If you share concept (as I do) that every build should have a unique file version stamp in it, for a simple purpose – at least – to distinguish between different version of the same binary, then a helpful tool of automatic incrementing fourth number in FILEVERSION’s file version is something you cannot live without.…
Before attributed ATL was deprecated, it was a convenient way to access databases using attributed classes on top of OLEDB Consumer Templates. Does not it look nice? [ db_command(“SELECT ServerData FROM Server WHERE Server = ?”) ] class CGetServerData { public: [ db_param(1) ] LONG m_nServer; [ db_column(1, length = “m_nDataLength”) ] ISequentialStream* m_pDataStream; DBLENGTH…
Having installed Visual Studio .NET 2008 Service Pack 1 (installs Windows SDK 6.0a) and Windows SDK 6.1, I would obviously like to have newer Windows SDK used in include path. However after edit of WindowsSdkDir environment variable and checking all include directories to point to new Windows (former Platform) SDK path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1“, MIDL…

I found that the problem was related to setup projects (.vdproj) that time and it was something with Visual Studio update, but I was of an opinion that Visual Studio .NET 2008 has problems…
A picture for relaxation: It is probably a fresh bug there as it seems to be happening far more frequently with version 2008 (with ot without SP1) as compared to 2005. Luckily it has no effect to code being written, the problem clearly relates to debugger. At some point there is a crash, though which…
It is amazing how bugs go through versions and years. Visual Studio’s IDE dockable windows framework is cool, no doubt. But it was since 2005, if not earlier, that tool window undocked by a double click while application is running (debugging session active) is brought to wrong position and is tending to go out of…
The other day I “wrote some code” to workaround an extremely stupid hardware issues. The depth of idiocy is just incredible: to release a bunch of hardware that just don’t work, release a number of firmware updates that just don’t fix the simplest thing: HTTP compatibility. If there was a single little try to see…
