a public static method that sets this field to null (...yes, I know!..) As there are no locks around either of these methods, it's a safe bet that things'll ...
I have a ListView (shown below). I would like the cells to flash a colour when the value displayed changes (ideally one colour for increases, one for decreases). I know how to write the animation for the colour (below), and I'm pretty sure I need to use a cell template so I can hook a trigger up to the style to start the animation. I'm ...
I am doing a custom control (inherited from VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape), that should be painted like as standard one, but also having a Icon displayed near it. So, I just overrided OnPaint like this: protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { e.Graphics.DrawIcon(myIcon, StartPoint.X, StartPoint.Y...
I want to store Person objects in DB4O. The Person Location field can be changed over time. So I retrieve a person from the DB and call a method to set the location field to a new Location object. (I want the Location objects to be immutable i.e. DDD Value Objects). This works, however the previously assigned Location objects remain the...

I work on a team with three other developers and one business analyst writing internal business applications. We're primarily building apps in ASP.Net, and do so in a very 2003-ish way. It's like going back in a time machine. Although two of the other developers are amenable to learning new things, one of the developers is not. He's ...
Hi, I read an article about making code reliable in different environments (what with CAS having an influence), and one technique was to use .GetExecutingAssembly(...) for accessing resources in an assembly (Eg text files). Is there any other useful technique? I ask as some stuff I am writing will be demo'd from another machine. Thank...
I have an existing project that consumes web services. One was added as a service reference, and the other as a web reference. I don't recall why one was added as a web reference, but perhaps it's because I couldn't get it to work! The existing service reference for the one web service works fine, so it's not a .net version issue. I c...
My new ISP requires me to login for each session of internet usage. After a session gets timed out, it redirects to the provider website (https), where I have to enter the username and password. Since it logs out and terminates session I cannot schedule downloads during night. I was thinking of some way to automate this, probably write a...
We have a WPF application that has a print preview dialog. When we create the PDF to match this print preview dialog, we want the PDF to show a 100% match. For instance, we have a WPF TextBlock with a set height and width and some content that wraps in the text block. We then want to recreate this text exactly in the PDF. So far we h...
How would you implement paging in a LINQ query? Actually for the time being, I would be satisfied if the sql TOP function could be imitated. However, I am sure that the need for full paging support comes up sooner later anyway. var queryResult = from o in objects where ... select new ...
I have a Type, a String and an Object. Is there some way I can call the parse method or convert for that type on the string dynamically? Basically how do I remove the if statements in this logic object value = new object(); String myString = "something"; Type propType = p.PropertyType; if(propType == Type.GetType("DateTime")) { ...
