I've been evaluating different MSI packagers with the intent of deploying installers for one custom application and several third-party applications (installer-chaining may be necessary in some cases). A developer will be working creating the MSI for the custom app, but the rest will be done by Operations-type people with little scriptin...

We receive Excel workbook files every day which are password protected with the same password. We know this password. Is there a utility or method to remove password protection on these workbook files without invoking Excel.exe or the Excel object. Our goal is to take Excel out of the process and utilize SpreadsheetGear in VB.net. Ho...

Looking for API that helps me with processing of taxonomies. It should be possible to work with taxonomy in object model (loading from xml file), list categories, traverse tree of categories (if it's tree taxonomy), getting name and value for category, etc. Read only mode is sufficient. Google hasn't helped a lot :( Usage can be as foll...

I was at Apple WWDC in 2008 and all the engineers used some sort of utility to cue up 10-20 lines of code for easy pasting, one at a time. They used this to demonstrate code construction on the fly. It let them avoid having to actually type any Cocoa code in front of the large audiences. I'm looking for a similar utility for doing scree...
This isn't exactly a programming question, but it is indirectly related to CLASSPATH errors. I am unsure of the dependencies for this project. What is a good tool to search for a particular class name inside lots of jars files? Thank you. ...
Searching for a free application for commercial usage that allows find/replace in multiple files (regular expressions are nice but not a must), that supports opening and saving in UTF-8. Tried a few like BKReplaceEm but the application ends up saving all the files as ASCII which causes some problems with web-rendering. Please advise. ...
Is there such a thing that finds numbers using regex and can perform simple arithmetic operations to it? Imagine you have a source/config file storing positions and later changed the code which requires an offset now. How do you normally go about this without doing it manually? Edit: I knew I should've added this bit with the orignal p...

I now want to create foreign keys for all of my mew DBs. So far i have been using sqlite and MyIasm DBs so i havent used a DB that supported it. I am thinking i should install and use a MySql server with InnoDb (connected via C#). My question is what can i use to actually see the FKs relations? I would like to see it by using a sqlite d...

My server doesnt allow upload/download of big files. On the other hand, I built a bootstrapper that needs to upload/download big files. How can I split a big file into smaller subfiles.. and do the merging later on? An already done c# library would be great... but I'm happy hear suggestions about how to program this myself... or even use...
I have been reading that creating dependencies by using static classes/singletons in code, is bad form, and creates problems ie. tight coupling, and unit testing. I have a situation where I have a group of url parsing methods that have no state associated with them, and perform operations using only the input arguments of the method. I ...
It was my second C# project, undertaken years ago, and it has lived on, because (imho) it is Genuinely Useful Software. It's also badly designed and the code is embarrassing. It runs C# code. You write a method, the method name appears in a listbox, you double-click the method name to execute it. That's it. Examples: When I open up m...
Does anyone know of a Windows app that can scan through a directory and check which scripts are/aren't encoded as a specified charset (UTF-8 in this case)? I could do it manually, but that could take a while and is quite error prone! ...
I am interested in finding out if there exists a program or library which can perform the following task, and would be suitable for running as part of a server side process on a web site. (it's okay if it takes longer than the 200 milisecond maximum that is reasonable for a single page request-I can run it as an asynchronous process) Th...
I have a class full of utility functions. Instantiating an instance of it makes no semantic sense, but I still want to call its methods. What is the best way to deal with this? Static class? Abstract? ...
