  • Migrating From SQL Server Server 7 To 2005, What should I get excited about?

    - by Jon P
    The company I work for has decided to join the 21st century and upgrade our main database cluster from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server 2005. As a web developer what new whiz-bang features of SQL Server 2005 should I get excited about or get to know? Currently I'm mainly writing CRUD style queries, pretty much exclusively using Stored Procdures for a mixed ASP.net and Classic ASP environment.

  • Protect .NET code from reverse engineering?

    - by Priyank Bolia
    Obfuscation is one way, but it can't protect from breaking the piracy protection security of the application. How to make sure that the application is not tampered with, and how to make sure that the registration mechanism can't be reverse engineered. Also it is possible to make to convert C# app in native code, Xenocode is too costly. C# provides lot of features, and is the ideal language for my code, so writing in C++ again the whole codebase is out of question. Secure certificates can be easily removed from the signed assemblies in .NET

  • What precautions should you take when a senior employee leaves?

    - by Mahin
    EDIT : I agree one should check the reasons, why a senior level employee is leaving. But I am interested in knowing the official/management/technical/legal steps one should take after its decided that he is leaving, so that the life after him is smooth. What are the steps management should take when a senior programmer/team lead leaves your company. Some of them which I have thought about are : 1) If He used to manage hosting and domains stuff, change passwords of domain control panels and hosting panels. 2) If your published web sites have maintenance account and he is aware of credentials of that account then change this details also. 3) Suspend mail account for some time and forward all eMails of that account to some ex-employee account. After some time close that account. What are the other things one should check. I am expecting the answer to be a general check list one should follow. It should include both technical scenarios and management scenarios. Notable Suggestions so far : Effectively transfer the responsibilities of that employee to another one without causing any potential delay in your work. Protect your source code. If possible Make them to sign something to say that they don't have copies of source code.. You can also consider NDA here. Use the Notice Period to train his replacement. Now any new code to the project will be done by replacement with the help of Guy who is leaving. Ask him to create a document of things he thinks you should know. Make sure he checks everything in now and then any checkout will only be done by the replacement. Emails, copy off his email account to a pst.file (this assumes Outlook), Make this file available to his replacement. the employee should probably be given a chance to scrub the email. if you are going to keep his account open for whatever reason, check that no rules are created that forward incoming emails to an alternate address. Copy the hard drive of his computer to a network location and have someone senior go through and see if there are any files (drafts of performance reviews or other sensitive issues ) on it that someone else might need. Clearance from Accounts,Finance,Security,Library etc departments.Obtain all company property, laptops, keys, etc. If there is no reason not to, you should reward a departing person for their many years of service. Write them letters of recommendation (even if they already have a new job lined up).Say goodbye, and keep the door open. Make sure any outside clients know that the departing employee is not their main contact anymore. Never neglect the exit interview/debriefing. Confirm the last day of employment so that there is no misunderstanding Inform H/R if the employee is on H1B status, there is paperwork required to notify the government when an H1B employee leaves. Depending on how senior / what position, you might spend some time convincing him not to take the rest of the engineering staff with him. Make sure he spends his last days on a good note, because if he is not leaving on a good note, he can easily pollute the mind of his colleagues. Best Regards, Mahin Gupta EDIT : Now offered a bounty on it to get more detailed responses and practical suggestions.

  • Implementing SSL tunnel in C#

    - by RaYell
    As a part of a larger application I need to implement an SSL tunnel in C#. I was wondering if there's a better way of doing that instead of writing each step of SSL negotiation myself which sounds like reinventing the wheel. Do you know if there are any libraries that I could use to minimize the code I need to write or any tutorials which show how this or similar thing can be implemented most efficiently in .NET?

  • Call task more than once in Rails 3 generator

    - by balexand
    I'm writing a Rails 3 generator that creates two different models. Here's a very simplified example of what I'm trying to do: def my_generator_task invoke "model", ["foo"] invoke "model", ["bar"] end The problem is that the Thor invoke method only invokes a task once, so the second call to the "model" task never happens and the "bar" model is never created. Does anyone know an elegant way to accomplish this, preferably in a way that doesn't break the ability to run "rails destroy" with the generator?

  • domain specific languages and compilers

    - by hyperboreean
    I was looking over Martin Fowler's recent book contents - Domain Specific Languages and I noticed some ANTLR example - that got me thinking that writing compilers will become more and more popular since people needs in this matter will increase. So, will the compiler theory still be as arid (being subjective here) as it was until now or are there any chances that we'll get more applied, programmer oriented materials ?

  • X64 installer using Won64 node registry

    - by rajeshaz09
    I am using InstallShield 2008 premium edition. I created one basicMSI project only to target x64 platforms. I changed summary property to "x64". But this installer is writing registry entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CompanyName\ProductName" . I am using both installshield script and vc++ DLL for custom actions. Why x64 installer is using WOW64 registry ?

    - by wowus
    What are commit messages for? I've always been writing them as an explanation of what I did, but I've recently gotten into a discussion about it with a colleague who writes commit messages explaining why he did. Which one is right, or is there another answer entirely?

    I am using wpf Custom Commands. While writing a custom Command, you need to define the owner type. Description says that it is the type that is registering the command. I was seeing some sample and there the Owner type was UIElement and in some others it was the class name itself. Whats the difference? What should be the owner type?

  • Sleep Command in T-SQL?

    - by skb
    Is there to way write a T-SQL command to just make it sleep for a period of time? I am writing a web service asynchronously and I want to be able to run some tests to see if the asynchronous pattern is really going to make it more scalable. In order to "mock" an external service that is slow, I want to be able to call a SQL server with a script that runs slowly, but isn't actually processing a ton of stuff.

  • Problem with GetDefaultPrinter() over a VPN c++

    - by Ian Crowder
    I am writing an application that gets its dimensions from the paper ratio of the default printer of the local computer. This all works well unless the default printer is over a VPN. When this is the case, calling GetDefaultPrinter() takes too long. I need to find a way to put a time constraint on GetDefaultPrinter() and if it exceeds that constraint, break out of the function. Any possible solutions would be great. Thanks, Ian

  • Is there a good blogging platform to use as a framework?

    - by itsadok
    I'm writing a new product, and I've noticed that a lot of the features I want already exist in blogging platforms like wordpress. For example, comments and comment moderation, content editing, etc. Is there a good blogging system that is easy to use as a foundation for something else? Something with an API, extremely customizable, and hopefully something that works well with Java.

  • Progress Bar not updating

    - by Bailz
    I have the following piece of code to write data to an XML file. private void WriteResidentData() { int count = 1; status = "Writing XML files"; foreach (Site site in sites) { try { //Create the XML file StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(path + "\\sites\\" + site.title + ".xml"); writer.WriteLine("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\" ?>"); writer.WriteLine("<customer_list>"); foreach (Resident res in site.GetCustomers()) { bw.ReportProgress((count / customers) * 100); writer.WriteLine("\t<customer>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_reference>" + res.reference + "</customer_reference>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_name>" + res.name + "</customer_name>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_address>" + res.address + "</customer_address>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<payment_method>" + res.method + "</payment_method>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<payment_cycle>" + res.cycle + "</payment_cycle>"); writer.WriteLine("\t\t<registered>" + CheckWebStatus(res.reference) + "</registered>"); writer.WriteLine("\t</customer>"); count++; } writer.WriteLine("</customer_list>"); writer.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { lastException = ex; } } } It's using the same BackgroundWorker that gets the data from the database. My progress bar properly displays the progress whilst it is reading from the database. However, after zeroing the progress bar for the XML writing it simply sits at 0 even though the process is completing correctly. Can anyone suggest why?

  • Pure Actionscript 3 Adobe Air Application main class constructor not being called

    - by SilverCode
    I'm writing an Air application using only Actionscript, and Flex3 SDK as the compiler. Everything compiles and runs fine under adl, but when the final air file is built and installed, the main class is never initialized. For instance: package { import flash.display.Sprite; public class main extends Sprite { public function main() { trace("Init"); } } } When run under ADL, "Init" will be output to the console, but when installed and run, nothing happens (the constructor for class main is never called).
