Note: since I added a reference to NPlot in SHFB the XMLDoc's are reported as missing, I am working to resolve this.

IT services giant CSC Australia is on the hunt for project managers and C++ programmers as it moves to double its 120-strong workforce in South Australia by 2013.

I am using this tools from past few months.

The features that i like:

1. Orphaned code detection : It colors out the orphaned code (variables, methods) that is not being used for the app. This is very useful in detecting missing code implementation errors.
2. Coding Assistance: It automatically writes some code for you like the parenthesis, brackets etc
3. Code Refactoring: i love this feature, This is a very quick way to refactor your code and to generate the new refactored methods. This automatically generates a new method with the required signature.
4. Unit Testing : You can run, debug your unit tests from the code window, also it supports running of individual test, test suites in a seperate window.
5. Supports C# and VB.Net code.

Disadvantages:

1. increases your project load times.
2. Current release version 3.1 doesnt support VS 2008 features but version 4.0 will support it. 

There are much more features to try with the trial version on the site.

My oldest active Suggestion Box question (from Stef) is:

Hey, I'm a IT Student and at home i work alot with access.

'i work alot with' means that i made 3 db's projects that are 'Finished'.

Now working on the fourth i'm getting smarter and better,...

I learnt to split my db, but this last thing realy bite me

I'm having huge problems updating my older be version to a newer be version.

I know that you will say now use the Sync method!!! of the replica object...

But the 2 db's one of the costumer and my own are not linked in any way, I can only walk to the place and insert my usb drive. and your website sais don't use it when your moving your db around since it will create another replica wich is very bad. So i didn't use it.

Now, what would be the best way to update my backend with let's say 1 new table and 5 new fields in that table and 100 rows of data on the older db all have to be transported to my new version automaticely with the push of a button.

aren't computers made for this? :d

Sorry it took so long to get to this one, Stef. It is just that I am a lot of years out of Jet replication work (my last active development project that used replication was at least eight years ago). :-)

But there are many problems with using Jet replication for this scenario....

The problem you were hitting with removable storage? That's the old illegal move/copy problem wth replicas.

Add to that Microsoft has never gone out of its way to get behind the technology at all (and now in Access 2007 Microsoft uses their new fike format option to disallow replication -- a definite indication that they want to de-emphasize it even further!

Anyway, I usually point people to solutions like Tony Toews and his Auto FE Updater and/or Bob Laraon and his Auto Updater for Backend Databases, instead. :-)

In other news -- Limonata and Fruity Cheerios: yet another great combination (and good for you, too!).

Basic Calendar Control of ASP.NET 2.0 can be extended to cater one of most frequent requirement of tracking events, project milestones, history, schedule etc.

So when you start working with .NET a lot, you will find out quickly that there are some things that you just can't do in .NET and you will need to drop back down to the Win32 API to do something.  When you need to do that, you pinvoke the function Read More......(read more)

I have QuickTime installed on my PC. I just noticed that Apple is now trying to get users to download Safari using their Apple Software Update software. It's checked by default but as you can see from the photo below, I decided not to install it. It's interesting that they're trying to force it down to user's. 

Here is another piece of our large Silverlight 2.0 application. Before I write anything more, I want to mention Lisa Malenfant. She has been a tremendous help and did all of the mathematical calculations.

We managed to twist the arms of Angus Logan and Arturo Toledo to join us for ReMIX Australia in both Sydney and Melbourne - ok, so it didn't take much to convince Angus, who left his role as Portals Technical Specialist in Microsoft Australia last year to join the team in Redmond as a Senior Product Manager for the Windows Live Platform.  Arturo was equally keen to see if he can repeat his popularity at MIX in Vegas at ReMIX Australia (his session was reportedly the most popular in the Designer track..!).  I think he's also keen to take in a few Ozzie sites and experiences so, feel free to make some suggestions on his blog! 

So, what are they going to talk about at ReMIX Australia?  Angus will talk about the Windows Live Platform and how to grow your audience through deeper engagement.  He will show you how to get started and be successful in building rich services using compelling tools and easy to understand terms.

Arturo who is Designer Readiness Product Manager in Redmond will address the top questions Designers have when learning Silverlight and WPF. It's going to be a fun session which shows you how to get the best out of Expression Design and Blend to create XAML based experiences.  Whether you are a Visual Studio Developer or a Flash Designer, you are bound to get a lot out of what Arturo has to share! 

ShaneMo and Michael Kordahi will have the details of these and other sessions on the ReMIX Australia site when it goes live on 7th April and will be available to answer any questions you have about the session content and speakers from that date on.

So, I hope you have marked ReMIX Sydney (20 May) or Melbourne (22 May) in your calendars and organised a day away from the office - the registration site is still on track to go live on April 7th so, hang in there until then.  Fin :-)

As always, feel free to drop me an email at finulac@microsoft.com if you have any questions
