Boy, Microsoft made it hard to find the location of xsd.exe !
It is actually located like here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\xsd.exe
But that is nowhere on the default path, nor in the registry.
What happens during installation of Visual Studio and/or the Microsoft SDK, is that the vsvars32.bat xsd.exe) to the PATH.
So the trick is to find the youngest Visual Studio first, then run the according vsvars32.bat, and then xsd.exe is on the path.
Learn more about bidirectional Unicode characters
:: Dynamically finds the installed xsd.exe, then calls it with the passed parameters
:: test these environment variables that have 110 or 120 in them (future enhancements: support more Visual Studio versions):
:: Visual Studio .NET 2002: VS70COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio .NET 2003: VS71COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2005: VS80COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2008: VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2010: VS100COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2012: VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2013: VS120COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\
:: They contain `vsvars32.bat` which will update the `PATH` so it includes where `xsd.exe` resides

A long and shorter while ago, I wrote about practicing your coding and test driven development skills:
Here are some Coding Kata videos of the Bowling Game Kata in various languages and environments. Some of them are dumb (no audio) just like good practice usually is. Note: it helps to know a bit about 10 Pin Bowling Scoring rules .
And since I want to learn Haskell and have done a lot of Tic-Tac-Toe demos inthe past:

During any software life cycle, you will want to phase out some code, and most likely want to mark code to be phased out in the future.
So here are two examples on how to do that in C# and in Delphi that just shows the effects of obsoleting/deprecating code.

I’m going to experiment with this. Most likely the quality of the code samples will be the biggest factor in like/dislike result.
Visual Studio – Google+ .

Next time I run into .NET and native threading issues:
Main UI threads often have a correlation between managed and native thread IDs.
But for other threads, you cannot be really sure.
Some background articles on this:

Thanks Stefan Glienke for pointing me to NCrunch for Visual Studio :
It intelligently runs automated tests so that you don’t have to, and gives you a huge amount of useful information about your tested code, such as code coverage and performance metrics, inline in your IDE while you type.

A few libraries for writing and/or reading CSV files in .NET:
Most of the above links come from these SO questions:
Together with the links from my previous CSV post If you think CSV is easy; think again that should get everyone going.

Wow: I feel like having lived under a stone for 8 years, as RosettaCode has been alive since it was founded in 2007 by Mike Mol .
The idea is that you solve a task and learn from that, or learn by seeing how others have solved tasks or draft tasks .
So in a sense it is similar to the Rosetta stone : it has different languages phrasing the same tasks.
There are already a whole bunch of languages on RosettaCode (of which a few are in the categories below), and you can even suggest or add your own languages.
When you want to solve tasks, be sure to look at the list unimplemented tasks by language that leads to automatic reports by language (for instance two of the languages I use most often: C# and Delphi ).
I’m sure there are lots of programming chrestomathy sites , even beyond the ones, and it feels very similar to programming kata sites .
