"Adobe Flex is a collection of technologies released by Adobe Systems for the development and deployment of cross platform rich Internet applications based on the proprietary Adobe Flash platform."
[Adobe Flex][1]
[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flex |
Flex and Flash have different target audiences. Flex is more geared towards developers where as Flash is more geared towards designers and artists. |
Yeah, I was confused by this for quite a while too.
Flex seems to be thier name for the 'Flex Builder' IDE (based on Eclipse), and the general approach of building flash files using [mxml][1] and ActionScript rather than the normal flash tools.
I think the mxml and ActionScript approach (i.e. Flex) is designed to... |
How do I save each sheet in an Excel workbook to seperate CSV files with a macro? |
|excel|csv|macro|vb| |
Title says it all.
I have an excel with multiple sheets. And I was looking for a macro that will save each sheet to a seperate CSV (comma seperated file). Excel will not allow you to save all sheets to different CSV files.

I have a javascript function that manipulates the DOM when it is called (adds CSS classes, etc). This is invoked when the user changes some values in a form. When the document is first loading, I want to invoke this function to prepare the initial state (which is simpler in this case than setting up the DOM from the ... |
@Lars Truijens - Thanks, but I think for 99% of cases that's a horrible idea, and sure, there are uses - but I've found that with WPF there's typically a much better way to do it.
Plus you can use textboxes, and use an Enter as Tab override to move through them easily and swiftly. |
Well, I personally really like what I have been using since I started with Emacs, which is GNU Emacs. It looks like it is built for [windows too][1]. That link also answers your [.emacs file question][2]. [Here is a place you can download it][3]. You should probably get version 22.2 (the latest).

See <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html>. Section 2.1 describes where to get it, and section 3.5 describes where the .emacs file goes (by default, in your home directory, as specified by the HOME environment variable).

Freetype might be good for rendering fonts.

I prefer to use minimal size. Memory may be cheap, <b>cache is not</b>. |
Assuming you know the size of the full stack you could probably add some assembly code to read ESP.
If you read ESP and save it aside in the main function you can compare the current ESP to the ESP you have in main and see how much ESP has changed. That'll give you an indication of how much stack you're used. |
Taking the address of a local variable off the stack would work. Then in a more nested call you can subtract the address of another local to find the difference between them
size_t top_of_stack;
void Main()
{
int x=0;
top_of_stack = (size_t) &x;

How about obtaining the version of a system file?
The best file would be kernel32.dll, located in %WINDIR%\System32\kernel32.dll.
There are APIs to obtain the file version. eg: I'm using Windows XP -> "5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-2111)" |

One more approach is having 3 tables for storing the 3 entities and having a separate table for storing the relations. |
Returning "self" or "this" is a common pattern, sometimes referred to as <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/dslwip/MethodChaining.html">"method chaining"</a>. As for your proposed syntax sugar, I'm not so sure. I'm not a .NET guy, but it doesn't seem terribly useful to me. |
You can't do this with
`public interface IMySpecialCollection : IList<MyObject>, IList { ... }`
But you can do what you want with a class, you will need to make the implementations for one of the interfaces explicit. In my example I made IList explicit.
`public class MySpecialCollection : IList<MyObject>, ILi... |

You are looking for a no-cache directive:

Deep copying can only be done with each class's consent. If you have control over the class hierarchy then you can implement the clonable interface and implement the Clone method. Otherwise doing a deep copy is impossible to do safely because the object may also be sharing non-data resources (e.g. database connections)... |

Here are two possible **workarounds**:
1. You can place the databound field within the body of the report as a hidden textbox, and then in the header place another textbox with it's value pointed at the the one hidden within the body.

You can also use
`<%= Class.Method() %>`
And it will print the result, just as you can do in Ruby on Rails. |
Scott Guthrie gives some great advice here on how to set up a User Control Library project, then use pre-build events to copy the user controls into multiple projects. It works really well.

This design is vulnerable to multithreading issues. I'd strongly suggest using Guids for your IDs (Guid.NewGuid()). If you absolutely must use ints, check out the [Interlocked][1] class. You can wrap all incrementing and Id logic up in a base class so that you're only accessing the ID generator in one location.

Personally, I've had lots of success with your second model, using a PK/FK on a single column.
I have never had a situation where all Alphas were required to have a record in a Bravo or Charlie table. I've always dealt with 1 <-> 0..1, never 1 <-> 1.
As for your last question, that's just that many more tables. |
You could have a join table that specifies an Alpha and a related ID. You can then add another column specifing if it is an ID for Bravo, Charlie or whatever. Keeps the column creep down on Alpha but does add some complexity to joining queries. |
For SVN, this will generally work as others have already stated.
