No shortcuts :) but everybody works slightly differently.

This is kinda oddball, but I was poking around with the GNU assembler today (I want to be able to at least read the syntax), and was trying to get this little contrived example of mine to work. Namely I just want to go from 0 to 100, printing out numbers all the while. So a few minutes later I come up with this: ``` #...

Well written functions will usually push all the registers onto the stack and then pop them when they're done so that they remain unchanged during the function. The exception would be eax that contains the return value. Library functions like printf are most likely written this way, so I wouldn't do as Wedge suggests...

If you want to use the merge-tracking of Subversion 1.5 over more than one project at the same time you should use a single tree without externals.

You can also use TortoiseSVN for editting the proxy settings. TortoiseSVN saves the settings in the registry in the common location that all Subversion clients (by default) use. : A proxy settings dialog is now implemented in the AnkhSVN daily builds. It will be available in the next release.

Using Status as a return value remembers me of the "old days" of C programming, when you returned an integer below 0 if something didn't work. Wouldn't it be better if you throw an exception when (as you put it) ? If some "lazy code" doesn't catch your exception, you'll know for sure.

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but if "something went wrong" within your function (unexpected circumstances) I think you should be throwing an exception rather than using status return codes.

Another SVN integration with Visual studio is AnkhSVN [http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/](http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/) It is free, and has a few quirks. Personally, I use it for basic diffing and the visual indicators for file status (changed, conflict, etc.) while I use Tortoise for the heavy lifting.

Instead of forcing someone to check the status, I think you should assume the programmer is aware of this risks of not doing so and has a reason for taking that course of action. You don't know how the function is going to be used in the future and placing a limitation like that only restricts the possibilities.

If the implementation has a parameterless constructor, you can do this using the System.Activator class. You will need to specify the assembly name in addition to the class name: ``` IStep step = System.Activator.CreateInstance(sAssemblyName, sClassName).Unwrap() as IStep; ``` [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar...

Well Assembly.CreateInstance would seem to be the way to go - the only problem with this is that it needs the fully qualified name of the type, i.e. including the namespace.

there is also an argument for separating the tiers - have a set of serializable objects that get passed to and from the web service and a translator to map and convert between that set and the business objects (which might have properties not suitable for passing over the wire) Its the approach favoured by the web ser...

I'm leading a project where we'll be recording metrics data. I'd like to retain the data for years. However, I'd also like to keep the primary table from becoming bloated with data that, while necessary for long term trending, isn't required for short term reporting. What is the best strategy for handling this situati...

Is it possible to create a trigger that will not be in a transaction? I want to update data on a linked server with a trigger but due to firewall issues we can't create a distributed transaction between the two servers.

I'm trying to create a webapplication where I want to be able to plug-in separate assemblies. I'm using MVC preview 4 combined with Unity for dependency injection, which I use to create the controllers from my plugin assemblies. I'm using WebForms (default aspx) as my view engine. If I want to use a view, I'm stuck on...

I know it's not helpful, so I'll probably get downvoted for this, but really, the solution is to fix the firewall problem. I think if you use remote (not linked) servers (which are not the preferred option these days) then you can use SET REMOTE_PROC_TRANSACTIONS OFF to prevent the use of DTC for remote transactions, ...

The two previous answers have mentioned "Managed C++", this is an old bolt-on that they did to allow you to use managed C++ in a .NET environment. It wasn't a first class citizen - unlike C++/CLI ([link text](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_clr). But to answer your original question, no, Visual C++ is not managed ...

Any chance you can set up your server as a VPN endpoint? Then you would only have the VPN ports and the HTTP ports open. When you want to RDP to the server, you would connect to the VPN first and then you're good to go. Only reason is, if my memory serves me right, RDP traffic is not encrypted. This is how I run ...

Either of those options are excellent, but it really depends on the problem domain. For things like cash balances or statistical data, I think that rolling up records and consolidating them is the best way, you can then move the rolled up records into a parallel archive table, keying them in such a way that you can "un...

Does anyone know of a good Command Prompt replacement? I've tried bash/Cygwin, but that does not really meet my needs at work because it's too heavy.

Your object's GUID's should not be changing. In other words, once you register the COM object, re-registering shouldn't be adding anything additional to the registry. Unless you added additional COM interfaces or objects to the project. In any case, if this is a one time deal (and it sounds like it is), open regedit ...
