Hi,

There should be option to save the regular expression by name in VS 2012 find and replace window, so that we can save any regular expression and use it while next time. E.g. to remove extra space we can save the (^(?([^\r\n])\s)*\r?$\r?\n) regular expression as “Remove extra lines”, and this will be appear under the standard regular expression list under “Custom Expressions” menu, So that we can use this saved expression next time.

We can also provide manage custom search menu where we can provide the functionality to add edit, delete existing custom (User defined) saved regular expression.

My idea is to implement a 'ClassCast'. In scenario's where you want to pick the algorithm to use based on the situation, changing the class instead of the data can add a lot of flexibility to the language. The basic idea is that if you have Foo : IBase and Bar : IBase and both Foo and Bar have the same field layout, you can do a 'var bar = classcast<Bar>(myFoo);' on an instance of an object that changes the type, but keeps the data in-tact. Because the layout has to be identical, you can do a compile-time check on the layout.

The only way to implement this at this moment is to copy all data from Foo to Bar or introduce a separate data object, which both introduce so much overhead that in most cases developers don't even consider changing the algorithm while executing it (the algorithm is usually picked before executing it). Note that this is a paradigm change from OO programming; a lot of common-place design patterns can be changed to benefit from a class-cast (f.ex. proxies, commands, lazy instantiation, etc).

Hi All,

i want some help for Check in & Check Out Process for Classic ASP Pages on Visual Studio 2010.

Currently What i am doing is Goint to.

Files >> Open >> Websites >> Remote Website and Give my Local Server Name there with Port.


Then all the Directory of my Website gets listed out and i Click on Page i want and "Check Out" for edit and once my work is done i want to "Check in" the Page,But i am not getting that option on the List.

So can anyone please let me know,how i will be able get "Check In" option for my page ??.
Or
By What way i will be able to do "Check Out" & "Check in" both Process from Visual Studio 2010.

So once i check in the page its get opened for other to use it.

any help on this would be highly appreciated..Awaiting for some quick reply on it...

When checking out excel and access files only one person can check out a file at a time.

When using access databases on a LAN drive multiple people can edit a single table at a time without an issue. When using a shared excel document on a LAN drive multiple people can edit a single tab at a time without an issue. These features are already there. Why are they removed when checked out by TFS which is supposed to make merging and versioning of files easier?

For automated testing projects excel and access files are used almost as often as actual code. Note being able to have multiple people work on and merge them makes it much ****** to get work done.

Microsoft,

I can't stay silent any longer. I've got to get this off my chest. For too long you guys have ignored users, like myself, that want to get the most from our machines and program for users that want the same.

For too long Microsoft has ignored users that find managed code an unacceptable solution to many of today's computing requirements. These users expect and need a modern language to include both SPEED, CONTROL and FUNCTIONALITY. They believe the problem with .NET is that it focuses too much on functionality at the expense of speed and control. For people who want to write in a language that generates the fastest possible code (which enhances the user experience at every level), C++ is still the only answer.

Now I know the people at Microsoft are smart. Very smart. Perhaps a little too smart. But I know that you guys can write this thing if you want. I can't understand why it hasn't already been written. Why can't you see the market potential? Java is a sloth. It's generates the epitome of bloat ware. They're toast as managed code will ALWAYS be behind the 8 ball because speed can't grow forever. Microsoft is discovering that now in Windows 8 and mobile. Thus, there's a HUGE potential for a language that offers a rich feature set like .NET that makes writing high quality applications faster but does not force a managed approach.

A managed approach is fine for environments that need RAD or don't care about speed. But that set does not include by any stretch, the totality of computer users around the world. Many of us still want our computers to run fast and solve problems that demand speed.

The proof of that is the persistence of C++. Despite Microsoft's best efforts, C++ has not withered away. Despite complete and utter neglect by the world's largest software company and in Microsoft-compliant universities, C++ is still in wide use. If that doesn't speak to demand I don't know what does. People want speed and they want to get the most from their machines and the programmers want to write applications that maximize performance so people can get the most from them. It makes their apps the best they can be and maximizes the user experience. Thus, this new language doesn't force garbage collection, it doesn't put anything between my bits and the processor above what is already done in C++. This language generates efficient native code AND offers the functionality of .NET. It provides conventional managed environment as an option. I know you guys can do it.

This is a flexible language that meets the RAD requirements of slothy business uses and excels at generating fast, efficient code with responsive, snappy, modern user interfaces and maximum performance for the rest of us. The only extra overhead required in this language is that the programmer needs to keep track of managing memory as there is no garbage collection. Perhaps there's some additional overhead with technology-specific solutions such as COM+ and others but they are options not requirements.

The garbage collection issue which is a big argument for managed code can likely be solved by better debugging tools built into the development environment. I could elaborate but I'm sure people that work on these problems have an idea what that might be. It's starts by keeping track of how and where objects are created and used throughout their life. If the will of management is there to deliver a simpler solution rather than a more complex one, the issue of memory leaks can be largely solved.

.NET is great for business applications with minimal speed requirements. But there's the rest of us that want to get the most from our machines and program for people that want the same. I'd even go one further and say that if even the average user could make a side by side comparison of the exact same app written in .NET and native code that had available the same modern API, the native code would win handily. Speed simply enhances user experience on every level and it's high time Microsoft stopped messing around with managed and acknowledge that reality. If you don't, I'm sure the market will sooner or later.

new method modifier 'keyword' enable new features: avoiding (), coma and point when call function

for example:

first, declaration

class SQLSyntax{

public int? keyword between(this int firstNumber, int nextNumber)
{
if(firstNumber>nextNumber)
return firstNumber;
else return null;
}
public bool keyword and(this int? firstNumber, int lastNumber){

if(firstNumber!=null && firstNumber<lastNumber) return true;
else return false;

}
}

usage:

//....do something

if (10 bewteen 5 and 11) //do something
else //do something

istead of

//....do something

if (10.bewteen(5).and( 11) ) //do something
else //do something

NOTE: if we use keyword params or a lot normal parameter we can avoid coma and use only space for split params (or not it can be under discussion)

Pros:
- simplyfy code
- special hilighting in IDE (as keyword)
- determinability (when we use keyword 'keyword' we cannot use (), coma or point when call method)

cons
- determinability isnt flexibility

With the global shift towards mobile and touch computing, it is so sad that the Microsoft leadership is still sleeping during this historic time in computing. Visual Studio 12 has just been released with the same dated controls/toolbox from the last PC era!!!

We need new touch friendly control and forms ASAP that create a great user experience. We are not living in the 1990s anymore and mobile touch computing is the future. Wouldn't it be nice to have the tools and controls to go with it????

Your answer might be metro apps - still can't figure out how to write one. But even Apple iOS uses touch friendly controls and forms for RAD - rapid app development. And so should you too!!!

Currently when we file a bug, can there is prefilled templates per user based. For example 90% of the bugst hat are filed are always to one same Area path or a sub path of the same. Also the iteration that i have is the current month. I could get a prefilled template with teh default priority of 2 for me and so that whenever I have to file a bug , I just need to fill in the necessary details.

Also , it could get he build number using some custom process that i could define like an exe running on the box or a shared file with the latest build number.
