I'm writing an app to help facilitate some research, and part of this involves doing some statistical calculations. Right now, the researchers are using a program called [SPSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spss). Part of the output that they care about looks like this:  They're really only concerned about the `F` and `Sig.` values. My problem is that I have no background in statistics, and I can't figure out what the tests are called, or how to calculate them. I thought the `F` value might be the result of the [F-test](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-test#Table_on_F-test), but after following the steps given on Wikipedia, I got a result that was different from what `SPSS` gives.

How do I calculate these statistics?

I'm tired of opening Dia and creating a database diagram at the beginning of every project. Is there a tool out there that will let me select specific tables and then create a database diagram for me based on a MySQL database? Preferably it would allow me to edit the diagram afterward since none of the foreign keys are set... Here is what I am picturing diagram-wise (please excuse the horrible data design, I didn't design it. Let's focus on the diagram concept and not on the actual data it represents for this example ;) ):  [see full size diagram](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZnN2O.png)

If you've ever used Eclipse, you've probably noticed the great keyboard shortcuts that let you hit a shortcut key combination, then just type the first few characters of a function, class, filename, etc. It's even smart enough to put open files first in the list.  I'm looking for a similar functionality for Visual Studio 2008. I know there's a findfiles plugin on codeproject, but that one is buggy and a little weird, and doesn't give me access to functions or classes.

I'm writing an application that is basically just a preferences dialog, much like the tree-view preferences dialog that Visual Studio itself uses. The function of the application is simply a pass-through for data from a serial device to a file. It performs many, many transformations on the data before writing it to the file, so the GUI for the application is simply all the settings that dictate what those transformations should be. What's the best way to go about designing/coding a tree-view preferences dialog? The way I've been going about it is building the main window with a docked tree control on the left. Then I have been creating container controls that correspond to each node of the tree. When a node is selected, the app brings that node's corresponding container control to the front, moves it to the right position, and maximizes it in the main window. This seems really, really clunky while designing it. It basically means I have tons of container controls beyond the edge of the main window during design time that I have to keep scrolling the main window over to in order to work with them. I don't know if this totally makes sense the way I'm writing this, but maybe this visual for what I'm talking about will make more sense:  Basically I have to work with this huge form, with container controls all over the place, and then do a bunch of run-time reformatting to make it all work. This seems like a of extra work. Am I doing this in a totally stupid way? Is there some "obvious" easier way of doing this that I'm missing?

Is there a trivial, or at least moderately straight-forward way to generate territory maps (e.g. Risk)? I have looked in the past and the best I could find were vague references to Voronoi diagrams. An example of a Voronoi diagram is this: . These hold promise, but I guess i haven't seen any straight-forward ways of rendering these, let alone holding them in some form of data structure to treat each territory as an object. Another approach that holds promise is flood fill, but again I'm unsure on the best way to start with this approach. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm currently working on an internal sales application for the company I work for, and I've got a form that allows the user to change the delivery address. Now I think it would look much nicer, if the textarea I'm using for the main address details would just take up the area of the text in it, and automatically resize if the text was changed. Here's a screenshot of it currently.  Any ideas? --- @Chris A good point, but there are reasons I want it to resize. I want the area it takes up to be the area of the information contained in it. As you can see in the screen shot, if I have a fixed textarea, it takes up a fair wack of vertical space. I can reduce the font, but I need address to be large and readable. Now I can reduce the size of the text area, but then I have problems with people who have an address line that takes 3 or 4 (one takes 5) lines. Needing to have the user use a scrollbar is a major no-no. I guess I should be a bit more specific. I'm after vertical resizing, and the width doesn't matter as much. The only problem that happens with that, is the ISO number (the large "1") gets pushed under the address when the window width is too small (as you can see on the screenshot). It's not about having a gimick; it's about having a text field the user can edit that won't take up unnecessary space, but will show all the text in it. Though if someone comes up with another way to approach the problem I'm open to that too. --- I've modified the code a little because it was acting a little odd. I changed it to activate on keyup, because it wouldn't take into consideration the character that was just typed. ``` resizeIt = function() { var str = $('iso_address').value; var cols = $('iso_address').cols; var linecount = 0; $A(str.split("\n")).each(function(l) { linecount += 1 + Math.floor(l.length / cols); // Take into account long lines }) $('iso_address').rows = linecount; }; ```

It looks like we'll be adding [CAPTCHA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha) support to Stack Overflow. This is necessary to prevent bots, spammers, and other malicious scripted activity. We only want human beings to post or edit things here!

I have written a [traditional CAPTCHA control for ASP.NET](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/custom-controls/CaptchaControl.aspx) which we can re-use.  However, I'd prefer to go with something textual to avoid the overhead of creating all these images on the server with each request.

 I need some advice as to how I easily can separate test runs for unit tests and integration test in Visual Studio. Often, or always, I structure the solution as presented in the above picture: separate projects for unit tests and integration tests. The unit tests is run very frequently while the integration tests naturally is run when the context is correctly aligned. My goal is to somehow be able configure which tests (or test folders) to run when I use a keyboard shortcut. The tests should preferably be run by a graphical test runner (ReSharpers). So for example - - - - TestDriven.net have an option of running just the test in the selected folder or project by right-clicking it and select Run Test(s). Being able to do this, but via a keyboard command and with a graphical test runner would be awesome.  Currently I use VS2008, ReSharper 4 and nUnit. But advice for a setup in the general is of course also appreciated.

How do I run (unit) tests in different folders/projects separately in Visual Studio?

I'm currently writing an ASP.Net app from the UI down. I'm implementing an MVP architecture because I'm sick of Winforms and wanted something that had a better separation of concerns. So with MVP, the Presenter handles events raised by the View. Here's some code that I have in place to deal with the creation of users: ``` public class CreateMemberPresenter { private ICreateMemberView view; private IMemberTasks tasks; public CreateMemberPresenter(ICreateMemberView view) : this(view, new StubMemberTasks()) { } public CreateMemberPresenter(ICreateMemberView view, IMemberTasks tasks) { this.view = view; this.tasks = tasks; HookupEventHandlersTo(view); } private void HookupEventHandlersTo(ICreateMemberView view) { view.CreateMember += delegate { CreateMember(); }; } private void CreateMember() { if (!view.IsValid) return; try { int newUserId; tasks.CreateMember(view.NewMember, out newUserId); view.NewUserCode = newUserId; view.Notify(new NotificationDTO() { Type = NotificationType.Success }); } catch(Exception e) { this.LogA().Message(string.Format("Error Creating User: {0}", e.Message)); view.Notify(new NotificationDTO() { Type = NotificationType.Failure, Message = "There was an error creating a new member" }); } } } ``` I have my main form validation done using the built in .Net Validation Controls, but now I need to verify that the data sufficiently satisfies the criteria for the Service Layer. Let's say the following Service Layer messages can show up: - - - - Let's also say that more rules will be in the service layer that the UI cannot anticipate. Currently I'm having the service layer throw an exception if things didn't go as planned. Is that a sufficent strategy? Does this code smell to you guys? If I wrote a service layer like this would you be annoyed at having to write Presenters that use it in this way? Return codes seem too old school and a bool is just not informative enough. --- > --- Cheekysoft, I like the concept of a ServiceLayerException. I already have a global exception module for the exceptions that I don't anticipate. Do you find making all these custom exceptions tedious? I was thinking that catching base Exception class was a bit smelly but wasn't exactly sure how progress from there. tgmdbm, I like the clever use of the lambda expression there! --- Thanks Cheekysoft for the follow-up. So I'm guessing that would be the strategy if you don't mind the user being displayed a separate page (I'm primarily a web developer) if the Exception is not handled. However, if I want to return the error message in the same view where the user submitted the data that caused the error, I would then have to catch the Exception in the Presenter? Here's what the CreateUserView looks like when the Presenter has handled the ServiceLayerException:  For this kind of error, it's nice to report it to the same view. Anyways, I think we're going beyond the scope of my original question now. I'll play around with what you've posted and if I need further details I'll post a new question.

I'm making a simple extra java app launcher for Eclipse 3.2 (JBuilder 2007-8) for internal use. So I looked up all the documentations related, including this one [The Launching Framework from eclipse.org](http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Launch-Framework/launch.html) and have managed to make everything else working with the exception of the launch shortcut.  This is the part of my plugin.xml. ``` <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts"> <shortcut category="mycompany.javalaunchext.launchConfig" class="mycompany.javalaunchext.LaunchShortcut" description="launchshortcutsdescription" icon="icons/k2mountain.png" id="mycompany.javalaunchext.launchShortcut" label="Java Application Ext." modes="run, debug"> <perspective id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective"> </perspective> <perspective id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaHierarchyPerspective"> </perspective> <perspective id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaBrowsingPerspective"> </perspective> <perspective id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.DebugPerspective"> </perspective> </shortcut> ``` The configuration name in the category section is correct and the class in the class section, i believe, is correctly implemented. (basically copied from org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurations.JavaApplicationLaunchShortcut) --- I'm really not sure if I'm supposed to write a follow-up here but let me clarify my question more. I've extended org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurations.JavaLaunchShortcut. Plus, I've added my own logger to constructors and methods, but the class seems like it's never even instantiating.

I can highlight it and copy/paste it into notepad, where I can see it all -- but in the generated PDF only the first line of the left column of the footer is visible, the rest is invisible.

This is starting to vex me. I recently decided to clear out my FTP, and stumbled across an old Wordpress install I forgot I had (oh yes, very security conscious me). Anyway, for some reason deleting the directory failed so I investigated to see what was causing the blockage and I've narrowed it down to a file in wp-content. Now when I try to delete this file I can get two errors. I've tried in Windowx Explorer () and the Web Control Panel's File Manager. Here's some error shots:   As you can see my File manager thinks the file is a [Symbolic Link](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link). While it scares me that my web server is host to an obviously religoious artifact I'm also heavily confused by the situation. - - - - And I'm at a loss. Is there a special way to delete SymLinks? I've never heard of them, until now. ## edit Oho Windows you really are a magician of sorts. I decided to take a look at my FTP via command prompt and guess what? The file doesn't exist. Whether `ftp` ignores symlinks I don't know but I'm about to give up :P

Which of the following should I use? - [Installation Guide](http://www.howtoforge.com/apc-php5-apache2-debian-etch)- [Installation Guide](http://www.howtoforge.com/eaccelerator_php5_debian_etch)- [Installation Guide](http://www.howtoforge.com/xcache-php5-apache2-debian-etch) I'm also open to any other alternatives that have slipped under my radar. Currently running on a stock Debian Etch with Apache 2 and PHP 5.2 HowtoForge installation links added Based on the answers and feedback given, I have tested all 3 implementations using the following Apache JMeter test plan on my application: - - With 50 concurrent connections, the results are as follows: No Opcode Caching  APC  eAccelerator  XCache  Performance Graph (smaller is better)  From the above results, eAccelerator has a slight edge in performance compared to APC and XCache. However, what matters most from the above data is that any sort of opcode caching gives a tremendous boost in performance. I have decided to use APC due to the following 2 reasons: - - To summarize my experience: Ease of Installation: APC > eAccelerator > XCache Performance: eAccelerator > APC, XCache Control Panel: APC > XCache > eAccelerator

I coded a Mancala game in Java for a college class this past spring, and I used the [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org) IDE to write it. One of the great (and fairly simple) visual aids in Eclipse is if you select a particular token, say a declared variable, then the IDE will automatically highlight all other references to that token on your screen. [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/), my preferred Notepad replacement, also does this. Another neat and similar feature in Eclipse was the vertical "error bar" to the right of your code (not sure what to call it). It display little red boxes for all of the syntax errors in your document, yellow boxes for warnings like "variable declared but not used", and if you select a word, boxes appear in the bar for each occurrence of the word in the document. A screenshot of these features in action:  After a half hour of searching, I've determined that Visual Studio cannot do this on its own, so my question is: does anyone know of any add-ins for 2005 or 2008 that can provide either one of the aforementioned features? Being able to highlight the current line your cursor is on would be nice too. I believe the add-in ReSharper can do this, but I'd prefer to use a free add-in rather than purchase one.

Here is an excerpt from my code: ``` public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { parent.setLayout(new FillLayout()); ScrolledComposite scrollBox = new ScrolledComposite(parent, SWT.V_SCROLL); scrollBox.setExpandHorizontal(true); mParent = new Composite(scrollBox, SWT.NONE); scrollBox.setContent(mParent); FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(); mParent.setLayout(layout); // Adds a bunch of controls here mParent.layout(); mParent.setSize(mParent.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT, true)); } ``` ...but it clips the last button:  bigbrother82: That didn't work. SCdF: I tried your suggestion, and now the scrollbars are gone. I need to work some more on that.

I have a container div with a fixed `width` and `height`, with `overflow: hidden`. I want a horizontal row of float: left divs within this container. Divs which are floated left will naturally push onto the 'line' below after they read the right bound of their parent. This will happen even if the `height` of the parent should not allow this. This is how this looks:  How I would like it to look: ![Right][2] - Note: the effect I want can be achieved by using inline elements & `white-space: no-wrap` (that is how I did it in the image shown). This, however, is no good to me (for reasons too lengthy to explain here), as the child divs need to be floated block level elements.

I'm working on a windows forms application (C#) where a user is entering data in a form. At any point while editing the data in the form the user can click one of the buttons on the form to perform certain actions. By default the focus goes to the clicked button so the user has to click back on to the control they want to edit in order to continue modifying the data on the form. What I need to be able to do is return the focus to the last edited control after the button click event has been processed. Here's a sample screenshot that illustrates what I'm talking about:  The user can be entering data in textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, etc and click the button. I need the button to return the focus back to the control that most recently had the focus before the button was clicked. I'm wondering if anyone has a better way of implementing this functionality than what I've come up with. Here's what I'm doing right now: ``` public partial class Form1 : Form { Control _lastEnteredControl; private void textBox_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e) { _lastEnteredControl = (Control)sender; } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Do something here"); _lastEnteredControl.Focus(); } } ``` So basically what we have here is a class variable that points to the last entered control. Each textbox on the form is setup so the textBox_Enter method is fired when the control receives the focus. Then, when the button is clicked focus is returned to the control that had the focus before the button was clicked. Anybody have any more elegant solutions for this?

How do you return the focus to the last used control after clicking a button in a winform app?

I am creating an application for a Windows Mobile computer. The catch is that the device ([Motorola MC17](http://www.motorola.com/business/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=d4397b103d175110VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD)) does not have a touch screen or universal keys - there are only six programmable hardware keys. [Fitt's law](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law) is not applicable here, most Microsoft guidelines are also moot. For now I'm mimicking Nokia's S60 keyboard layout as close as possible, since it's the most popular phone platform among my target audience.  Are there any guidelines for creating a simple, discoverable user interface on such a constrained device? What fonts and colours should I use to make my UI readable? How do I measure if the items on-screen are big enough? What conventions should I follow?

How can I get an image to stretch the height of a `DIV` class? Currently it looks like this:  However, I would like the `DIV` to be stretched so the `image` fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image. Here is the CSS for the `DIV` (the grey box): ``` .product1 { width: 100%; padding: 5px; margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px; background: #ADA19A; color: #000000; min-height: 100px; } ``` The CSS being applied on the image: ``` .product{ display: inline; float: left; } ``` So, how can I fix this?

Html Textarea elements only wrap when they reach a space or tab character. This is fine, until the user types a looooooooooooooooooooooong enough word. I'm looking for a way to strictly enforce line breaks (eg.: even if it results in "loooooooooooo \n ooooooooooong").  The best I've found is to add a zero-width unicode space after every letter, but this breaks copy and paste operations. Anyone know of a better way? Note: I'm referring to the "textarea" element here (i.e.: the one that behaves similarly to a text input) - not just a plain old block of text.

I've been trying to understand [Process.MainWindowHandle](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.diagnostics.process.mainwindowhandle.aspx). According to MSDN; "The main window is the window that is created when the process is started. After initialization, other windows may be opened, including the Modal and TopLevel windows, but ." (Emphasis added) But while debugging I noticed that MainWindowHandle seemed to change value... which I wasn't expecting, especially after consulting the documentation above. To confirm the behaviour I created a standalone WinForms app with a timer to check the MainWindowHandle of the "DEVENV" (Visual Studio) process every 100ms. Here's the interesting part of this test app... ``` IntPtr oldHWnd = IntPtr.Zero; void GetMainwindowHandle() { Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("DEVENV"); if (processes.Length!=1) return; IntPtr newHWnd = processes[0].MainWindowHandle; if (newHWnd != oldHWnd) { oldHWnd = newHWnd; textBox1.AppendText(processes[0].MainWindowHandle.ToString("X")+"\r\n"); } } private void timer1Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { GetMainwindowHandle(); } ``` You can see the value of MainWindowHandle changing when you (for example) click on a drop-down menu inside VS.  Perhaps I've misunderstood the documentation. Can anyone shed light?

I have played with the idea of using a wiki (MediaWiki) to centralize all project information for a development project. This was done using extensions that pull information from SVN (using [SVNKit](http://svnkit.com/)) and by linking to Bugzilla to extract work assigned to a developer or work remaining for a release. Examples: ``` <bugzilla type="summary" user="[email protected]" /> ``` would return a summary  ``` <bugzilla type="status" status="ASSIGNED" product="SCM BEPPI" /> ``` would return  Do you think that this would be useful? If so then what other integrations would you think would be valuable?

Has anyone implemented Lightbox style background dimming on a modal dialog box in a MFC/non .net app. I think the procedure would have to be something like: steps: 1. Get dialog parent HWND or CWnd* 2. Get the rect of the parent window and draw an overlay with a translucency over that window 3. allow the dialog to do it's modal draw routine, e.g DoModal() Are there any existing libraries/frameworks to do this, or what's the best way to drop a translucent overlay in MFC?

What is the best way to get hosting of an ASP.NET MVC application to work on IIS 5 (6 or 7). When I tried to publish my ASP.NET MVC application, all I seemed to get is 404 errors. I've done a bit of googleing and have found a couple of solutions, but neither seem super elegant, and I worry if they will be unusable once I come to use a shared hosting environment for the application. [Solution 1](http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/dorony/archive/2007/12/15/using-asp-net-mvc-on-iis-5.aspx) > 1. Right-click your application virtual directory on inetmgr.exe. 2. Properties->Virtual Directory Tab-> Configuration. 3. Add a new mapping extension. The extension should be .*, which will be mapped to the Executable C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll, or the appropriate location on your computer (you can simply copy this from the mapping for .aspx files). On the mapping uncheck "check that file exists". 4. 3 X OK and you're good to go. 5. If you want, you can apply this setting to all your web sites. In step1, click on the "Default Web Site" node instead of your own virtual directory, and in step 2 go to the "Home Directory" tab. The rest is the same. It seems a tad hacky to route everything through ASP.NET. [Solutions 2](http://blog.pagedesigners.co.nz/?p=29) Edit the MVC routing to contain .mvc in the URL and then follow the steps in solution 1 based around this extension.

What is the best way to vertically center the content of a div when the height of the content is variable. In my particular case, the height of the container div is fixed, but it would be great if there were a solution that would work in cases where the container has a variable height as well. Also, I would love a solution with no, or very little use of CSS hacks and/or non-semantic markup.

The different coloured text is easy enough, but the ability to do different background colours, such as the yellow background is beyond the capabilities of the standard Flash text. I may also need to be able to enter text at certain places and scroll text up the "terminal". Any idea how I'd attack this? Or better still, any existing code/components for this sort of thing?

I recently came across an IE7 only bug that I thought I'd share so when I come to this site 6 months from now to figure out the same thing, I'll have it on hand. I believe the easiest way to recreate this bug would be the following html in a page with a declared doctype (it works correctly in "quirks mode" / no-doctype): ``` <div style="overflow: auto; height: 150px;"> <div style="position: relative;">[...]</div> </div> ``` In IE7, the outer div is a fixed size and the inner div is relatively positioned and contains more content (assuming the inner div causes an overflow). In all other browsers, this seems to work as expected. Screenshot:

My understanding of the Git pack file format is something like:  Where the table is 32-bits wide, and the first three 32-bit words are the pack file header. The last row of 32 bits are the first 4 bytes of an entry. As I understand it, the size of the entry is specified by consecutive bytes with the MSB set, followed by compressed data. In the first byte whose MSB is not set, is the MSB part of the compressed data, or is it a gap? If it's part of the compressed data, how can you guarantee that when the data is compressed that bit won't be set?

I'm designing a web site navigation hierarchy. It's a tree of nodes. Most nodes are pages. Some nodes are links (think shortcuts in Windows). Most pages hold HTML content. Some execute code. I'd like to represent these as this collection of classes and abstract (MustInherit) classes…  This is the database table where I'm going to store all this… [database table http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8573/nodetablefm8.gif](http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8573/nodetablefm8.gif) Here's where I'm stumped.

## Question I'm wondering how different ExtendScript is from JavaScript? Could I theoretically hire a web developer who has JavaScript savvy to develop it without demanding an excessive amount of learning on their part? ## Overview I'm working on a media database (or a so-called "multimedia library") project and it is based on XMP (the eXtensible Metadata Platform). The logical tool for administering the metadata and keywording seems to be Adobe Bridge, however I need to contract out the development of a couple of scripts to add a few key functions to Bridge, mainly for interfacing with a server-stored controlled keyword vocabulary. Upper management, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that putting a software alpha/beta tester and Adobe heavy-lifter [me] in charge of developing the project discovery is the best way to go about this. Whilst I know what I need done, I'm unsure who can actually do it. Regrettably, my programming knowledge is limited to C++, XML, Apple Script and web languages (unfortunately not including JavaScript), so I'm way out in the weeds when it comes to questions about JavaScript. [Bridge Developer Center](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/bridge/) Adobe has a handy SDK out there on the subject, but I can't really make much sense of the overall picture. Much of the Adobe user-to-user forum content is old or unrelated. ## Project description I need a menu added to the menu bar with three options. The three options would all use "Clear and Import" function possible in Bridge's Keywords panel to import 1 of 3 different tab-delimited text files from the database server using either the FTP or HTTP object. The reading I've done in the Bridge SDK and JavaScript guide suggests that menu items can be added as I've shown in the image below for clarity. Additionally, I've managed to get a very rough version of the "Clear and Import" method to work as a startup script, however I'd like to be able to call them on the fly by clicking on the appropriate menu entry.

I want to try to convert a string to a Guid, but I don't want to rely on catching exceptions ( - - - In other words the code: ``` public static Boolean TryStrToGuid(String s, out Guid value) { try { value = new Guid(s); return true; } catch (FormatException) { value = Guid.Empty; return false; } } ``` is not suitable.

Additionally, I thought certain Guid values are invalid(?) --- [ChristianK](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/104850/c-test-if-string-is-a-guid-without-throwing-exceptions#137829) had a good idea to catch only `FormatException`, rather than all.

I'm trying to implement an outdent of the first letter of the first paragraph of the body text. Where I'm stuck is in getting consistent spacing between the first letter and the rest of the paragraph. For example, there is a huge difference in spacing between a "W" and an "I"   Anyone have any ideas about how to mitigate the differences? I'd prefer a pure CSS solution, but will resort to JavaScript if need be. : I don't necessarily need compatibility in IE or Opera

I've got the sprite of dexter from GSA. basically I'm not an artist, so I have to depend on already available sprites, backgrounds, sfx on websites like GameSpriteArchive etc. But is it okay/legal to use the dexter sprite I have got ? I wish to release it publicly too, so shall I have to make lot of changes to do that? Is it possible to get a permission to use the sprite?? My hopes are very less in getting permission. 1.

I have a website where people can upload documents, and view them later at their convenience. I store the binary info along with the mime type in my db, and later just stream the binary content straight to the browser. This works for for every file type except Office 2007 files. When I try to view the Office 2007 files, I get a popup requesting credentials. After I dismiss the the dialog (by canceling), I get another popup like the one below:  After also dismissing this dialog (by clicking "Yes"), the document finally opens. What gives? Does the browser really not know how to handle Office 2007 files? I checked the mime-type I'm saving, and everything looks correct. Any ideas on what I can do to get rid of these dialogs when trying to open a file?

OK, I have been working on a random image selector and queue system (so you don't see the same images too often). All was going swimmingly (as far as my crappy code does) I got to the random bit. I wanted to test it, but how do you test for it? There is no `Debug.Assert(i.IsRandom)` (sadly) :D So, I got my brain on it after watering it with some tea and came up with the following, I was just wondering if I could have your thoughts? - - - i.e. ``` Debug.Assert(myObj.RndVal == RndIntTester.ValuePassed); ``` But I couldn't help but think, I ran that through lots of iterations to see if it fell over at any time etc. Do you think I was wasting my time with this? Or could I have got away with:  [GateKiller's answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/122741/testing-for-random-value-thoughts-on-this-approach#122765) reminded me of this:  ## Update to Clarify - - -

I have developed a couple of extensions for Firefox, and am annoyed that it is so hard to get the extension signed. When an extension isn't signed, it says "Author not verified" when it is installed, and to me that just looks wrong. I have a simple build script that builds my .xpi file from sources, and I have a licenced copy of PKZip (which according to a number of tutorials is required to build a signed xpi file that Firefox requires), but I haven't found a way to get a free/cheap certificate that actually works or a set of instructions that do the trick. Since my extensions are free, I don't want to spend $400 on a commercial certificate, but I don't mind spending $50 or so to get it done. I have both Linux and Windows machines, although my build script currently uses Windows and that would be most convenient to use. How have you solved this? What do I need to do to automatically and securely sign my extensions when they are built? Edit: I appreciate the Google hits, but the steps they provide aren't complete enough on how to actually get a certificate that works. The feeling I get reminds me of this classic:

I have a project containing at least one DLL along with the executable output. I have added a Deployment Project to this solution, which asked me for a name and working directory upon creation like all projects. I named this "MyProduc_Installer" and have been able to modify all aspects of the installation process except for changing the name of the installer itself. Throughout the install process, the user sees messages like "Welcome to the MyProduct_Installer Installer." Even in the Add/Remove Programs list, this is the application's ill conceived title. How do I change this setting? I have tried right click/properties, as well as all the View options. I couldn't find anything in the assembly information for the executable project, or solution properties. I have tried right-clicking on the project in the Explorer to change the properties, but here is what I see:  There is no setting here to change the project title.

I am trying to set the disabled font characteristics for a Label Control. I can set all of the Font characteristics (size, bold, etc), but the color is overridden by the default windows behavior which seems to be one of these two colors: - - The image below demonstrates the behavior -- Column 1 is Labels, Column 2 is TextBoxs, and Column 3 is ComboBoxes.  Edit -- Explaining the image: The first two rows are default styles for a label, textbox, and combobox. In the second two rows, I set the Background color to Red and Foreground to White. The disabled font style handling by Microsoft is inconsistent.

Sorry if the title is poorly descriptive, but I can't do better right now =( So, I have this master-detail scheme, with the detail being a tree structure (one to many self relation) with n levels (on SQLServer 2005) I need to copy a detail structure from one master to the another using a stored procedure, by passing the source master id and the target master id as parameters (the target is new, so it doesn't has details). I'm having troubles, and asking for your kind help in finding a way to keep track of parent id's and inserting the children without using cursors or nasty things like that...  This is a sample model, of course, and what I'm trying to do is to copy the detail structure from one master to other. In fact, I'm creating a new master using an existing one as template.

The problem/comic in question: [http://xkcd.com/287/](http://xkcd.com/287/)  I'm not sure this is the best way to do it, but here's what I've come up with so far. I'm using CFML, but it should be readable by anyone. ``` <cffunction name="testCombo" returntype="boolean"> <cfargument name="currentCombo" type="string" required="true" /> <cfargument name="currentTotal" type="numeric" required="true" /> <cfargument name="apps" type="array" required="true" /> <cfset var a = 0 /> <cfset var found = false /> <cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(arguments.apps)#" index="a"> <cfset arguments.currentCombo = listAppend(arguments.currentCombo, arguments.apps[a].name) /> <cfset arguments.currentTotal = arguments.currentTotal + arguments.apps[a].cost /> <cfif arguments.currentTotal eq 15.05> <!--- print current combo ---> <cfoutput><strong>#arguments.currentCombo# = 15.05</strong></cfoutput><br /> <cfreturn true /> <cfelseif arguments.currentTotal gt 15.05> <cfoutput>#arguments.currentCombo# > 15.05 (aborting)</cfoutput><br /> <cfreturn false /> <cfelse> <!--- less than 15.05 ---> <cfoutput>#arguments.currentCombo# < 15.05 (traversing)</cfoutput><br /> <cfset found = testCombo(arguments.currentCombo, arguments.currentTotal, arguments.apps) /> </cfif> </cfloop> </cffunction> <cfset mf = {name="Mixed Fruit", cost=2.15} /> <cfset ff = {name="French Fries", cost=2.75} /> <cfset ss = {name="side salad", cost=3.35} /> <cfset hw = {name="hot wings", cost=3.55} /> <cfset ms = {name="moz sticks", cost=4.20} /> <cfset sp = {name="sampler plate", cost=5.80} /> <cfset apps = [ mf, ff, ss, hw, ms, sp ] /> <cfloop from="1" to="6" index="b"> <cfoutput>#testCombo(apps[b].name, apps[b].cost, apps)#</cfoutput> </cfloop> ``` The above code tells me that the only combination that adds up to $15.05 is 7 orders of Mixed Fruit, and it takes 232 executions of my testCombo function to complete. Is there a better algorithm to come to the correct solution? Did I come to the correct solution?

Curious what is recognized as a solid algorithm/approach for judging the strength of a directed acyclic graph - particularly the strength of certain nodes. The main question I have about this can be boiled down to the following two graphs:  (if graph doesn't show up, click here or visit this link: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/86396568@N00/2893003041/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/86396568@N00/2893003041/) To my eyes, A is in a stronger position than a. I am judging strength by how strong a node can remain if a link is knocked out. I'd call the first a thin "stilt", and the second a thick "stalk". Here are the approaches I've considered so far for judging the strength of a node: 1) Counting the number of nodes below, subtracting the number of nodes above. - 2) Counting the number of complete paths (to termination) for each node, summing their lengths. - - 3) Counting every possible path, treating every node as a destination. - 3 seems like the best option so far, but is there one that is better, generalized for DAGs? Is this something that has a known best approach? The principles are to use as much information in the graph as possible, and for the solution to be explainable in an intuitive way.

I have one of those "I swear I didn't touch the server" situations. I honestly didn't touch any of the php scripts. The problem I am having is that php data is not being saved across different pages or page refreshes. I know a new session is being created correctly because I can set a session variable (e.g. $_SESSION['foo'] = "foo" and print it back out on the same page just fine. But when I try to use that same variable on another page it is not set! Is there any php functions or information I can use on my hosts server to see what is going on? Here is an example script that does not work on my hosts' server as of right now: ``` <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['views'])) $_SESSION['views'] = $_SESSION['views']+ 1; else $_SESSION['views'] = 1; echo "views = ". $_SESSION['views']; echo '<p><a href="page1.php">Refresh</a></p>'; ?> ``` The 'views' variable never gets incremented after doing a page refresh. I'm thinking this is a problem on their side, but I wanted to make sure I'm not a complete idiot first. Here is the phpinfo() for my hosts' server (PHP Version 4.4.7):

i have a flow panel that i'm adding extra items to it at runtime based on whether they have chosen to show all the items. that's all works fine; the expansion is controlled by a toolbar button. the trouble is we'd like the user to be able to move his mouse over the "+" sign to expand the section.  initially i looked at TSpeedButton (OnMouseEnter) but even when it's "Flat", the focus rectangle still shows and so the glyph isn't centered. the main problem with this solution is it's appearance. then i looked at making a descendant of TImage. that's a bit "unconventional" but it'd work. in OnMouseEnter or OnClick, it'd toggle an internal boolean "Expanded" flag and then load the appropriate picture from a resource. i have a dislike for unconventional solutions like that. i need to add it to a few different screens so it's probably prudent for me to have/build a component for this. i have JVCL but i don't see anything suitable offhand. thank you for your comments/help!

I have a table that looks like that:  The rows are sorted by CLNDR_DATE DESC. I need to find a CLNDR_DATE that corresponds to the highlighted row, in other words: Find the topmost group of rows WHERE EFFECTIVE_DATE IS NOT NULL, and return the CLNR_DATE of a last row of that group. Normally I would open a cursor and cycle from top to bottom until I find a NULL in EFFECTIVE_DATE. Then I would know that the date I am looking for is CLNDR_DATE, obtained at the previous step. However, I wonder if the same can be achieved with a single SQL?

I'm trying to select a random 10% sampling from a small table. I thought I'd just use the RAND() function and select those rows where the random number is less than 0.10: ``` SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeColumn='SomeCondition' AND RAND() < 0.10 ``` But I soon discovered that RAND() always returns the same number! Reminds me of this [xkcd cartoon](http://xkcd.com/221/).  OK, no problem, the RAND function takes a seed value. I will be running this query periodically, and I want it to give different results if I run it on a different day, so I seed it with a combination of the date and a unique row ID: ``` SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeColumn='SomeCondition' AND RAND(CAST(GETDATE) AS INTEGER) + RowID) < 0.10 ``` I still don't get any results! When I show the random numbers returned by RAND, I discover that they're all within a narrow range. It appears that getting a random number from RAND requires you to use a random seed. If I had a random seed in the first place, I wouldn't need a random number! I've seen the previous discussions related to this problem: [SQL Server Random Sort](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52964/sql-server-random-sort) [How to request a random row in SQL?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19412/how-to-request-a-random-row-in-sql) They don't help me. TABLESAMPLE works at the page level, which is great for a big table but not for a small one, and it looks like it applies prior to the WHERE clause. TOP with NEWID doesn't work because I don't know ahead of time how many rows I want. Anybody have a solution, or at least a hint? Thanks to AlexCuse for a [solution](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/163604/what-am-i-doing-wrong-when-using-rand-in-ms-sql-server-2005#163843) which works for my particular case. Now to the larger question, how to make RAND behave?

What am I doing wrong when using RAND() in MS SQL Server 2005?

I have created a user control to handle adding comments to certain business entities, like contacts and customers. Works great ... except for one issue. I am using a ListView control to edit and delete comments, and a separate area, on the same user control to add a new comment. All of this is wrapped in an UpdatePanel.  Here is my scenario ... the user adds a new comment ... the page does a postback, the data is successfully saved, and the ListView control is updated to show the new comment. Now, if the user the browser, it will naturally postback again and will add another duplicate record. Any ideas on how best to prevent this?

I have a webpage that pulls information from a database, converts it to .csv format, and writes the file to the HTTPResponse. ``` string csv = GetCSV(); Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = "text/csv"; Response.Write(csv); ``` This works fine, and the file is sent to the client with no problems. However, when the file is sent to the client, the name of the current page is used, instead of a more friendly name (like "data.csv").  My question is, how can I change the name of the file that is written to the output stream without writing the file to disk and redirecting the client to the file's url?

Change name of file sent to client?

Today the blinkenlights [stereoscope](http://blinkenlights.net/stereoscope) project starts as part of the [nuit blanche](http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca/) art event in Toronto. The Toronto city hall is transferred into a giant matrix display. There are [tools](http://blinkenlights.net/stereoscope/create) to create custom animations and an [iphone application](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=291807780&mt=8) to view the live stream.  I think this is a great example of using technology for art and beauty. What other coding/programming projects are out there for the sake of art and beauty?

# 1st phase I have a problem shutting down my running JBoss instance under Eclipse since I changed the JNDI port of JBoss. Of course I can shut it down from the console view but not with the stop button (it still searches JNDI port at the default 1099 port). I'm looking forward to any solutions.

i need to be able to produce a "pretty" printout of an individual list item's values, with the goals being: - - i'm avoiding using InfoPath at this time due to other issues (which i'll post separate questions for...) , i have an individual list item that normally displays similar to the following `DispForm.aspx` :  i need a printed version (`PrintForm.aspx`??) that will display similar to the following :  from what i can tell, i can't do this just by modifying/creating custom CSS. it also seems that i can't quite do this just by creating my own "print" version of `DispForm.aspx`. any suggestions, ideas, links would be very helpful.

I'm trying add a tab to my web page that looks like this:  Using [this example](http://mattberseth.com/blog/2007/09/using_css_image_sprites_with_t.html) as a basis, I've gotten it partially working. My case differs because I want the text section to be a fixed with, but the tail section to dynamically resize to take up the rest of the tab's container. It looks good in IE 6, but doesn't really take up the full width of the container. In Firefox 3 it doesn't render well at all: (the red is a blank area between the spans). How do I get this to render properly in both IE6 and Firefox to take up the full width specified for #Tab? #Tab4 is the area I'd like to size to take up as much room as possible. ``` <style type="text/css"> #Tab { width: 300px; } #Tab1 { background: #000 url(BlueTabSprite.png) no-repeat 0 -136px; display: inline-block; height: 23px; padding-left: 4px; } #Tab2 { background: #000 url(BlueTabSprite.png) repeat-x 0 -242px; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 4px; height: 19px; width: 100px; } #Tab3 { background: #000 url(BlueTabSprite.png) no-repeat right -30px; display: inline-block; height: 23px; padding-right: 6px; } #Tab4 { background: #000 url(BlueTabSprite.png) repeat-x 0 -83px; display: inline-block; height: 23px; width:60% } #Tab5 { background: #000 url(BlueTabSprite.png) no-repeat right -189px; display: inline-block; height: 23px; padding-right:6px; } </style> <div id="Tab"> <span id="Tab1"> <span id="Tab3"> <span id="Tab2">Test Tab</span> </span> </span> <span id="Tab5"> <span id="Tab4"></span> </span> </div> ```

The UI for the widget includes tool-tips that display over the top of other page content. See screenshot below or [go to the site](http://www.bookabach.co.nz/) to see it in action. Is there any way to make content from within the IFRAME overlap the parent frame's content?

I use the MFC list control in report view with grid lines to display data in a vaguely spreadsheet manner. Sometimes when the user scrolls vertically through the control, extra grid lines are drawn, which looks terrible. This does not happen when the slider or the mousewheel are used to scroll, only when the little down arrow button at the bottom of the scroll control is used. It seems that this occurs when the size of the list control window is not an exact even number of rows, so that a partial row is visible at the bottom. If I adjust the size of the list control so that there is no partial rows visible, the problem is solved. However, it will appear when the program is run on another computer, presumably because the number of pixels occupied by a row changes. I am assuming that it is an interaction between screen resolution, font size and "dialog units". I guess that I need to programmatically force the size of the control when it is created. But what size? I have tried using the ApproximateViewRect() method but I cannot get it to work. Perhaps this method does not know about report view? The other method, I suppose, would be to create my own specialization of CListCtrl and over-ride whatever method is doing the scrolling. This seems likely to be a lot of work. This screenshot shows a closely related problem where the grid lines go missing  and here is one with the extra grid lines  The only difference between these two and between them and one which scrolls perfectly is a few pixels different in the vertical size of the control.

I am trying to figure out how to add a custom control to the iPhone MoviePlayer. For an example of what I am trying to do see the following image.  I am trying to add something like the controls on the right and left of the basic movie controls. I had done this in the Open SDK by adding a subclass to the playerview, but now in the official SDK and Apple moving to MPMoviePlayerController I am not sure how to do it. Also with my old 1.x firmware way it required me to capture touch events and hide/show the control myself. I am hoping there is a way that would do this with the standard controls, but if not, that is fine. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have multiple view of the same display object? (e.g. same-computer multi-player game using split screen) The sample code that failed to work follows: ``` var content: Sprite = new Sprite(); var v1: Sprite = new Sprite(); var v2: Sprite = new Sprite(); with(content.graphics) { lineStyle(2, 0xff0000); drawCircle(100, 100, 80); lineStyle(5, 0x009999); drawRect(50, 80, 200, 30); } v1.addChild(content); v1.x = 0; v1.y = 0; v1.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100); addChild(v1); v2.addChild(content); v2.x = 100; v2.y = 0; v2.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100); addChild(v2); ``` I thought this would make two viewports (`v1` and `v2`) of the same object (`content`). But when I checked the docs, DisplayObjectContaner/addChild method, it says, "If you add a child object that already has a different display object container as a parent, the object is removed from the child list of the other display object container."

The problem is that in my company the GAL is many tens of thousands large, and it's common that conflicts occur in name resolution when attempting to send email and it goes to the wrong person in another country. Instead, I would like to place a separate Exchange address list "X" at the top of that list, to first resolve against names in our own company before checking the GAL. Then, resolve against "Contacts", then GAL. This configuration would need to be deployed to many hundreds of PCs. I've been able to do this on my own PC by hacking registry key: `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\your_profile_name\9207f3e0a3b11019908b08002b2a56c2`, Value `11023d05`. This contains a REG_BINARY data structure that lists the IDs of the items of this list. I can reorder them to my liking and Outlook accepts it. The IDs of the GAL and "X" address list are static. However, the problem is that the "Contacts" ID is apparently not static, perhaps unique to the user and/or computer. Its value appears to be undiscoverable in the registry. This prevents me from simply copying this registry value to all PCs. Has anyone been able to progammatically reorder the contact name resolution list?

Are there any Combobox controls (dropdown list with autosuggestion) based on the jQuery library? It should be able to handle and have some options. A would be great too. I'm working with ASP.NET, but it's a not a problem if I had to write a wrapper for it. 

Professional jQuery based Combobox control?
