My preference is to be consistent, e.g., if you use brackets on one block, use brackets all throughout even with just one statement: ``` if (cond1) { SomeOperation(); Another(); } elseif (cond2) { DoSomething(); } else { DoNothing(); DoAnother(); } ``` But if you have just a bunch of one liners: ``` ...

There is no right or wrong way to write the above statement. There are plenty of accepted coding [styles](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style). However, for me, I prefer keeping the coding style consist throughout the entire project. ie. If the project is using K&R style, you should use K&R.

You might try prototyping your design - create an initial version of the database and write some scripts (or use a tool) to populate the tables with a reasonable amount of data. Then you will know for sure how much space X rows takes up. If it's too much, you can go back to the drawing board with your design. I know...

I tend to use braces at all times. You can get some subtle bugs where you started off with something like: ``` if(something) DoOneThing(); else DoItDifferently(); ``` and then decide to add another operation to the `else` clause and forget to wrap it in braces: ``` if(something) DoOneThing(); else DoItDiffere...

I would strongly advocate using braces, even when they're optional. Why? Take this chunk of C++ code: ``` if (var == 1) doSomething(); doSomethingElse(); ``` Now, someone comes along who isn't really paying enough attention and decides that something extra needs to happen if (var == 1), so they do this: ``` if (...

It sounds like you're going to be limited mainly by the capabilities of whatever user agent you're building for; if this is a web project, drawing capabilities are going to be dependent on the browser. Since Ruby is running server-side, you would at minimum need some JavaScript to allow dragging/zooming, etc. There's p...

If the shell scripts are normally run on a telnet session then you could screen scrape and parse the responses. There are commercial COM components out there such as the Dart telnet library: [http://www.dart.com/pttel.aspx](http://www.dart.com/pttel.aspx) that would let you do this. Either that or you could roll your ...

Since setting the properties with javascript never seemed to work, but setting using Firebug's inspect did, I started to suspect that the javascript ID selector was broken - maybe there were multiple items in the DOM with the same ID?

I don't think the that benefit of design patterns come from trying to find a design pattern to fit a problem. You can however use some heuristics to help clean up your design in this quite a bit, like keeping the UI as decoupled as possible from the rest of the objects in your system. There is a pattern that might hel...

> I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I look at system requirements for certain software I rarely ever see the .NET Framework as being a requirement. So, I always wonder how they get by without it being a requirement (if they developed the software in .NET). So, I just assume that most commercial ...

@[KP](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11219/calling-rest-web-services-from-a-classic-asp-page#11238) You should actually use `MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP` from ASP/server side applications. `XMLHTTP` should only be used client side because it uses WinInet which is not supported for use in server/service apps.

It turns out there was a very simple solution in my case. The vendor project gathers several header files into one monolithic header file, which is then `#include`d by the vendor sources. But the make rule that builds the monolithic header accidentally included the generated `config.h`. The presence of the PACKAGE, ...

Anyone know how to do this without using a third party program? If there no way to do it with a add-on someone can recommend one? EDIT: I need to add this in the server so all users have the same signature. Thanks

I'm no VB.NET expert, but have you tried to set the value to for example 1.0.0.*? This should increase the revision number (at least it does in the AssemblyInfo.cs in C#).

I think to be honest you a better just boning up on your standard design patterns and applying them to the individual problems that you face in developing your UI. While there are common UI "themes" (such as dealing with modifier keys) the actual implementation may vary widely. I have O'Reilly's [Head First Design Patt...

I have a small VB.NET application that I'm working on using the full version of Visual Studio 2005. In the properties of the project, I have it set to .

Ruby nicely obviates one issue in the discussion. The standard for a one-liner is: ``` do_something if (a == b) ``` and for a multi-line: ``` if (a == b) do_something do_something_else end ``` This allows concise one-line statements, but it forces you to reorganize the statement if you go from single- to mul...

The option you select is only to update the setup number. To update the program number you have to modify the AssemblyInfo. C# [assembly: AssemblyVersion("X.Y.")] VB.NET Assembly: AssemblyVersion("X.Y.*")

@Pascal, sadly I'm not aware of any F/OSS alternatives. We usually just buy in these types of libraries provided that they're not hugely expensive, and more often than not the cost is built into the customer's overall project cost. If you had .NET on the server, you could build a COM wrapped component to do the heavy ...

Internally, the OutputCacheAttribute (aka output cache filter) uses the same internal mechanism as [page output caching](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hdxfb6cy.aspx) (aka the @OutputCache directive). Therefore, it's not any faster than page output caching. However, with MVC, you really can't use page output ...

I'm slowly learning Objective-C and Cocoa, and the only way I see so far to capture key events in Text Views is to use delegation, but I'm having trouble finding useful documentation and examples on how to implement such a solution. Can anyone point me in the right direction or supply some first-hand help?

Change the code for the About box to ``` Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format("Version {0}", My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString) ``` Please note that all the other answers are correct for "how do I get my assembly version", not the stated question "how do I show my publish version".

At first I was interested in how different programs worked, so I started by looking at the source code. Then when I began to understand how the program worked, I would change certain parameters to see what would happen. So basically I learned how to read before I learned how to write. Which coincidently is how most peo...

Here is a answer, without testing (like martin did). In reflector, you will see that the DefaultEventAttribute allows itself to be inherited. In reflector, you see that the UserControl class has it's default event set to the Load event. So the possible reason is that even though you are decorating your user control...
