Checkstyle, Findbugs, and PMD all work pretty well in Java. I'm currently pretty happy with PMD running in NetBeans. It has a fairly simple GUI for managing what rules you want to run. It's also very easy to run the checker on one file, an entire package, or an entire project.

You can't. What you might want is keep a starting point and number of items; in essence, build iterators. If this is C++, you can just use `std::vector<int>` and use the built-in ones. In C#, I'd build a small iterator class that holds start index, count and implements `IEnumerable<>`.

Actually, the code I had pasted previously was the generated DOM, after all JS manipulation. If you don't have the [Firebug](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) extension for Firefox, you should get it now. Edit: Deleted the old post, it was no longer useful. Firebug is, so this one is staying :)

Looks like `AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();` will do the trick :)

Throw away only in my opinion. UML is a great tool for communicating ideas, the only issue is when you store and maintain it because you are essentially creating two copies of the same information and this is where it usually blows. After the initial round of implementation most of the UML should be generated from the ...

Just looking though my email archives, there are a number of pretty long "first" names (of course what is meant by first is variable by culture). One example is Krishnamurthy - which is 13 letters long. A good guess might be 20 to 25 letters based on this. Email should be longer since you might have firstname.lastn...

Either that, or System.Reflection.Assembly.GetLoadedModules(). Note that AppDomain.GetAssemblies will only iterate assemblies in the AppDomain. It's possible for an application to have more than one AppDomain, so that may or may not do what you want.

it is varchar right? So it then doesn't matter if you use 50 or 25, better be safe and use 50, that said I believe the longest I have seen is about 19 or so. Last names are longer

I usually go with: : 30 chars : 30 chars : 50 chars : 200 chars If I am concerned about long fields for the names, I might sometimes go with 50 for the name fields too, since storage space is rarely an issue these days.

As Kibbee hinted at above, the argument of leveraging existing .Net developers doesn't hold much water. It is impossible to be an expert in all facets of .Net development.

I just queried my database with millions of customers in the USA. - The maximum length was 46. I go with 50.

Sure sounds like firewall issues. Try stopping iptables, and running again. Also, RALUS can dump a log file - which may give some more to go on. I use the older UNIX agent myself, which uses port 6101 IIRC - but I believe that the newer client uses tcp/10000 for control and 1024-65535 for transfer. Last resort is to...
