Windows already has support for this, go to the Control Panel and open up Sounds and Audio Devices. Under the Sounds tab there is a section for program events. If you scroll down far enough one of the sections will be Microsoft Visual Studio. Then just pick the sound you want to hear for Build Succeeded and Build Failed. You will need to restart Visual Studio after choosing your sounds.

If you don&#39;t want to enable it for every single build, you can make an application that plays a sound, and add it into the post build event for that project.


I also wrote an extension for Visual Studio to achieve that. It also can play a sound when tests finished to run.

I&#39;m running an application from inside another one for testing purposes. I want to redirect the output for the tested app to a file, so I can have a log after each test.


Is there a way to redirect the output of an app to a file from the command line in java?


System.out to a file in java

I have created a text file in Unix environment using Java code.

For writing the text file I am using `java.io.FileWriter` and `BufferedWriter`. And for newline after each row I am using `bw.newLine()` method (where `bw` is object of `BufferedWriter`).

And I&#39;m sending that text file by attaching in mail from Unix environment itself (automated that using Unix commands).

My issue is, after I download the text file from mail in a Windows system, if I 
opened that text file the data is not properly aligned. `newline()` character is 
not working, I think so.

I want same text file alignment as it is in Unix environment, if I opened the
text file in Windows environment also.

How do I resolve the problem?

Java code below for your reference (running in Unix environment):

    File f = new File(strFileGenLoc);
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f, false));
    rs = stmt.executeQuery(&quot;select * from jpdata&quot;);
    while ( rs.next() ) {
        bw.write(rs.getString(1)==null? &quot;&quot;:rs.getString(1));
        bw.newLine();
    }

I have Visual studio 2010 Premium installed on Windows 7. When I try to connect to an online gallery or online template, I get an error message like this:

&gt; Cannot search for online exensions because an error occured while trying to contact the server

It asks me to enable access to extensions on the vistual studio gallery. I did enable those in Extension Manager Tools/Options page. Internet connection was fine, too. 

My computer firewall was turned off. I have proxy to connect to internet but it&#39;s working fine when the browser connects to internet (even the internal browser in vs2010 is working fine). So where is the place in VS2010 to set up the proxy for connection to other online resources?

I am running the VS2010 Ultimate trial on another computer and that works fine.

Visual Studio 2010 adds a zoom setting on the bottom left of the text editor (to the left of the horizontal scroll bar) and also adopts the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+mouse scroll idiom for zooming in and out.

The former is fine, but I dislike the latter as I am occasionally still holding control when I start scrolling my source code (which results in the text size radically changing and completely throwing me off whatever I was doing).

How do I disable it?

Using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, I have a `ToString()` method that looks like this:

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return &quot;something&quot; + &quot;\n&quot; + &quot;something&quot;;
    }

Because there are several &quot;`something`&quot;&#39;s and each is long, I&#39;d like to see

    something
    something

Sadly, I&#39;m seeing

    &quot;something\nsomething&quot;

Is there a way to get what I want?

I actually don&#39;t like #region in my code. *BUT* for some reason call me crazy, I would like to have them in my XAML. I would like whole sections to have a #region-like thing and collapse them (e.g. my &amp;lt;Window.CommandBindings&gt;, &amp;lt;Grid.*Definitions&gt;, &amp;lt;Menu&gt;, &amp;lt;Toolbar&gt;, etc..

Does this exist? If not, how about &amp;lt;RegionCollapse&gt;

My project directory looks like this:

    /project
        Makefile
        main
        /src
            main.cpp
            foo.cpp
            foo.h
            bar.cpp
            bar.h
        /obj
            main.o
            foo.o
            bar.o

What I would like my makefile to do would be to compile all `.cpp` files in the `/src` folder to `.o` files in the `/obj` folder, then link all the `.o` files in `/obj` into the output binary in the top-level folder `/project`.

I have next to no experience with Makefiles, and am not really sure what to search for to accomplish this.

Also, is this a &quot;good&quot; way to do this, or is there a more standard approach to what I&#39;m trying to do?

Can I compile all .cpp files in src/ to .o&#39;s in obj/, then link to binary in ./?

I am currently attempting to use Visual Studio 2010 &#39;Publish&#39; and MSDeploy functionality to handle my web deployment needs but have run into a roadblock with regards to customizing the package depending on my build configuration.

I develop in a 32bit environment but need to create a release package for a 64bit environment, so in the &#39;Release&#39; configuration I have a post build event that copies the 64bit version of a third-party dll into the bin directory overwriting the 32bit version.  When I use the &#39;Publish&#39; functionality, even though the correct 64bit dll is being copied to the bin directory, it doesn&#39;t get included in the package.

Is there a way to get the &#39;Publish&#39; to include files that have been copied into the bin directory during a post build event?

`dependency:tree` can be used to see the dependency tree for a given project. But what I need is to see the dependency tree for a 3rd party artifact.

What are the main benefits of using maven compared to let&#39;s say ant ?
It seems to be more of a annoyance than a helpful tool.
I use maven 2, with plain Eclipse Java EE (no m2eclipse), and tomcat.

Supporters of maven believe that 

1. Maven lets you get your package dependencies easily

2. Maven forces you to have a standard directory structure

In my experience

1. Figuring out package dependencies is really not that hard. You rarely do it anyway. Probably once during project setup and few more during upgrades. With maven you&#39;ll end up fixing mismatched dependencies, badly written poms, and doing package exclusions anyway.

2. Slow FIX-COMPILE-DEPLOY-DEBUG cycle, which kills productivity. This is my main gripe. You make a change, the you have to wait for maven build to kick in and wait for it to deploy. No hot deployment whatsoever.

Or am I just doing it wrong ? Please point me to the right direction, I&#39;m all ears.

Why maven? What are the benefits?

I had no problem with this in Visual Studio 2008 but it seems that VS 2010 is having an issue, and I&#39;m betting it&#39;s probably me.

I have a solution with an ASP.NET Web Site Project and a few C# projects (BLL, DAL, Tests in NUnit). I have configured the build process for the test project to automatically run NUnit to run the tests. I would like to ensure that the BLL and DAL projects build before the test project so that the tests will run against the latest compiled version (yes, I know I could do this all in one project, but I&#39;m choosing not to -- please bear with me :) )

So, I set the dependencies of the Test project to include the BLL, DAL, and Web Application projects, and the build order shows BLL, DAL, Web Application, and then Tests. However, I noticed that the BLL doesn&#39;t actually build when I build the Test project.

Any idea what this could be or any option I might be missing to force the other projects to build when I build the Test project?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I am interested in determining the musical key of an audio sample. How would (or could) an algorithm go about trying to approximate the key of a musical audio sample?

Antares Autotune and Melodyne are two pieces of software that do this sort of thing.

Can anyone give a bit of a layman&#39;s explanation about how this would work? To mathematically deduce the key of a song by analysing the frequency spectrum for chord progressions etc.

This topic interests me a lot!

I need to convert audio files to mp3 using ffmpeg.

When I write the command as `ffmpeg -i audio.ogg -acodec mp3 newfile.mp3`, I get the error:

Convert audio files to mp3 using ffmpeg

The [documentation for AVPlayer][1] states the following:

&gt; [The] player works equally well with local and remote media files

However, the [documentation for AVAudioPlayer][2] states the following:

&gt; Apple recommends that you use this class for audio playback unless you are playing audio captured from a network stream

For the work I am doing I need some of the capabilities of AVAudioPlayer, but all my audio is being streamed. The main thing I need from AVAudioPlayer that AVPlayer does not have is the &quot;playing&quot; property. It is difficult to build a player UI without that property, among others.

So what is the difference between AVPlayer and AVAudioPlayer that makes the latter unsuitable for network streaming? Is there a way to get some of the info from AVPlayer that AVAudioPlayer provides such as the &quot;playing&quot; property?
