ASP.NET – Great explanation of Server.MapPath parameters “.”, “..”, “~”, @”\”, “/” and “/path”
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/18
Thanks StackOverflow user splattne (Stefan Platnner) for explaining the differences between the various parameters you can pass to Server.MapPath, and giving some very clear examples.
You can also use it with HostingEnvironment.MapPath, which has the added benefit that it doesn’t require HttpContext (for more detail on it, see Working With HttpContext.Current).

.NET/C#: On my research list is the Mono.Options arguments parser
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/17
The Mono.Options single .cs source file seems very well suited for arguments parsing of (especially) console application:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/Mono.Options/Mono.Options/Options.cs
so it is on my research list, like some other .NET/C# based command line parsing libraries (:

Generating complex math visualizations in SVG using C# and ILNumerics – Scott Hanselman
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/15
Funny how Generating complex math visualizations in SVG using C# and ILNumerics and MathViz (no, not this MathViz!) look so similar.
I hope the MathViz code becomes public one day.

Attach attach a debugger to a WebService (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/10
Some things you have done for ages, are already phrased so nicely, the only thing you can do is quote.
Thanks Dave Coulter:
You can attach the Visual Studio debugger to a process by:

Windows Development: Switching JIT debuggers (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/03
StackOverflow user User Sertac Akyuz posted a small Delphi snippet showing how to switch the Windows JIT debugger.
I’ll need to complete it somewhere, but since the concept is interesting, here is his answer:
Write a simple application that would launch the debugger you want in case of an application crash.
Register your app in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebugIn case of an 64bit OS, also to the following key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebugadd/modify the string named Debugger with value:
"C:..\Win32\Debug\Project1.exe" %ld %ldA very simple application:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin ComboBox1.Items.Add('BDS 16'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('BDS 15'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('WinDbg'); ComboBox1.Items.Add('VS'); // etc.. ComboBox1.ItemIndex := 0; end; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var proc: THandle; begin Assert(ParamCount >= 2); proc := OpenProcess(SYNCHRONIZE, False, StrToInt(ParamStr(1))); case ComboBox1.ItemIndex of 0: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\..\RAD Studio\9.0\bin\bds.exe', PChar(Format('/attach:%s;%s', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); 1 : // etc.. 2: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\Program Files (x86)\..\windbg.exe', PChar(Format('-p %s -e %s -g', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); 3: ShellExecute(0, '', 'C:\Windows\system32\VSJitDebugger.exe', PChar(Format('-p %s -e %s', [ParamStr(1), ParamStr(2)])), '', SW_SHOWNORMAL); //.. end; if Bool(proc) then begin WaitForSingleObject(proc, INFINITE); Application.Terminate; end; end;

Development tools should become more version control friendly, and version control tools more whitespace tolerant
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/28
There are a few more messages in the “Missed Schedule” backlog, and I really hope that WordPress is going to address this really annoying bug soon as I have to recheck my blog multiple times a day now.
Back on topic:
Development tools should become more version control friendly, and version control tools more whitespace tolerant
I’m taking Delphi and Bitbucket here as an example, but this holds for many more development tools and version control tools.
Ultimately, you want changes to be as simple as this one: only the relevant changed lines show up as an actual change.
But often changes include convoluted non-relevant information.

.NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 support ended 20131008 (via: Microsoft Support Lifecycle)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/27
WorPress did it again to me:
2013/10/08; Missed schedule
Anyway:
If you still have a coded base in the .NET Framework 1.1 / Visual Studio 2003, then you should note that after 20131008, the extended support has ended.
Though the introduction of both feels like yesterday to lots of us, they have been supported for more than 10 years. An era has ended. Time to move on to newer versions has passed long ago.
The next important date is about 2.5 years from now: 2016-04-12, when the support for the .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 ends.
From the Microsoft Support Lifecycle: .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft Support Lifecycle: Visual Studio .NET 2003 pages (I formatted the dates into YYYY-MM-DD): Read the rest of this entry »

Two ways of adding a classic .asmx WebService in .net 4+ using Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and up (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/27
As of Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (I think it was there in the original non-SP1 version of VS2010), Microsoft has hidden the addition of classic ASCX webservices as they favour WCF over ASPX (there are quite a few differences).
It is easy to workaround though as Stack Overflow users User Cyberherbalist and User Alejandro Martin have shown, with a little bit post-editing from me: Read the rest of this entry »
