"our temporary 'setarbak' for two and a 'ciputs' day"



hmm.. finally we'd completed the VSTS workshop after being postponed for about .... a month. However final day doesn't include our Chief Executive Developer.. Mr 'Borat' (hehe).. after having some 'mechanical' problems with his beloved motogp lookalike bike. Hope you and your beast are OK dude.

More workshop detail, soon...

browserCaps setting at web.config : All you need to view a nice asp.net application in Firefox?


"..which one you'll choose : IE7 or Cerie.. err I mean firefox?"

Sounds catchy huh... of course didn't solve most of your problems, but hey... worth a try la macha. Stumbled here while looking for awesome quickie solution to enable current ASP.NET apps to 'look and feel' as kicking as viewed on Internet Explorer 7. (sadly... IE6 also didn't do well).

Link above provide sample of web.config and machine.config example to somewhat make your asp.net application recognizes those Mozilla based, Opera, and what not 'other' browser than IE, treated as 'uplevel' browsers. hehehe... what the '#$%$'. (i believe there is top-secret project behind it) ..doncha see?

xhtml anyone? ..or you dudes have extra-ordinary kinda solution to churn out here?

some recommendation...

FYI: Rather than putting that section in your web.config, I recommend maintaining browscap info in your machine.config.

C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\CONFIG\machine.config

if you check your current machine.config you will notice that this is where the current browser mappings are held. By putting it in the web.config you are merely overriding these settings for your 1 app.

This can be useful for control-library developers, but for GP I would recommend deferring to machine.config maintenance instead.

Lance

Let They Count it For You : Line of Code (LOC) counter

Unless you are a real superhuman that can count seamlessly across any given numbers,algorithms and what not... these tools are there for you to exploit. One is from the Visual Studio creator itself, Microsoft's Line Of Code Counter tool and the other one is from LOCMetrics.

Both capable of doing the countjob for you (of course) but I prefer the tool from M$ much much more because it offer more awesome features which you can dig more here.Complete with webcast and ppt files. This flexible 32-bit program also can be used as a stand-alone client or as a Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) add-in. Choose your preferred channel dudes!

This tool is a fast and easy-to-use code counting tool that contains an algorithm to estimate defects.Project managers and developers at Microsoft IT use this tool to obtain uniform and detailed software development metrics.


Some of the feat.. :-


* It handles many different programming languages.
* It performs many different kinds of code counts.
* It handles comments, system-generated code, blank lines, and code churn.
* It connects to many different repositories.
* It provides an estimated defect density that is based on code churn.
* It is customizable. A user can change the kinds of objects that are counted during a counting task.
* It generates detailed reports. In addition, a user can export the report information to a Microsoft Office Excel® worksheet or to a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
* It is fast. The tool can parse 10 million lines of code in less than one hour.


Maybe you had experience with greater tools or program that you can share it here? Let's churn it out mate!
