Writing post after long time. This seems to be a very common problem. When you are having a existing VB6 application that is going to be upgrading to VB.NET application but you need to go step by step. So most of new development is done using VB.NET and then you integrate that your VB6 application. There are two scenarios here:1. You write business logic/data layer in VB.NET which is basically a

Long time no post, was busy with office work and most of the time was searching for an open source tool that reliably prints or creates pdf from any document. It should also have ability to merge the documents or pdfs together. Finally, I found great open source tool PDFCreator which lets you create pdf, merge pdf, automatically save them to a directory, set options via code etc etc. In this

Today, I faced a problem regarding synchronizing TCP/IP Client with TCP/IP server. The problem was, client sends data and waits for acknowledgment. Server listens for data and when it gets data, it sends acknowledgment to the client and start listening for data again. Now when server starts listening for data again it gets old data i.e. it was not getting blocked on the read() function which it

FireWatir is a web application testing tool written using Ruby language. It is used for testing web application functionality on Firefox browser. It is written keeping 'WATiR' in mind so that scripts written for testing the application on IE using WATiR can be used with minimal/no changes, to test the application on Firefox.How its different from WATiR?The main difference between WATiR and

Building Firefox on Windows is a bit tricky. Though, the instructions on Mozilla developer site:http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites_on_the_1.7_and_1.8_Branchesare clear; there are more steps that you need to follow to build Firefox successfully. Make sure you1. Use make 3.80 and not 3.81. If you install cygwin it will install make 3.81 by default which will break the

Reflection in Ruby is a great way of doing the things at runtime. Sometimes you need to create an instance of class depending upon the parameter passed to a function. This parameter could be the name of the class to be created.One way to do this is to write conditional loops and create the object. But if there are too many classes then this would become messy. Here comes reflection to rescue.In

Sometimes situation arises in ASP.NET where you want to get the HTML that will be generated by the control without actually rendering the page. For e.g.: When getting the result from an AJAX call, you want to get the HTML generated by say Datagrid, so that you can directly replace the contents of the caller page.In ASP.NET you can get the HTML of any control by creating a new instance of

Few days ago, I got stuck while replacing the innerHTML of a table row with the results from an AJAX call. It happened that IE doesn't support the replacement of contents of a table row, while Firefox and Mozilla allows it.Googling on the problem, I found that for IE you need to remove all the cells using deleteCell() method. Then create new cell using insertCell() method and then replace the

WATiR provides very simple API's for functional testing an Web Application. With even limited scripting experience with Ruby you'll be able to create scripts to test your application. It provides API's for accessing almost all common elements on an HTML page. It allows you to access elements on the basis of some pre-defined attributes.Now, there were few things that were lacking:1. What if you
