How about an article on setting up nightly builds on a budget. Lots of programming tools are free, but all I can seem to find a *nix scripts or commercial tools.
Possibly work through some of alternatives available and point out the pros and cons of each, with brief examples.
- WSH
- Perl / TCL / Python / Lua Scripting
- Batch Files
- Visual Studio Automation
- Cygwin and a bash shell
And some information on what is necessary to add additional tools into the build process.
- CVS
- Running make's for microsoft & non-microsoft compilers.
- CppUnit / run tests
- Collate Results
- Upload the results as HTML via FTP
- Send an E-mail to a list of people
Some advice on integrating build triggers would be good too.
- Trigger on time (nightly, hourly)
- Trigger on CVS commit
- Manual trigger
If you can keep you head when all about you

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.

Does anyone here have problem with Windows 2000's Fonts after installing SP4?!
It was working fine since I installed SP4 for my Win 2000 machine!
Always,
Hovik.

a possible reason for this problem is the fact that microsoft has edited the way it's software reads fonts, therefore it is possible that some fonts will not be rendered since they do not match the format of microsoft.
here is what you can do to fix it.
there are a few programs out there, but the one I found easiest to use was:
fontCreator
purchase or download (I believe they have a trial version) this program,
copy the fonts you would like to fix onto your desktop (or another folder that you'd like) and edit them. then copy them back intoyour fonts folder.
that should do it.
if you have any problems let me know, and I'll try to help

Tnx dear:
let me to work on & then inform u!
Always,
Hovik Melkomian.

I did what u told:
Copied font file a.ttf to a diffrent folder, opened with FontCreator 4.0 & Then save as in other folder! I didnt solve the problem & still windows cant open font!!!
Always,
Hovik.

if all you did was open and close the font then the problem should not have been solved, what you must do is EDIT some of the fonts PROPERTIES - I dont have the program here with me and I dont recall what menu it was under, but there are some options to edit font properties.
if you would give me an example of a font that you're refering to it would make it easier to help.
it is possible that the font was originally created for a MAC and therefore what has to be done is in the properties it has to be changed to "windows". - that should fix the font - also before putting it back into the fonts folder make sure you deleted the old version of it from the fonts folder. (and it would not hurt to keep a backup of the old version just-in-case you do something wrong.

tnx for reply:
no I edited the font & saved but no sense! And also the fornt is not for MAC & is MS font?!
Can u fix it if I send the forn for u?! if u wont mind?!
Always,
Hovik.
|
|

|

if that's the case, then I dont really know what to say.
usually I would try to do it for you, however lately I've been extremely busy and dont have much free time, so sorry about it.
however, if you would give me an example of the name of the font it would help, since it is possible that I already fixed that font.
Good luck!!

Dear friend:
Tnx for ur reply & help! the font that im using are Lotus & Titr! but they r Farsi fonts, & I dont know if u have them or not?!
Tnx anyway,
Hovik.

yes, you are correct in assuming that I do nothave them, however if you send them to me, it would help.
now that you mention thet they're another language (other than english) I am 99.9999% positive that the problem you have is as I specified previously, since the problem I had was also with a second (weird) language font, and it was set to be read like a windows font, but the language of the font was not set correctly.
if you try and fix the language settings that might work, otherwise, if you're still having problems, send it to me and I will try and help. - although I cant gaurantee when I'll have time for it.

Can someone please write an article an extremely advanced attributes.
Not just creating them but Like the Property attribute for the toolbar applies to all components within an assembly
What is the methodology behind attributes and how in a real world can you save coding time.
I've read all of the attributes but I yearn for a really adavnced topic for c#
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Specifically, i would like to see some information on converting audio from a known format (ie: wave) to an arbitrary format, *not* using directshow or codecs, but instead doing so by hand... This is specifically because i want to A) use java to do it, and B) the target format is not a predefined audio format, but rather one that was custom-made for the program.
I don't need anything specific to this format, but i would love to see something that would at least get me pointed in the right direction. Every search i try on the subject dumps a whole lot of junk about codecs and/or encoding apps on my lap, and teaches me nothing.

Hello and congratulations for this overwheliming site.
What I would like to see is an article on how to create a drop target for the SendTo menu that sends shortcuts of files to a specific folder.
Just as the "Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink" works, but sending shortcuts elsewhere than the Desktop.
|

|

Thanks for the reply.
I've quickly looked through your article yesterday and today but I am under the impression that the produced script allowes for copying or moving files but not creating shortcuts of the files.
Can you possibly shed some light there?
Also, if this is the case, can you point the bits that I would need to change in the script?

Hi!
After months, and months of architecting, programming and debugging we have finished our first
multimedia educationnal software! Great!!! 
...*But*, security is lacking.. 
**************************
Can what follows be done, and how please!??
1- Get a C# Windows Service installed silently (before the normal installation of the software)
that gathers the components' names of the target computer (where the software is installed)
2- Converts those components' names into a string (like, a GUID, sort of...) then sends it
to our web server, encrypted.
3- Our web server then sends back a DLL (or something!.. whatever..!) that is incorporated
with the software that is installed.
4- Every time the application starts, it checks for the Windows Service' string (or unique computer signature) to verify that it matches the DLL that our Web server sent.
DONE!
is this possible, or secure??
How can i do that? I'm fairly proefficient in C# (which is in what our app is written),
and to know how to do this kind of security would be great.
ps.: have any ideas on this method?
thanks!
