I am looking for a STABLE FTP library for Compact Framework. I would prefer a library where I don't have to fix or step through any code, but just use as is.
While the free OpenCf.FTP is great, I think it is at this point creating more work for me than my actual coding and I am afraid I don't have time allotted for this.
Any libs you guys have had experience with? Good/bad?
Our Rebex FTP/SSL supports .NET CF since 2006. It shares the codebase with Rebex FTP which is maintained since 2004. I guess it is probable quite stable - for example Microsoft licensed this FTP/SSL component and is using it in Visual Studio 2010 for web deployment. Source code available.
Xceed also has a solid FTP library for .NET CF.
Check out IP*Works from \n Software. Solid and well supported.
What i find the most bizarre about CF is that it lacks FTP functionality. I mean it is a framework for MOBILE apps for God's sake. Perhaps someone from MS could enlighten me on why file transfer functionality is missing from mobile apps framework.
I am sure someone will come with some long and smart sounding explanation. Knock yourself out, it still makes no sense at all.

I am looking into ways of documenting my code in a JavaDocs kinda way.
Any ideas?
I use UFT 11.52
So far I have seen NaturalDocs + Perl.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
At least one solution looks
practical,
mature,
is delivered in source code form (consists of one huge (but very professionally written) VBS script that generates the documentation fragments),
and is absolutely free:
VBSdoc, "A VBScript API Documentation Generator"
See http://www.planetcobalt.net/sdb/vbsdoc.shtml.
The author appears to be very competent, given his high SO rep (see https://stackoverflow.com/users/1630171/ansgar-wiechers), and the general quality of his website's content.
Of course, this one is built for standalone VBS scripts, not QTP/UFT scripts. But this should be no obstacle, given the source code is available.
I'd love to hear from you about experiences with this one. Feel free to edit them into this answer, be it accepted or not.
I had success using Natural Docs several years ago. It's one of the few things I blogged about: automated code documentation for QTP
There is a product called Test Design Studio, an IDE alternative for QuickTest and UFT. One of the key features it provides is the ability to generate detailed documentation. It uses XML-style comments to mark up your code, and those comments drive documentation. The same comments also drive detailed IntelliSense for editing your code.
It does exactly what you're talking about.

What are the best free uml drawing tools?
All the ones I have found require membership payments and only offer limited functionality based to public users on a trial basis...rubbish!
For my (very simple) needs I used ArgoUML. I'm not an expert about, but I found it enough easy to use. It's open source and, on the web page, you can find a good user guide.
Have a look at StarUML ( http://staruml.sourceforge.net/en/ )
It's free, open source, and incredibly fully featured.
For a full list, check out the ones marked as Open Source here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools
But I'd really recommend StarUML!
For my first two software engineering courses, I used the stand alone version of UMLet, but it is just for diagrams. It exports to standard graphics, or pdf. They also have an eclipse plugin version, but I never used it.
For a no frill drawing tool, I find Google Docs (drawings) pretty good. Note that printing works better under Mozilla than Chrome, strangely enough. In Chrome, I cannot get dashed lines to print.
Try UMLet. Supports Eclipse IDE.

I need to develop a small Flex application that needs to access a MySQL database. Since I have little experience in server-side Java, PHP programming I would prefer to use a library/framework that allows me to write SQL queries in ActionScript/MXML.
After a bit of research, I have come across two 3rd party libraries, AS3FlexDB(free) and Adobe Flex Connector for MySQL(45$). Initial tests with AS3FlexDB are promising, but I'm a bit afraid that I'll start to work on the project only to find out that I need a full-fledged back-end after all.
Do any of you have experience with these tools? If so, are they stable enough for production? Are there any such libraries for other relational databases(PostgreSQL in particular)?
Thank you!
Lawrence
this and CRUD like this and read this
AS SQL Lib and another one CRUD
and final happiness
Flex is a UI Framework and is not designed for database interaction. I strongly recommend you reconsider the approach and learn a server side language. You'll thank yourself in the long run.
that said, another option is FlexSQL. This is the first time I've heard of the two you mentioned.
I have no idea why people keep building these libraries. It's like trying to use a screwdriver and nails together. It is, in theory possible but better tools exist.
I agree that server-side db interaction is the way to go, but nobody has mentioned the possibility of web services. Use this article to create a number of web services that your flex client can connect to directly.

I've seen similar questions but I'm not limiting myself to any particular type, I just want to have a wide swath I can look at. They can be oriented towards ASP.net or not. I know Visual Basic.net already, but haven't started to write any actual real pieces of software yet (I have written my own web sites from scratch though).
Please also say WHY you believe it is some good source to follow.
I'd say that
DotNetNuke
is a fairly sizable and mature project specifically written in VB.NET.
It's a good one to look at as it's quite a large project, has been around for quite some time, and has a reasonably good architecture to it as well as having a good module/plugin system (to allow other developers to produce plugins for DotNetNuke in any .NET language).
In fact, it's probably the only "enterprise CMS" system written in .NET that's been done in VB.NET rather than C#.
Check out the website, and specifically the sections under "DotNetNuke Architecture" for other benefits.
You could see if the Paint.Net source code is still available. It's more C# than VB AFAIK, would be definitely a great place to look for an experienced .NET coder.

I am interested in moving a number of my projects from Visual Studio and Access/Office Basic with a SQL back-end to the Linux world.
Are there any utilities available to move code over to a similar platform on Linux?
Here's a link to the Mono Migration Analyzer to get started. It will help you pinpoint Microsoft specific calls, but you'll probably have to do the db conversion and data access layer manually. You may be surprised - mono does have a System.Data.SqlClient namespace so you may not have much work to do.
OpenOffice has a Basic interpreter which is largely compatible with VBA. This may help you with your Access applications. The OpenOffice versions should run on both Windows and Linux.
There are some flavours of OpenOffice that include native support for VBA. The version included with Ubuntu is one example, and the Novell version for Windows is another. For more details and a list of versions with this feature, see this article on linux.com.
They don't support all features of VBA, but they will reduce your conversion effort.
