Store Commonly Used Code Snippets in the Toolbox

Store Commonly Used Code Snippets in the Toolbox
This tip comes in from Korby Parnell:

One of my favorite VS.NET productivity tricks is to store code snippets as toolbox items. Arguably, this trick is better for comments than code since you can't reference them. To add text to the Toolbox, highlight it in the code editor, drag it over to your toolbox, and drop it when the tooltip changes from the no smoking sign into rectangle. Thereafter, you can simply drag and drop the snippet to your editor for reuse.

Conferência no TAGUS PARK

Seminário GAPI

A informação, base do conhecimento, é um elemento determinante na sociedade actual, transmite-se à velocidade da Luz e é partilhável sem limites.

O conhecimento é desenvolvido a partir da informação que detemos e do investimento em actividades de investigação e desenvolvimento (I&D), que importa proteger.

O Estado, através do sistema de propriedade industrial, assegura a protecção destes investimentos, reconhecendo a sua autoria e impedindo a sua utilização indevida mas, em contrapartida, torna patente, ou seja, conhecidos, os resultados da investigação. Desta forma, divulgando mais informação suscita o desenvolvimento de mais conhecimento.

Interessa pois conhecer as fontes da informação, sua organização e formas de acesso, para se poder beneficiar deste excelente instrumento de apoio à inovação, que são as Bases de Dados da Propriedade Industrial.

Marcas, Nomes de Empresas e “Sites” são protegidos e registados por diversas entidades (INPI, RNPC, FCCN).

As Patentes, os Desenhos e os Modelos de Utilidade são também protegidos e registados no INPI. Trata-se de um sistema complexo agora apresentado de forma coerente neste seminário organizado pelo GAPI do Taguspark.

Add Line Numbers to Your Code-Behind Classes

Add Line Numbers to Your Code-Behind Classes

Did you know that you can add line numbers to your code files in VS.NET? Line numbers are especially helpful if discussing a block of code with someone else, as you can refer to a specific line numbers. To turn on line numbers, go to the Tools menu, choose Options, and from the left-hand side select the Text Editor / C# or the Text Editor / Basic options. In the right-hand side you'll find a "Line numbers" checkbox. Check this and line numbers will be added to your code files, as shown below.

Customize the Start Page

How to customize the Start Page ?

When Visual Studio .NET loads up, by default the Start Page is shown, which lists the most recent projects. 4Guys reader Jon Vandermeulen writes in on how to tweak VS.NET so that more than just the default four projects are shown on the Start Page:

By default, your start page only shows the last 4 projects you worked on. But if you're like us, then you would routinely work on quite a few more than that. The setting is located in Tools > Options > Environment > General > Display ___ items in most recently used list.

META TAG no html-reference.com

This can be usefully for developers.

Try this example of webpage transactions:

< meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="revealTrans(Duration=1.0,Transition=23)" >

Note: Will do an random transaction from page. Don't work on Reload

META TAG no html-reference.com

PRB: Memory allocated in an Windows Application/Windows Service

Some times is possible to lose some performance and the Windows Application/Windows Service can't release the Objects Memory and the Server will go down.

To avoid this:

Include Code:
Private Declare Function SetProcessWorkingSetSize Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal dwMinimumWorkingSetSize As Int32, ByVal dwMaximumWorkingSetSize As Int32) As Int32

Public Function NewSaveMemory() As Int32
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
SetProcessWorkingSetSize(-1, -1)
End Function

Include Timer (5sec):

Private Sub TimerCleanMem_Elapsed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles TimerCleanMem.Elapsed
NewSaveMemory()
End Sub


This functions will release the memory that are in the Garbage Collector

I hope this help
