FxCop has a rule (CA1726) that checks for preferred terms. This looks for words like "Dont" and tells you to replace them with better words like "Do not". Generally this is fine, however one of the terms it objects to is "Flag". At our firm, the business deals with Flags meaning those cloth things at the end of flagpoles. Suppressing this rule each time is becoming a pain. Does anyone know a way to get this rule to work on everything except "Flag"?
Note: I know I can turn the rule off completly, but I don't want to do that. I just want to turn off part of the rule.
I have answered my own question.
It turns out that the list of preferred terms is listed in the CustomDictionary.xml file that is in the FxCop install directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.36\CustomDictionary.xml). There is a section <Dictionary><Words><Deprecated> that contains a number of <Term> elements. Simply removing the ones I don't want has done the trick.

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 have posted on this before, but couldn't find a simple example. Here's one. I had some code commented out. Part if it was a comment. I used un-comment to turn the code back on for testing. And so this...
'check to see if this is a "simple" struct that has only basic types inside, not additional embedded type 5's
Turned into this...
check to see if this Is a "simple" struct that has only basic types inside, Not additional embedded type 5's
Look at the Is and Not. This isn't happening on all keywords, it appears that it's primarily Linq related terms get re-camel cased - Is, On, Where etc. And that's weird, because I don't have or use Linq in any of my projects.
This is annoying, but what is actually damaging is when this happens inside quotes. Let's say you had something like this...
'this is a "really long comment that I want to split into two lines"
Now I place my cursor in front of, say, "I" and hit return. This produces a second line with a trailing quote. Now every keyword in the entire file from that point on is re-cased, because there's an open quote confusing VS. Now my git diff is basically screwed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be happening and how to turn it off?
The re-casing of keywords is a feature of "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code". This feature was less aggressive in VS versions earlier then VS2015 and did not run un-commenting a line.
To disable it go to:
Tools Menu->Options->Text Editor->Basic-> Advanced-> Editor help section
and uncheck "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code".
I honestly can't even find anything like this anywhere on the internet, seems kind of like an obvious feature that is missing.
Basically, I'd like the compiler to check the names of every local variable and cause a build to fail if certain variable names are used. Just as an example, I'd like the build to fail if someone tries to use "x" as a variable for anything.
I get that determined folks would find a ways around it, but I'd like to see if it could be done.
I'm interested more in hearing if this can be done in Visual Studio since that's just what I use the most, but I'd be interesting in hearing about any kind of feature like this for any language / compiler if you know of one.
Can image resizer output image paths that don't contain query strings? Could not find this anywhere in documentation or googling it.
This page (http://imageresizing.net/docs/extend/extending) says that custom plugins can "Perform URL rewriting or query string expansion by registering an event handler."
Is there such a plugin, ready to be used? If so, anyone have a link?
FolderResizeSyntax is one such plugin (which simply adds and event handler to Config.Current.Pipeline.Rewrite), but you probably shouldn't use it.
Ask yourself: Why does pingdom say to remove query strings? Does it even make sense? Is there any logic behind the rule?
Query strings are often added to static resources as cache breakers and for development purposes; often they're forgotten and make it into production.
In the case of ImageResizer, they're an essential, meaningful part of the URL. Rewriting consistent name/value pairs (the querystring) into a custom URL syntax might be trendy and hip, but it adds brittleness and complexity for no actual added value.
If you have a real-world, known issues with querystrings, try the CloudFront plugin. It lets you express querystrings as image.jpg;width=100;height=100 instead of image.jpg?width=100&height=100. You still lose compatibility with all kinds of RIAPI-compliant front-end and back-end tooling, so make sure this is a real, not theoretical, issue.
I am trying to trim the leading "the" in a query that returns the titles of articles in Joomla, so that results are displayed in alphabetical order and the leading "the", if present, is disregarded. The module responsible for this is the Article Category (which is Joomla core module) and the file I think I should modify is helper.php in modules/mod_articles_category.
I replace the following line:
$articles->setState('list.direction', $params->get('article_ordering_direction',
'ASC'));
With this:
$articles->setState('list.direction', $params->get('article_ordering_direction',
'TRIM(LEADING \'THE \' FROM a.title) ASC'));
However, if I enable the debug mode, the TRIM is not showing. SO I guess, that I need to make the change somewhere else. Sorry but I am not familiar with Joomla so don't really know where this query is coming from. Any pointer is very much appreciated.
Okay, the short answer is no, I don't believe you can modify a query from a module, just like this. I haven't worked with modules, but I have some experience with components, so I would suggest two approaches:
Try to query the database yourself from the module, not by using setState, but building the query yourself.
You can cheat. Since Joomla has already done the heavy lifting for you, you could just manipulate the result object (i.e. $list) rearranging it and stripping off whatever you don't want. I would also suggest that you treat your code as a layout override, that way you'll be able to update your site without overriding the changes you have made.
