This is the same bin where the DLLs from the other projects get auto-loaded. Is there a way I can place the third-party DLLs in a separate folder? If I 'Add Reference' to the DLL ...

How to add build steps to Eclipse "run configuration"?

Is there a way to add build steps to a "run configuration" in Eclipse? My project uses an applet that should be built before starting the web application.

Is there a pre-made Continuous Integration solution for .NET applications?

From my perspective, we're constructing our own 'flavour' of NAnt/Ivy/CruiseControl.Net in-house and can't help but get the feeling that other dev shops are doing exactly the same work, but then everybody is finding out the same problems and pitfalls with it. I'm not complaining about NAnt, Ivy or CruiseControl at all, as they've been b...

I tried bringing down the size of the apk by gzipping them before t...

How is it achieved using either MSBuild or...
