Eclipse has CVS version control integrated. It is nifty but some watch out to be careful of. 1. Always Refresh your project/ whole thing in the project view before performing Team - Synchronize With Repository or else you would not see your changes during synchronization and causing your changes GONE if you choose to update the files thinking your side have no changes!!! 2. Always use synchronize to check the changes. NEVER use the update (to overwrite local file with changes from server) or commit (to overwrite server/remote files with local file changes) to a folder directly. You would cause either server version get overwritten by your version if there are additional changes by others or your version get overwritten by server copy without doing the conflict checking and merge. 3. If you have already merged the changes (by comparing remote file and local file and use move change facility), your side with the server. Select ‘mark as merge’ and then commit.

This is using XML feature of the SQL server. (nothing new here) select Type, RestaurantNames from Restaurant AS A CROSS APPLY (SELECT RestaurantName + ',' FROM Restaurant AS B WHERE A.Type = B.Type FOR XML PATH('')) D (RestaurantNames) GROUP BY Type, RestaurantNames This is to get something like below (similar to MYSQL GROUP_CONCAT) Type |RestaurantNames ----- --------------- Chinese Food | Ah Yat Abalone, Liang Yah Yong Tau Foo, Indian Food | Kanna Curry House, Western Fast Food | Burger King, McDonald instead of multiple rows. like Type |RestaurantName ----- --------------- Chinese Food |Ah Yat Abalone Chinese Food |Liang Yah Yong Tau Foo Indian Food |Kanna Curry House

The purpose is to just prune the string and add ... at the end when certain size of the string in xsl output exceeded. This method do not burden CPU much. (as some using recursive ways do) <!-- include this into XSL stylesheet --> <xsl:template name="fixed-string"> <xsl:param name="targetVar"> <xsl:param name="allowable-length"> <xsl:value-of select="substring($targetVar, 1, $allowable-length)"> <xsl:if test="string-length($targetVar) & gt ; $allowable-length"> <xsl:text>...</xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:value-of></xsl:param></xsl:param></xsl:template> To use it, just <xsl:call-template name="fixed-string"> <xsl:with-param name="targetVar">'<xsl:value-of select="MyContent">'</xsl:value-of> <xsl:with-param name="allowable-length" select="15"> <!-- say, limited to 15 char

I am sure there should have some neater ways to do this but if all you need are just working version, here it goes. T-SQL REPLICATE('0', 8 - LEN(LTRIM(STR(YourTableField)))) + LTRIM(STR(YourTableField)) Crystal Report Formula StringVar Message := ""; StringVar Num := {YourCrystalReportTable.Field}; Num := Trim (Num); NumberVar Counter := 8 - Length(Num) ; While (Counter > 0) do ( Message := Message & "0"; Counter := Counter - 1; ); Message := Message & Num

Same codes except placing static variable static WorkflowRuntime wr = new WorkflowRuntime(); in Application_Start of global.asax then (quoted from MSLearning) If you use the WorkflowWebRequestContext object to access the workflow runtime, you cannot add services such as persistence or scheduling services because the workflow is already started. If you try to add services to the runtime when it has already started it will generate an error. Instead, to configure the runtime with services, use the <workflowRuntime> section in the Web.config file: [Web.config] <configuration> <configSections> <section name="WorkflowRuntime" type="WorkflowRuntimeSection, System.Workflow.Runtime" /> </configSections> </configuration>

Add reference to - System.Workflow.Activities - System.Workflow.Runtime - System.Workflow.ComponentModel - <the MyWorkflow assembly> in the WinForm codes, add member variable WorkflowRuntime myWorkflowRuntime = new WorkflowRuntime() Then, in the constructor of the winform. //setup event handler myWorkflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted += new EventHandler<WorkflowCompletedEventArg>(wr_WFCompleted); myWorkflowRuntime.WorkflowTerminated += new EventHandler<WorkflowTerminatedEventArg>(wr_WFTerminated); //handler for the workflow thread. void wr_WFCompleted(object sender, WorkflowCompletedEventArg e) { MessageBox.Show("Workflow output" + e.OutputParameters["Field"].ToString()); } //to kick start the work flow thread.

pmap To check the memory address mapping of the core dumped process. e.g. 036AA000 2592k [heap] So, it means 036AA000 and above is heap address. FFB3A000 [stack] And likewise. Also can be used to check shared memory, shared libraries used and etc. truss -d -o -p System API trace. gcore - o Force core dump Use dbx later to investigate the core file. pstack call stack. ps -ef getting running process PID. Monitor system log file. tail -f /var/adm/SYSLOG tail -f /var/adm/messages tail -f /var/log/syslog ls -l /proc/ /as ps -p -o pmem,vsz,osz,rss,pid To check memory usage. pldd check dependencies pargs check all arguments passed to process. Note: arg[0] is always the process execution path like even Win32. Useful also if the ls -l return truncated path.

Before you start, make sure you have added reference to System.Configuration.dll for .NET 2.0. I think the default the Visual Studio C# Express referenced to is from .NET 1.1 which will not compile. using System.Configuration; using System.Collections.Specialized; //to write System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); config.AppSettings.Settings.Remove("myKey"); config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("myKey", "123"); config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified); ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings"); //to read NameValueCollection appSettings = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings; string strRead = (string)appSettings["myKey"]; Content of app.config <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="myKey" value = "123"/> </appSettings&g

I am so used to source safe recursive check in and found troublesome in clearcase having to do it manually one by one. This is the Unix script that I have come out with //for undo check out all the checked out files cleartool lsco -cview -avobs | cleartool unco -rm `awk '{ print $(5) }' | sed -e 's/^\"*//' -e 's/ *\"$//'` //for check in all the checked out files cleartool lsco -cview -avobs | cleartool ci -nc `awk '{ print $(5) }' | sed -e 's/^\"*//' -e 's/ *\"$//'` //Using xargs cleartool lsco -cview -avobs -short | xargs cleartool ci

The code is not coded in a standard way where it would altogether avoid the problem but does exhibit the recover from C++ istream failure which occur in a while loop. void main_menu(){ int condition = 1; int input = 0; do { cout << "please input an integer\n"; if(cin.fail()) { //if it encounter a fail state which is error type. it will ignore the buffer //associate with istream cin.ignore(100); cin.clear(); //reset the fail state to be good } cin >> input; fflush(stdin); //fflush alone not suffice for some reason thou it works on scanf if (input == 1) { cout << "Hello World\n"; condition=0; system("Pause"); } else { condition=1; } } while (condition == 1 ); }

Firsly, install Cygwin with XServer. Then, start your xserver in the cygwin bash shell by typing "startx &" so that you will have an additional xterm for configuration or xwin -broadcast to start a broadcast XDMCP session instead. Then, after started xserver, it will pop a xwindow client. In your xwindow client (normally xterm), authenticate (if required) any client that attempt to connect to your server by typing in xhost + < IP / hostname > (note: if hostname unresolved, add it in at /usr/hosts. Also to identify if your client having authentication problem. Normally, your client will get error message like authentication error - Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key ) Then, you would need to configure your putty session so that it would forward X11 to Xserver, this can be done so by going to Connection - SSH - X11- Tick Enable X11 Forwarding And key in X-Display Location as "localhost:0" (note, assuming your xserver is running at localhost) Then, start
