  • Setting up a software company...

    - by ThePower
    Hi all, I am a Software Engineer who wants to start developing and selling a range of products. I have some in depth ideas that I would like to go on to develop individually and sell under my own company name. Does anyone with any experience in this process have any information with regards to the route to take and process of setting things up so that I may be able to sell my applications? Also any information regarding copyrighting the material would be excellent. I am looking for the easiest way to set up a business that will allow me to have a name in which I can start selling applications to a variety of sources under. I didn't quite know which site to post this on so I hope it is relevant for superuser. Regards, Lloyd

  • Strengths and Weaknesses - Ruby on Rails

    - by ThePower
    I was wondering what are the strengths and weakness of using Ruby on Rails for Web Application development. I would like an insight from other developers as to why they have chosen to write in Ruby on Rails over other languages and technologies. What does Ruby on Rails provide that has the edge over other web application technologies and languages? Are there any unique capabilities that the language provides? Thanks in advance, hopefully I will be able to make the choice as to use the language or not.

  • Why use "foo" in coding examples? [closed]

    - by ThePower
    Possible Duplicates: To foo bar, or not to foo bar: that is the question. Bit of a general question here, but it's something I would like to know! Whenever I am looking for resolutions to my C# problems online, I always come across "foo" being used as an example. Does this represent anything or is it just one of those unexplained catchy object names, used by many people in examples?

  • Calling Browser Zoom

    - by ThePower
    Hi, I would like to provide two buttons that will zoom in and out in my silverlight application. Basically, I would like them to do exactly the same as clicking Zoom In and Out via the browser. (Or holding CTRL and scrolling the mouse wheel). Is there an easy way to do this or will it be easier to use Scaling? Regards, Lloyd

  • Fractional to Decimal Form.

    - by ThePower
    Hi, there probably isn't an answer to this apart from "Create it yourself", but you never know, there might be some string representation for this. Basically, I would like to display number values as fractional instead of decimal when displaying the values as a string. Instead of a value displaying as: 1.1428571428571428571428571428571 I would prefer it to display as 8/7 Is there any way of doing this without writing the functionality myself? Regards Lloyd

  • Embedding Ruby, calling a function from C

    - by ThePower
    Hi, I'm writing an app that calls ruby code from c. I am having a little difficulty and wondered if anyone could point me in the rite direction. I currently have in my C. #include ruby.h main() { ruby_init(); rb_require("myRubyFile"); rb_funcall(rb_module_new(), rb_intern("RubyFunction"), 0, NULL); } My ruby file is in the same directory as my c file and is called myRubyFile.rb and contains a definition of the function RubyFunction(). This is a cut down of what I actually want to do, just making it more readable for others. I just require some feedback as to whether this is the correct method to call ruby code from my c file. Regards

  • String format or REGEX.

    - by ThePower
    I need an simple way to check whether a string that is sent to my function is of the form: (x + n)(x + m) //the +'s can be minus' //n and m represent a double //x represents the char 'x' Is there a simple string format that I can use to check that this is the form. As opposed to checking each character singularly. The whitespace will be removed to save any confusion. Regards Lloyd

  • URL Encoding - Illegal Character Replacement

    - by ThePower
    Hi, I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls. I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for ' E.G. If I was to use the following: Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?" Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name) Response.Redirect(url) I've tried wrapping url like this: Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.UrlEncode(url) And Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.HTMLEncode(url) Thanks in advance. P.S. Happy Christmas

  • How to get a Canvas' width when auto sizing is set?

    - by ThePower
    Hi, I'm using silverlight and I have created a Canvas, it has Auto Width and Height. But I require the Actual Width and Height in code. Is there a way I can do this? I don't want to use .Parent.Width, because the parents width may also be set to auto to replicate its parents height. Thanks again Lloyd

  • How do I invert a colour?

    - by ThePower
    I know that this won't directly invert a colour, it will just 'oppose' it. I was wondering if anyone knew a simple way (a few lines of code) to invert a colour from any given colour? At the moment I have this (which isn't exactly the definition of an invert): const int RGBMAX = 255; Color InvertMeAColour(Color ColourToInvert) { return Color.FromArgb(RGBMAX - ColourToInvert.R, RGBMAX - ColourToInvert.G, RGBMAX - ColourToInvert.B); }
