Works! Will get it on my Win8 VM in the morning and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ron appreciate it.

By the way, is this supposed to be Win7 compatible? Having a number of issues playing with it on my laptop...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I developed it on Win7 what kind of problems are you having?

It asks me to create the database, which I select a folder (in my My Documents folder) and give it a name (WinHeist.db3), after hitting Create it gives the error: "An error occurred trying to create the DB" (with an Information icon  ).
The application still opens, so if I click the options gear in the tool bar, I get an "Unhandled Exception" dialog with the error "The type initializer for WInHeist.DBAccess.MasterRepository" threw an exception. The location of this error is in the ConfigForm Initialize routine, when it calls MasterRepository.CategoryRepository, apparently you missed a check to see if a database actually exists before trying to get data from it.
I assume the second error is because of the inability to create the DB, if it isn't valid to run the program without a DB created, you should probably exit the program instead of allowing it to run.

Did you pull the link down? Went to grab it on my VM and the only link there today is for V1.0.6...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I pulled it until I got it fixed I will put it back up shortly. I'm just now testing the changes I made so it shouldn't be long!
Thanks,
Mike

Ok Ron I've put the updated version up.
Thanks,

Man today has been a real learning experience, is it Monday? I made a change to the Primary key of my site and I didn't realize that I needed to restart my site. I just changed hosts a few months back so am still learning abut some the idiosyncrasies with it.
Thanks for your patience,
Mike

Ok, finally got it downloaded...
On a virgin, clean machine here is the process:
1. Downloaded and saved the file. It ran after giving some warnings (IE said it wasn't a file people usually save, and Windows blocked it because it may be harmful, but I selected More Info which allowed me to "Run Anyway".
2. The installer ran, but said that .NET 3.5 was required and brought me to the Microsoft site.
3. Downloaded .NET 3.5 SP1 and installed.
4. Ran installer again, this time directly from the file and the Setup started. Setup completed adding a shortcut to the desktop. There is also a WinHeist category in the "Apps" section of the startup menu, although both links say "Shortcut to WinHeist", might want to change that to just say "WinHeist".
5. Ran program, asked me to create a database, which I was able to successfully accomplish this time. After creating the database the software ran, dialogs opened and no errors.
6. Help file still says V1, but I assume you haven't gotten that far. Also the version in the title bar (2.0.0.0) doesn't match your download version.
Thats about all I can see, let me know if you want me to try something specific.

Ron,
This was on a Windows 8 machine I assume?
Yeah I've got some tweaking to do but basically just wanted to make sure it ran in Win8.
I just pulled up the help file and am working on it now.
Thanks for all you help and patience, owe you a ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) or ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Win 8.1, as if you just did an install and ran the Windows Update until it said no more updates. Nothing more, no third-party components or any other installs. Just a fresh, windows-updated install.

I understand that everything is "visual" these days and the level of abstraction in software development is enormous, making it unnecessary for a developer to know about existence of actual ones and zeroes that make up the CPU instructions  .
I know that this forum is dedicated to the latest tools primarily from Microsoft and this is not the right place to ask the question I have.
Yet I am desperately looking for the "dinosaurs" who may know what assembler is, who learned to program 30-40 years ago, and in the process of doing that came across the basic programming tools, such as command-line compilers and linkers.
I've been using bcc32 and ilink32 to build API applications for 15 years, primarily for scientific computing and hardware control.
Recently I came up with an unusual project, which requires some re-configuring of the compiler settings. Unfortunately, my post at Embarcadero (former Inprise -> former Borland) web site remains unanswered. That is why I am here "crying into the wind" for some help.
Please reply to this message if you think you could help.
I do not bother to describe the question itself in this post (to save space on the server  )

I use it occasionally but you have more experience with it than I do.

I have some old books on Borland C++ 4.0. There is also a Quick Reference card of Compiler options. It was released in 1993 about 6 years before bcc55, but it may help.
Ok, so you made me nostalgic. I had to go find and download bcc55. The email for the download included a couple of links, this one shows some BCC55 Complier Options[^].

I've created two windows 8 applications. One of them was a very useful app. Lot of users gave me good feedback. And they wish i could improve it. Some site web has choosen this app as a very suggested app.
But because of my work, almost one year i didn't touch it. Now, i want to send my app to someone else who can take care of it.
Here is the link of my app http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/fr-fr/app/putem-on-maps/af6b344c-07c1-4684-ad49-1d20b6870dc1/m/ROW
Another here is: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/fr-fr/app/link-file/c0b3e137-71a0-473a-a02a-d8f198a4d1e2
I don't care of money earning in the future from your part. But i really want my idea could help more peoples.
If someone has interested in it, please contact me with my gmail: comiscience@gmail.com I'm Bo. Please write me the mail with English, French or Chinese please.
And i also want to know where can i find you who want to continue my idea
Thanks

I have an android app that I am currently searching for beta testers.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/hmv49zroc40lyfi/GrubRundown(2).apk[^]
this is the URL to download the apk it can be installed with an APK manager.
The app is a grocery list editor called Applebeans Grocery List Editor. It provides the ability to create a grocery list manually or by scanning barcodes.
Any questions please email me David.Hulse@live.com

Hey All,
I recently been developed a small app for my 3 year old daughter. The idea being that when she sits at the computer she cannot inadvertantly change anything. When she hits a key on the keyboard the number or letter will popup on the screen and a voice will say what it is. With the mouse she can move the letter around the screen. With the mouse buttons she can change the colour, and with the mouse wheel she can change the size.
A screen shot of the app can be found here (40.2 KB)
The source code with a release exe and audio files can be found here (4,092.7) KB
If you do try it out. Remember that the keystrokes <Esc><a><d><a> will stop it.
I am thinking of writing an article on it and some of the things I did to create it. If I do write an article the code will definitely have to be cleaned up first. Do you guys think it is worthy of an article here on CP, especially seeing how it is not geared towards developers.
What I need from you guys and/or gals is people who are willing to provide translations and audio files for other languages. I would really love to get this working in French, Spanish, German, and Dutch. The more the better.
If you are interested in helping have a look in the "release/audio/1033" folder and find the file named "Sounds.xml". This file contains instructions (as comments), All the GUI texts that would need to be translated, and the linkages between the characters and audio files.
For every language translated I would need new audio files and an updated Sounds.xml file.
I could also stand to have new audio files for the 2057 English UK folder.
Thanks for your consideration.

I could do a translation to german, if the request is still standing.

Yes, the request is still open. I appreciate your response. Everything you need should be in the ADA.zip download. If you have any questions just ask.
On a side note, if you tried the app you may have noticed that the "start from screen saver" option is a bit flakey. I have tried to improve it, but I am still not quite there.
Again Thanks for your response.

I'm thinking about developing an online and open software testing website to facilitate black box software testing in terms of speed and efficiency.
The 'speed and efficiency' comes from the idea of testing the software by more than one tester, seeing that the website is open-for-public we can make sure that we are gonna find the testers quickly.
I'm NOT saying i'm going to automate tests, as the website tends to make the relation between the tester (who is a volunteer) and the one who wants his software operations to be tested.
No talking about the technical manners fulfilling the project, I just want your opinions about the concept of the project.

Your concept is to find volunteers to do structured/unstructured black-box testing? Will they be validating whether the user-stories can be executed using the system?

I doubt that anyone will work for free. Will the site be ad-supported, or would the test-applicants pay a fee?

hi, have been searching around for quite a while on this but have been having trouble locating an explanation.
i've read all over that unit tests need to be runnable independently from other code. this makes sense to me but my question is what to do with re-usable code?
for example:
i have 4 tests:
CreateUserTest : i create a user object in the db
DeleteUserTest: here, i want to create a user, then delete that user. so i re-use the code in the first test.
CreateGroupTest: Creates a group in the db
AddUserToGroupTest: this is another reusability example. here, i run the "CreateGroupTest", "CreateUserTest","AddUserToGroupTest"
i can run each test individually and in any order. (which is good)
is something wrong with this type of reusability?
i have everything as seperate tests in one test fixture with one setup and one teardown.
Any thoughts?
