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.

:: 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 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

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:

IlMerge is a great way to merge multiple .NET assemblies into one, and I use it most often to combine assemblies with console applications so I end up with one executable..
However getting the latest version always was a hassle as the ilmerge download link was unclear about the version number.
Until I found out that IlMerge is on NuGet .
To get started with NuGet, either download the NuGet GUI or command-line version, then use either of these entry points to work with NuGet packages:
There is much more to the Package Manager Console and the Package Manager Dialog .

I missed EKON 16 as both they and we moved outside the regular conference season.
So I missed this session: EKON 16: MSBuild // Speaker Deck that has these GitHub source examples: gingters/EKON16_MSBuild .
Thanks Sebastian Gingter for pointing me at this!
msbuild is used by both Visual Studio and Delphi for building projects, and this session gave me some good ideas to improve the Continuous Integration projects I already had into place.

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.

Once every while you still do WinForms work, and bump into something you hadn’t bumped into before.
This time it was trying to set ForeColor = Color.Red on a ReadOnly TextBox for displaying error messages:
Using a TextBox means the user can still copy the text to the clipboard.
Using a Red foreground draws enough attention (it’s was an app with a really busy user interface).
When setting a TextBox from ReadOnly = false to true sets the BackColor from SystemColors.Window (usually white) to SystemColors.Control (usually light grey), and leaves the ForeColor to SystemColors.WindowText (usually black).
Setting ForeColor = Color.Red (funny there is a plural in SystemColors but not in Color ) it doesn’t display it as such:
To my surprise, the TextBox had ReadOnly text (you could copy, but not modify it), which showed with a a grey (SystemColors.Control) BackColor and a black (SystemColors.WindowText) ForeColor: the defaults for a ReadOnly TextBox, not using my ForeColor = Color.Red;
I vaguely remembered there was some odd way of solving this, but since I hadn’t written a blog article about it back then (somewhere around .NET 1.x or 2.0 I didn’t have a blog yet), I was glad that Cheetah posted this answer on StackOverflow : Read the rest of this entry »
