When developers and suppliers carefully list the tools used to build an application and what third-party components are included, IT can improve software patching and updates. *may contain nuts
|
|
|
|
|
Not a bad idea - especially for third party libraries. Falls down a bit when copy-pasta coder gets going though.

I work in medical devices and we're required to keep a list of software that we use. We spell out which libraries, version number and download link in case of an audit.

Windows Server 2016 will be generally available by mid-October. Microsoft's Azure Stack hybrid system is hitting Technical Preview today. With all the new features I couldn't be bothered to look up
And probably a lot of Azure integration.

What I want to know is when will it be specifically available?

In this post, I’ll focus on how we’re making this plan a reality with .NET Standard. We’ll cover which APIs we plan to include, how cross-framework compatibility will work, and what all of this means for .NET Core. "And now you have 15 standards"

Standards are good, we should have lots and lots of them! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I can't wait for .NET Standard Super Plus.

I did not write this:
r = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(ExtensionMethods.TopLeftCorner(DisplayRectangle), new Size(anchorSize, anchorSize));
I had written:
r = new Rectangle(DisplayRectangle.TopLeftCorner(), new Size(anchorSize, anchorSize));
When the elephant did VS2015 decide to refactor my code???

Hi Marc, I wonder if something changed in your NameSpace(s) usage, or, if somehow a reference to System.Drawing got lost.
Are you using anything like ReSharper that will munge your code.
cheers, Bill

I've found that vanilla VS2015 now includes quite a few ReSharper-isms. I haven't used it a whole lot (most of my VS code base is still on 2013), but I don't recall if it auto applied said -isms or if you had to use a key command (like R#'s alt-Enter) to get to them.

By default, they are applied automatically. There is a configuration setting to disable them though.

Did you pass it through your Android spell checker?
(Actually, my first thought was ReSharper.)

Good article.
I love the part that shows Ballmer had about enough industry and company vision as to require a service dog to help get him around.
