In my opinion, you should always use auto-properties instead of public fields.

Auto-properties are as much a black magic as anything else in C#. Once you think about it in terms of compiling down to IL rather than it being expanded to a normal C# property first it's a lot less black magic than a lot of other language constructs.

Post commit scripts are useful for this. Essentially on every commit a script is called after the event, which you can use to perform an svn export to where-ever. An interesting [article](http://arstechnica.com/articles/columns/linux/linux-20050406.ars) shows how this might be done, and [this](http://svnbook.red-bean....

You can probably use the SVN "hooks" to do this. Basically, you can configure your server to run scripts before or after every checkin. Here's the direct link to the relevant section of the [online book](http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.create.html).

I second Orion's idea. If you've got shell access to the server, it's actually extremely easy to use Subversion itself as the deployment tool. Just make sure you have some web server rules set up so that you don't accidentally expose the .svn directories.

What you need to do is attach event listeners to the `div` with `id="results"`. You can do this by adding `onkeyup`, `onkeydown`, etc. attributes to the `div` when you create it or you can attach these using JavaScript.

It depends on your target audience and if you think you can afford to alienate users. If you are making a geeky web app and you think most users will use firefox, then don't worry about IE6. I would launch with it working in Firefox, IE7, and Safari and look at who goes to your site. If you see the need to make it work...

I think you should probably use svn export rather than svn checkout for deployments, so you don't have those .svn directories muddying up your production backup jobs. svn export is a "clean" checkout. I'd also create a script that handles it all for you. Depending on how your code is structured, you can often version ...

Well consider this: When serving as text/html, all you need a doctype for is to trigger standards mode. Beyond that, the doctype does nothing as far as browsers are concerned. When serving as text/html, whether you use XHTML markup or HTML markup, it's treated by browsers as HTML. So, really it comes down to using t...

It depends on your audience, and whether the cost (development, maintenance, opportunity cost of developing to a 7 year old lowest common denominator) is worth it to gain those IE6 viewers. Also worth asking - is the IE6 demographic likely to care about or use your site? I think a large amount of IE6 users don't care ...

You need to use `-removeObserver:forKeyPath:` to remove the observer before `-[NSObject dealloc]` runs, so yes, doing it in the `-dealloc` method of your class would work. Better than that though would be to have a deterministic point where whatever owns the object that's doing the observing could tell it it's done an...

Notice that some users in the Enterprise have no choice. So if you target Enterprise customers, notice they are still on IE6. In general, Enterprise moves slower than consumer.

I mostly just use Notepad++, but I like [BabelPad](http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelPad.html) when I need to open a file in a unicode path or when I need to have more control over unicode stuff. I like EditPlus too. You can save a file as a template and create a new instance of it under the file menu. It's al...

Ask your customer this: are they willing to upgrade to Vista? If they say yes, then don't support IE6. Your target customers are the people who goes "whoa! vista. ".

Another way of getting a command object is to call `connection.CreateCommand()`. That way you shouldn't have to set the `Connection` property on the command object.

Steve Mcconell's advice, from [Code Complete](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0735619670): Use a multi-dimensional table. Each variable serves as an index to the table, and the if statement turns into a table lookup. For example if (size == 3 && weight > 70) translates into the table entry decision[size][...
