Use REM: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/comments.php

An example:

    REM signtool sign /a $(TargetPath)
    xcopy /Y &quot;$(TargetPath)&quot; &quot;C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)&quot;


You can also use double colons ::

    :: My comments
    xcopy /Y &quot;$(TargetPath)&quot; &quot;C:\Deploy\$(TargetFileName)&quot;

I prefer these to the REM keyword in command line (and bat files).


I&#39;m trying to set up a connecting string in my web.config file (Visual Studio 2008/ASP.NET 3.5) to a local server (SQL server 2008).

In my web.config, how and where do I place the connection string?

Here&#39;s what web.config file looks like right now: http://imwired.net/aspnet/Online_web.config

I have an app.js node application. As this file is starting to grow, I would like to move some part of the code in some other files that I would &quot;require&quot; or &quot;include&quot; in the app.js file.

I&#39;m trying things like:

    // Declare application
    var app = require(&#39;express&#39;).createServer();

    // Declare usefull stuff for DB purposes
    var mongoose = require(&#39;mongoose&#39;);
    var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
    var ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

    // THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE DOES NOT WORK
    require(&#39;./models/car.js&#39;);

in car.js:

    // Define Car model
    CarSchema = new Schema({
      brand        : String,
      type : String
    });
    mongoose.model(&#39;Car&#39;, CarSchema);


I got the error:

    ReferenceError: Schema is not defined

I&#39;m just looking to have the content of car.js loaded (instead of having everything in the same app.js file) Is there a particuliar way to do this in node.js ?

I&#39;m looking for a library to generate QR codes in .NET I&#39;ve stumbled across a few paid ones, but very few free ones that look any good. Anyone have experience with a good free open-source library?

Thanks

I have noticed more and more a growing number of resources for developing applications using the F# programming language and the question came to mind of what the F# language was created to accomplish. Is it made for a specific platform, for example, Desktop, Mobile Devices, Web Applications? Also, did it include features not available in other programming languages that are currently available for developing .NET applications? Also is it still possible to create applications for the desktop, mobile, and web using F# as we can use VB or C#? Also, are there other languages similar to F# that I can use to cross-check against to get a better understanding of how functional programming works?

I examine the properties of an object via reflection and continue processing the data type of each property. Here is my (reduced) source:

    private void ExamineObject(object o)
    {
      Type type = default(Type);
      Type propertyType = default(Type);
      PropertyInfo[] propertyInfo = null;

      type = o.GetType();

      propertyInfo = type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.GetProperty |
                                        BindingFlags.Public |
                                        BindingFlags.NonPublic |
                                        BindingFlags.Instance);
      // Loop over all properties
      for (int propertyInfoIndex = 0; propertyInfoIndex &lt;= propertyInfo.Length - 1; propertyInfoIndex++)
      {
        propertyType = propertyInfo[propertyInfoIndex].PropertyType;
      }
    }

My problem is, that I newly need to handle nullable properties, but I have no clue how to get the type of a nullable property.

I want to use a nlogger in my application, maybe in the future I will need to change the logging system.
So I want to use a logging facade.

Do you know any recommendations for existing examples how to write those ones ?
Or just give me link to some best practice in this area.

I need to drop an image file into my WPF application. I currently have a event firing when I drop the files in, but I don&#39;t know how what to do next. How do I get the Image? Is the `sender` object the image or the control?

    private void ImagePanel_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        //what next, dont know how to get the image object, can I get the file path here?
    }

Is there a way for Visual Studio (I&#39;m using 2010) to find errors within razor views during builds, in the same way as other code in a C# project would?

It&#39;s just a pain that you can check any errors in your code and think that everything&#39;s fine, but it appears that you can&#39;t be sure about views unless you go through each one.

BTW I obviously don&#39;t code in my views - I&#39;m just talking about HTML or URL extension methods for example.

Some days ago I installed the [ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update](http://haacked.com/archive/2011/04/12/introducing-asp-net-mvc-3-tools-update.aspx) for Visual Studio 2010.  

Just now I went to create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 application and I see that there&#39;s a new option on the `New ASP.NET MVC 3 Project` dialog:

&gt; use HTML5 semantic markup

What does selecting this checkbox change in the newly created app compared to not selecting it, other than the literally obvious?  
When would you *definitely not* want to use it, only to keep compatibility with old browsers?

I&#39;m not very familiar with post-build events, so I&#39;m a little confused as to what&#39;s going wrong with my program. When compiling in visual studio 2010, I get the following:

    The command &quot;xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\Library\dsoframer.ocx C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D
    xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\ApplicationFiles C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D
    xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\url\ C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D
    rmdir /S /Q C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\.gwt-tmp&quot; exited with code 4.	

The program *appears* to run fine, despite this error, but I don&#39;t want to just ignore this issue and hope nothing bad happens. Strangely, this line started out as only a single command (the first xcopy) but as I continued to compile the project (fixing other problems, mostly references) the error message expanded larger and larger. Any idea what could be going on?

Edit: Here are the postbuild events that seem to be failing --

    xcopy $(ProjectDir)Library\dsoframer.ocx $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D
    xcopy $(ProjectDir)ApplicationFiles $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D
    xcopy $(SolutionDir)com.myUrl.gwt\www $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D
    rmdir /S /Q $(TargetDir).gwt-tmp

What is going wrong when Visual Studio tells me &quot;xcopy exited with code 4&quot;

I am VERY new to ASP.NET MVC (3) and am having a hard time resolving a build error in Visual Studio:

The type or namespace name &#39;DbContext&#39; could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
    using System.Data.Entity;
    
    namespace MyProjectName.Models
    {   
        public class MachineModel
        {
            // name
            [Required]
            [Display(Name = &quot;Nom de la machine&quot;)]
            public string Name { get; set; }
    
            // IP
            [Required]
            [RegularExpression(@&quot;(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)&quot;,
               ErrorMessage = &quot;Donnez une adresse IPv4 valide.&quot;)]
            [Display(Name = &quot;Adresse IP de la machine&quot;)]
            public string IP { get; set; }
        }

        {
            public DbSet&lt;MachineModel&gt; Machines{ get; set; }
        }
    }

The two errors I am getting are:

 - The type or namespace name
   &#39;DbContext&#39; could not be found (are
   you missing a using directive or an
   assembly reference?) 
 - The type or namespace name &#39;DbSet&#39;
   could not be found (are you
   missing a using directive or an
   assembly reference?)

What am I missing?

There is *Copy to Output Directory* property for files in C# projects. But in VC++ projects it is absent. I know, that I can use *Build events* in VC++ and write there something like

    xcopy /y /d %(FullPath) $(OutDir)

Is there a way to avoid the use of CMD (and other scripting methods)? Can msbuild do something to help in this case?
