So here's whats up,
I am a Bench Technician for an IT company. I find myself repeating the same task over and over when preforming system reloads. I want to write an application where I have all the programs for a reload in one spot, and call them by a button click event. I have tried adding them into the Resources and calling them by Environment.CurrentDirectory+"\Path" to no avail, I get " System cannot find the file specified. When the path is hard coded it works like a charm, but this will obviously not do as it needs to be able to move to any system. I am looking for a way to add the exe's I need and a generic way to call the path. I am not looking for handouts here, I have done my homework on this one and still not found a solution, If I could get someone to -point me in the right direction, it would be awesome.
Since what you have already tried is much saner and easier for the average user to work with than having the files embedded in another executable, I'll explain that method.
CurrentDirectory is where your executable is executed from, Like this:
C:\MyDir> MyOtherDir\MyProgram.exe
CurrentDirectory refers to C:\MyDir in this example.
What you need is the application directory; and according to top answer of this question the most reliable way to get that is using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
EDIT: Also consider using Path.DirectorySeparatorChar instead of \.

SUMMARY:
I need the most efficient workflow to individually edit over 200 files, and have them automatically disappear from the search results as they are updated.
DETAILS:
I am in the process of adding logging throughout a legacy system, and need to update over 200 files, each with their own custom code. I need to edit them one by one, and would like for the updated files to automatically disappear from my working search results after I have completed each one. The idea is to know how many and which ones still need to be updated as I slowly work through them all.
I already had to do something similar a few months ago, but on a much smaller scale, and I used an old-school HACK to do it. I did a search and replace for my keyword, and intentionally misspelled it. I then used the misspelled keyword for my search, and corrected it when editing each file, hence automatically removing it from the list. It "works", but is obviously a TOTAL HACK.
I recently started using IntelliJ IDEA, and am not yet familiar with the more advanced features like Find in File Scopes, Search Structurally, Search Templates, etc., but I am sure there HAS to be a "correct" way to do this in IntelliJ, and I just don't know how.
I am currently using "Find in Files" to work through the list, and recently found "All Changed Files" in the Scope list, which is actually the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I need. Is there a way to show "All UNCHANGED Files"??? That would work PERFECTLY in a pinch! But really, I would rather learn the CORRECT way to do this in IntelliJ.
Thanks!
I maintain an old vb.net project that I didn't make and I was wondering if there's an easy way to determine which parts of the software is still used today by the staff where I work.
I would like to log all function calls without having to edit each one of them if possible.
The project has 27 forms and 6 modules.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
There is no way to 100% determine everything that is used by the system. Vb.Net supports dynamic invocation of methods / properties. Hence you can't even do tricks like delete some code and see if it recompiles. Even if it compiles it could be invoked dynamically.
One way to get a sense of what code is used is to profile the application. Start up the profiler, run the app and go through all of the ways in which the app is used. The resulting profile should give you a good sense of what parts are used. It's very possible though this approach will miss code though
I'm trying to get DOH testing working for my company's upcoming platform, but I can't figure out the right combination of paths. Our file structure looks like this:
/dojo15
/release
/dojo
/dojo
dojo.js
dojoExt.js
/dojo
dojo.js
/util
/doh
/js
mainLib.js
/tests
base.js
This was created by our contractors, so unfortunately there are some things I have to figure out as I'm going along.
The "release" directory is what is used on our pages.
The "util" directory doesn't exist in our release directory. (I'd like to avoid having to make a copy of it there.)
I'm not entirely sure what they did with dojoExt.js there, but it seems to be required. I was able to make a simple "hello world" sort of test, but once I did dojo.require(js.mainLib), I got an error that dojo.behavior.add is not a method. So it seems to be they made a stripped-down dojo.js and put other required code in dojoExt.js.
My guess is that DOH is using the dojo in dojo15/dojo, but I need to include dojo15/release/dojo/dojo/dojoExt.js. I've tried every combination of dojoUrl, testModule, registerModulePath I can think of...also saw "boot" and "path" from other SE questions, even though I can't see in runner.html where they would even be used, but I tried throwing them in to see if they'd magically help anyway.
At the moment I don't really have the option to move code around, so I'm hoping to work this out with files where they currently are.
Did you try the bits I suggested over at a related question? We use the bits I detailed there to pull together a completely custom layout of dojo + util. Take a look at both boot and dojoUrl. I think it's runner.js that does most of the cunning stuff, rather than runner.html.
Is the problem that you can't arrange for dojoExt.js to get loaded? How does your other code arrange for it to get loaded? Is tests/base.js your test module?
The project I'm working on requires me to adapt the size of the elements on screen according to per-user setting. We're using Twitter bootstrap, so my first idea was to toy with the #basefont value, and it seems to do the trick.
However, I don't know how to access the user setting from the .less file. I tried using erb with .less.erb, but it looks like I don't have access to any code in my application.
Is there a way to get the value I'm looking for from the .less file, or - even better - a proper way to do this ?
Thanks for your time.
EDIT
Since I need to get the value at runtime, the way I tried won't work anyway, though I'm still interested on an answer. The only way I see to do what I want is to add a class according to the user setting. Again, I'd be glad to have alternatives.
I opted for css3 transform (and vendors implementation) property. It does the job, but seems to hit the GPU quite a lot. So still open to other answers. :)
Cloud App has this neat feature wherein it automatically uploads new screenshots as they are added to the Desktop. Any ideas how this is done?
You can do similar things yourself without much in the way of programming. In OSX, you can configure "Folder Actions" to run a script, for example, when a new item appears in a folder, including the Desktop. You can then use the script to do whatever you want with the new files.
This article at TUAW includes an example of uploading files to a web server when they hit a particular folder.
So, basically, the answer is "Folder Actions", or "something's keeping an eye on the folder and sending notifications", at some level. Whether Cloud App uses Folder Actions or watches the folder itself at a lower level, using FSEvents/NSWorkspace, or the kqueue mechanisms (for which there's a nice wrapper class called UKKQueue, if I remember correctly -- don't know how current my knowledge is on that one though!) is another matter...
You could implement this at several different levels, depending on the outcome you want, how you want to design whatever it is you're actually doing, and even what kind of filesystem you're targeting. Fundamentally, in Cocoa/Objective C, I think you probably want to start looking at FSEvents.
Once you've got notifications of the file changes, I'd probably use something like ConnectionKit to do the uploading -- any library at all, really, that means you don't have to bother with the sockets level yourself -- but again, there's a lot of different ways.
Depends, really, what level you're looking to solve the problem at, and whether you want to build something for other people or get something working for yourself. If I just wanted to bash something together for myself, I could probably have something cobbled together using Coda's Transmit app, and Folder Actions, or maybe Hazel, and a minimal bit of Applescript, in a half-hour at most, that would do the job well enough for me...
I am not sure what you are asking for exactly. If you are asking for a way to take a screenshot programmatically in MacOSX, I suggest you have a look at the "screencapture" command (in the terminal, type "man screencapture" for doc).
If you want to do it the "hard" way, you should look at this.
