I've never written any Visual Basic, much less VB6.
Until recently, I did develop on an XP box; our legacy products still run on it, so developing on it made sense.thatraja wrote: use browser control to simulate IE6
Is this somehow supposed to be related to my article Using the WebBrowser control, simplified[^]? I'll admit the article is a little dated, but I did polish it up a couple years ago. It's seemed fairly popular, and not too many folks have down-voted it.

Oh no. I just mentioned couple of outdated things there(VB6, XP, IE6.,). Too bad CM & co removed joke icon here so my joke message is

Do you have the other half of this medallion?  And I have even used your web browser control in a project. I used it for making a generic dialog as I got sick of creating common dialog resources just for presenting some data. With your little class I can tag on some styling and HTML formatting - works great.

I'm glad you like it. I've used it a lot for displaying HTML I've generated for reports and such.

Yeah, that is kind of what I do to.
As a side project, I used it with styling to create a MessageBox() lookalike dialog. It was really just to see if I could do it, but it actually makes it possible to stick all kinds of things in a MessageBox (tables, images, you name it).

I think there's something to be said for it. I've probably used that more than anything else over the years, but not for 10 years at least now.
In those days, when someone had a file checked out a verbal 'after you' seemed to work ok. Now we have branches everywhere and horrendous merging, one of the most painful parts of my job.
Whilst I accept that this is the way things work these days and I wouldn't go back it did seem to work just fine in the old days.

Our group is small. When we first started out, we decided the exclusive checkout model was easier for us to deal with. It's become part of our 'culture' now. We do use branching, but it tends to be a 'whole product' kind of thing. When a version is released to manufacturing, we create a branch for maintenance purposes. It becomes a separate development path for the software. Usually there are only a few updates in the branch, but we've occasionally had active branches that were maintained for years (stern looks  at certain customers who refuse to update to later versions).

Good Lord.
Guys, can we have a whip round?

The key here is to learn to love the whip.

I used Git, CVS and Mercurial (Hg) before.
and I like Mercurial (Hg) more.
Mercurial (Hg) is more easy to handle.

Not really programming in high level last time, but when... I use to do backups each day with timestamp in name and a tiny explanation on what was going on that day. If I need more explanation then I add a tiny *.txt with what I need to save.
If I come back to high level end, I suppose I will have a look to those tools and pick one.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

you should use some scc to aquire the knowledge. I would recommand git
Press F1 for help or google it.

Why are there CVS and Mercurial in the list and Perforce is missing?
|
|
|
|
|
because perforce sucks.
and yes, i'm using it daily at my job - and hate every minute of it.

In comparison to ClearCase, it's a thing of mesmerizing beauty.

I use SVN but sometimes I thought...My source files are under control but my code is Out of Control

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

SVN is a document versioning system; it does not have the functionality required for code management.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

It does work pretty well, Ankh is also good!
Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now.
How about a good fart to break the silence?

My "Other" SCC system is Perforce. I'd rather use Git, but the PHB's at work have decreed that Perforce is our repository.

My project uses AccuRev which is a cousin of ClearCase. It allows a pretty good amount of flexibility.

If you listen to tech media you'd think that everyone uses Git, and a handful of us old coots still use SVN. I use both, but given the choice I choose SVN every time.
