Today I have good news. Yesterday the company announced the Red Gate, partly that it was withdrawing from the charge for the program. NET Reflector. It means, that existing users will be able to download and install version 6.8 which will receive a perpetual license. This version will be released in early May and will be the last freeware version. Since version 7 program will be entirely commercial, where the basic license now costs 35$. […]
14 February 2011 launched a project called codingtv();. It is video-blog, the authors – Luke Gasior and Andrew Smith – demonstrate theirs vision of creating the application. The goal is a – authors want to create an application in the form of a simple blog. However, readers can observe the process to date. A novelty in this case is a form of, in which the authors present the progress of their work – video. No, authors abandoned the traditional approach in the form of posts written, and summarize the entries in the form of films. At each such entry is [...]
Currently, you can see more and more people working in offices on two or more monitors. Such work is more convenient and efficient. As a developer I would not be able to change back to one monitor. Therefore I see no contraindications, to write their own applications in a way, for working on multiple monitors. Of course this is not always feasible. […]
Previous post move issues related to the signing of documents. This entry, however, did not close topic, because it does not show how to verify a signed document. This subject will try to move in this entry. […]
By creating different types of programs, sometimes there is a problem to ensure the authenticity of the file. This situation occurs, when these files are very important data, change which could lead to generate different types of losses. Such files can be license files, containing financial data, and medical data, etc. This problem can be solved very easily using XML files. Just, sign that the XML file and check the signature before re-use file. If it is correct then we will have confidence, that the file has not been any unauthorized modifications. In the event of any change, signature of [...]
Increasingly, the projects begin to use LINQ and begin to see advantages. Not only, that in this way can write some code, and gain some clarity. Below are some examples, which slowly skim through the LINQ. For demonstration purposes, let’s create a class Person, which objects will be represented by a person. […]
Commands ping unless you do not have anyone present. It is used to diagnose network connectivity. With it you can check, Is there a connection between two hosts, what is the quality of this connection and the delays that occur. Additionally, if the host does not give the address in the form of address IP we can diagnose, whether the names are resolved correctly by the server DNS. […]
Sometimes there is a need to find information about what software is installed on your computer. For example, we want to know, if anyone has already installed the program and where it is installed. This knowledge is needed, example, if you add a file to a directory with the program already installed. The simplest example is to write different kinds of plugins. The problem does not occur if the application has been installed in the default directory, we know, but this can no longer guarantee. […]
Recently I discovered a new function to define your own code templates. This functionality is very often used by programmers, but can work wonders. In writing a business application always comes a time, that you need to write code to write data to the database, as well as their reading. In this case, 90% code is the same. First, read the column number, which stores data in such. SQLDataReader. And then we build on the basis of data objects. When reading data from the database should be programmed as the situation where there is a null. And this usually works [...]
This day, I needed to use XML serialization for a class Dictionary. I was very surprised when I have discovered, that this class does not support this kind of serialization. It seems to be, that XML data format is already the standard today, but it turns out, that is not everywhere. I try to find some solution in Google. I was thinking that somebody has been struggling with the same issue and shared developed solution. I managed to find some examples of solutions to this problem, but each of them had a small errors, that caused, that dictionary did not [...]
