In case I need to export DocX in .NET again: DocX – Home which is also at github.com/WordDocX/DocX
(I did it both with Word Automation and OOXML, they were a pain).

Some notes/links on Windows Debugging CLR applications
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/07/02
I only need it every once in a while, so finding the right links and tips to help me usually takes too much time.
So here is a small list to get started:
- Debugging Managed Code Using the Windows Debugger (Windows Debuggers).
- SOS.dll (SOS Debugging Extension).
- .net – Windbg expects different version of mscordacwks.dll – Stack Overflow.
- .net – What to do with “The version of SOS does not match the version of CLR you are debugging” in WinDbg? – Stack Overflow.
- Download Psscor4 Managed-Code Debugging Extension for WinDbg from Official Microsoft Download Center.
- .net 4.0 – Unable to load SOS in WinDbg – Stack Overflow.
- just do IT: windbg sos.dll version issue.
- IanG on Tap: Getting Stack Traces of a Running .NET Process.
Keywords: CLR, SOS.DLL, WinDbg, mscordacwks.dll, PSSCOR4

.NET/C#: open source Nikon SDK C# Wrapper project at SourceForge.net
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/26
Interesting: about a year and a half ago, the Nikon SDK C# wrapper project started ad sourceforge.
Basically, it allows you to integrate the operation of your Nikon DSLR into your .NET projects.
It has some very interesting features:
- Control your Nikon DSLR via USB
- Capture Jpeg and Raw images directly to system memory
- Receive ‘Live View’ images
- Record Video
- Query and change camera settings (Exposure, Aperture, ISO, etc.)
- And much more…

StudioShell: integrating Visual Studio in PowerShell
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/10
Wow, it seems I’ve been living under a stond since early 2011: the first StudioShell checkin.
[WayBack] StudioShell opens marvellous possibilities in Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and up.

.NET remnants of the past: Visual Studio .NET 2003 cannot start debugging as the assembly is missing
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/15
Boy, was this Visual Studio .NET 2003 stuff a long time ago.
Bumped into this one:
---------------------------
Microsoft Development Environment
---------------------------
Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target 'C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\bin\Debug\AppTest.exe' is missing. Please build the project and retry.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Indeed, Visual Studio was right: it didn’t understand the Release build existed like Visual Studio 2005 and up does:
C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\obj\Release\AppTest.exe

.NET/C#: Ctrl+R+R toggles wrap in Visual Studio.NET 2003 (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/14
A while ago, I had to do some emergency fixing in Visual Studio .NET 2003 as – despite it is unsupported – a client was still using it.
By habit, I tried to rename a variable using the Ctrl+R+R shortcut for Refactor Rename. It didn’t work, and I was not surprised: this refactoring was introduced in Visual Studio 2005.
A while later, I started to notice that WordWrap was turned on in the code editor.
It took me a few minutes and a quick search to find out the two are related:
Visual studio 2003: ctrl+R+R is the shortcut to toggle WordWrap in the code editor.
Thanks Micah for answering that!

.NET uses banker’s rounding as default as it follows IEEE 754 (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/08
It is almost 3 years that Ostemar wrote an interesting answer on Stack Overflow to the question
Why does .NET use banker’s rounding as default? – Stack Overflow.
Few people (even many programmers don’t!) know about rounding and how it can influence software, let alone what bankers rounding does so lets set a few things straight first.
Rounding matters. Depending on the kinds of software you write, it matters a little, or a lot.
For instance, in these categories, it can matter an awful lot:
- Financial applications
- Statistical applications
Bankers rounding means rounding half even. Which means that #.5 will round to the even number closest to #.
In bankers rounding, 1.5 rounds to 2, 3.5 to 4 as does 4.5, -1.5 rounds to -2, -3.5 to -4 as does -4.5.
This is called “unbiased” because for reasonable distributions of y values, the expected (average) value of the rounded numbers is the same as that of the original numbers.
This is contrary to what the majority of people are accustomed to: Round half away from zero is taught in most countries (even for the Dutch, despite the alias “Dutch Rounding” for round half to even).
Round half away from zero rounds 1.5 rounds to 2, 3.5 to 4 and 4.5 to 5. Negative numbers round like this: -1.5 rounds to -2, -3.5 to -4 as does -4.5 to -5.
This is only free of overall bias if the original numbers are positive or negative with equal probability.
In short, .NET uses bankers rounding because it follows the IEEE 754 rounding rules.

Microsoft’s new open source direction for C# and .NET (and native compilation too): Anders Hejlsberg explains « Tim Anderson’s ITWriting
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/02
I totally agree with Tim Anderson here:
Open source, native code compilation, and an innovative compiler: it adds up to huge changes for C# and .NET, positive ones as far as I can tell.

IdeOne is a lot faster and more recent than “Compile and Execute C# Sharp online”
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/23
I just bumped into Compile and Execute C# Sharp online.
As of writing, it uses Mono 2.10.2.0 which is quite old, and it is dead slow: it takes more than a minute to compile and execute a simple console application.
The reason is that this is a one man project.
IdeOne is much faster, for instance it took a few seconds to compile and run this simple C# program.
