9 days ago dink.no-ip.info — RadPop is a free Caller ID monitor for on your windows computer. Apparently no one dug a Web Monitor so I found a more practical use for a very cool pop-up. I have added Caller ID monitoring to the RadPop application. There are plenty of additionally things I can think to add to this application but the really cool thing was I deployed this with one click deploy. So if anyone did install my application once they rerun the application the new revision will be installed automatically.

These apply directly to modern software development. Not sure if this one is on topic - it's about general software engineering. read more...

9 months, 18 days ago softscenario.blogspot.com — Just starting off with LINQ, I've already found a strange behavior. In my SP, I have to select some blank columns, that used to exist in the table. Now, they're only there to stop old apps from crashing:
Select '' as inst from footable
This made Linq return only a cryptic error message:
System.FormatException: String must be exactly one character long.
at System.Data.Linq.DBConvert.ChangeType(Object obj, Type type)
But when I replaced the '' in the SP with a ' ' (that is, added a blank space) - everything works. So it looks as if Linq is trying to type every column in the result, and if it's empty, it dies.
Oh, and if you have a variable named @@foo in your script - I don't know why it was called @@foo, it just was - Linq will not be able to run it! It presumes that all variables are named @foo, which probably is the correct SQL, by the way. But - the error message, again, is not so helpful: The procedure expects the parameter "foo", which was not provided. read more...

9 months, 18 days ago softscenario.blogspot.com — When writing code that makes use of alot of unmanaged memory resources, all objects should be disposed of before exiting methods and such. The keyword using is often forgotten, and also sometimes seen as messy. example:
using (Bitmap bitmap1 = new Bitmap(100, 100))
{
Console.WriteLine("Width:{0}, Height:{1}", bitmap1.Width, bitmap1.Height);
}
should basically be the same as
Bitmap bitmap1 = new Bitmap(100, 100)
Console.WriteLine("Width:{0}, Height:{1}", bitmap1.Width, bitmap1.Height);
bitmap1.Dispose();
shouldn't it?
No, not really... The using-clause does a little more than this. Actually, my using-example is equivalent to the following block of code.
Bitmap bitmap1 = new Bitmap(100, 100);
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Width:{0}, Height:{1}", bitmap1.Width, Bitmap1.Height);
}
finally
{
if (bitmap1 != null)
{
bitmap1.Dispose();
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
Imagine writing nested using-clauses, and try writing the expanded code for that :)
Using using really cleans up your code, and your memory. So use it!
Edit: Oh, as Stian commented. Using should be used for all objects that implements the IDisposable interface. But remember - if you plan on implementing this interface on your own classes, you need to make sure it fully implements all the necessary methods for cleaning up. Otherwise it will all be to waste :) read more...
