for years i thought deltree (deletes a folder and all the files in it) was removed from the DOS days. before it was not included in the default command set but available as a separated executable. i just stumbled in one of our post build events which does the same with the remove directory command with...

I am currently working with conversion of ASP Classic web application to ASP.Net 2.0 and I have to deal with a lot of client-side script. Before, I used to insert an alert( sampleValue ) to be able to view the current value of a variable until I found out that about “debugger” keyword in JavaScript....

I find it hard when the currently active code sheet or item is not highlighted in solution explorer and there were times when i couldn't easily see where the option is so this is for my future reference. VS 2003: Tools->Options->Environment->Projects and Solution VS 2005: Tools->Options...

While Sql Server provides functions to manipulate datetime data types(DateDiff, DateAdd etc.) they don't have(as far as I know) functions to manipulate time. Very useful when computing time differences. In the past I had to manually datediff parts of the time(hh:mm:ss) which wasn't scalable especially...

I was browsing devpinoy today when I saw a post by one the members about his "maintenance project" boredom. While I was reading his post I kinda had this "blast from the past" moment wherein memories of how i was back when i was starting my career as developer started vividly jumping...

"Combine. Merge. Join. Append. Concatenate. Microsoft Word Documents." A few weeks ago I wrote an article about merging word documents in C# and got great response about the article. One of the readers, Abhi, had an interesting problem. The application he wrote was throwing this error: Word...

if you're a keyboard junkie, you might have mistaken to close that Visual Studio Tool Window (resharper's find usage is a prime candidate) with an Alt+F4 keystroke and when you don't have any changes to save, your slow VS which took you almost a minute to load is now closed. Next time, just...

Previously jokiz bloged about this one , I'd like to add further. The same issue cropped up again in the forums although not the exactly the same as jokiz's experience, this one could really give you hours of head scratching.

The DB itself was not that big (5GB), however restoring it was taking alot of time. Normally I wouldn't worry about it, but I was on time constraints and the Establishment is working...

I often copy several OSS projects that I have checked out from their public Subversion repository, back at home so that I have the "bleeding edge" source when working.

Here are some tips on using Lutz Roeder's Reflector that some of you might not yet know. Enclose search parameters with quotes for exact match. Use AssemblyList for sets of assemblies (I currently have .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, CSLA 1.1, CSLA 2.0, NHibernate, NUnit, MbUnit, Infragistics) Analyzer rocks! I...

I'm sure most of you have noticed when you press Alt+F4 while in an MS Office window, or click the X button in the upper right window of an Office document, it tries to close all instances of that Office application. If you have a number of word documents opened and you just want to close one of the...
