Is there a way to show the console in a Windows application?

I want to do something like this:

    static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            bool consoleMode = Boolean.Parse(args[0]);
    
            if (consoleMode) {
                Console.WriteLine(&quot;consolemode started&quot;);
                // ...
            } else {
                Application.EnableVisualStyles();
                Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
                Application.Run(new Form1());
            }
        }
    }

Where can I find the specification of JUnit&#39;s XML output.
My goal is to write a UnitTest++ XML reporter which produced JUnit like output.

Spec. for JUnit XML Output

Why are we using 

    for (int i = 0 ; i &lt; count ; i++){ }

Why the `i`?

Why not 

    for (int a = 0; a &lt; count; a++){ }

I do it, you do it, everyone does it, but WHY?

*Edit

I found out an old saying about Fortran which is more funny than correct which says &quot;god is real, everything else above is an integer&quot;.

&quot;god&quot; would be a variable name stating with a `g` so it would be in the real domain, while everything else above (excluding h for the joke&#39;s purpose) would be an integer.

It seems that the original saying was in fact: &quot;God is real, unless declared integer&quot;. Apologies to everyone citing me in their Ph.D thesis.


Why are we using i as a counter in loops?

Why are we using
<pre><code class="hljs language-css">for (int i = 0 ; i &#x3C; count ; i++){ }
</code></pre>
Why the <code>i</code>?
Why not
<pre><code class="hljs language-css">for (int a = 0; a &#x3C; count; a++){ }
</code></pre>

I have a pretty good understanding of Javascript, except that I can&#39;t figure out a nice way to set the &quot;this&quot; variable.  Consider:

    var myFunction = function(){
        alert(this.foo_variable);
    }
	
    var someObj = document.body; //using body as example object
    someObj.foo_variable = &quot;hi&quot;; //set foo_variable so it alerts

    var old_fn = someObj.fn;   //store old value
    someObj.fn = myFunction;   //bind to someObj so &quot;this&quot; keyword works
    someObj.fn();              
    someObj.fn = old_fn;       //restore old value

Is there a way to do this without the last 4 lines?  It&#39;s rather annoying...  I&#39;ve tried   binding an anonymous function, which I thought was beautiful and clever, but to no avail:
 
    var myFunction = function(){
        alert(this.foo_variable);
    }
	
    var someObj = document.body;        //using body as example object
    someObj.foo_variable = &quot;hi&quot;;        //set foo_variable so it alerts
    someObj.(function(){ fn(); })();    //fail.

Obviously, passing the variable into myFunction is an option... but that&#39;s not the point of this question.

Thanks.

Set &quot;this&quot; variable easily?

What is the scope of variables in javascript? Do they have the same scope inside as opposed to outside a function? Or does it even matter? Also, where are the variables stored if they are defined globally?

What is the scope of variables in JavaScript?

I know this question sounds rather vague so I will make it more clear with an example:

    $var = &#39;bar&#39;;
    $bar = new {$var}Class(&#39;var for __construct()&#39;); //$bar = new barClass(&#39;var for __construct()&#39;);

This is what I want to do. How would you do it? I could off course use eval() like this:

    $var = &#39;bar&#39;;
    eval(&#39;$bar = new &#39;.$var.&#39;Class(\&#39;var for __construct()\&#39;);&#39;);

But I&#39;d rather stay away from eval(). Is there any way to do this without eval()?

instantiate a class from a variable in PHP?

I have enum and use the variables like `myEnum.SomeNameA`, `myEnum.SomeNameB`, etc.  When I return one of these variables from a function, can I print their names (such as `myEnum.SomeNameA`) instead of the value they returned?


How to print original variable&#39;s name in Python after it was returned from a function?

When writing my first asp.net MVC application using C#, I see that there are some variables whose name start with an underscore character(_).

What does this mean? Is there any specific meaning for this?

What does variable names beginning with _ mean?

Is there a way in Java&#39;s for-each loop

    for(String s : stringArray) {
      doSomethingWith(s);
    }

to find out how often the loop has already been processed?

Aside from using the old and well-known `for(int i=0; i &lt; boundary; i++)` - loop, is the construct

    int i = 0;
    for(String s : stringArray) {
      doSomethingWith(s);
      i++;
    }

the only way to have such a counter available in a for-each loop?

Is there a way to access an iteration-counter in Java&#39;s for-each loop?

I&#39;ve been told not to use `for...in` with arrays in JavaScript. Why not?


Why is using &quot;for...in&quot; for array iteration a bad idea?

How do I access the index in a `for` loop?

    xs = [8, 23, 45]

    for x in xs:
        print(&quot;item #{} = {}&quot;.format(index, x))

Desired output:

&lt;!-- language: none --&gt;

    item #1 = 8
    item #2 = 23
    item #3 = 45

Accessing the index in &#39;for&#39; loops

So I can start from `collection[len(collection)-1]` and end in `collection[0]`.

I also want to be able to access the loop index.

Traverse a list in reverse order in Python

I have a loop that is doing some error checking in my PHP code. Originally it looked something like this...

    foreach($results as $result) {
        if (!$condition) {
            $halt = true;
            ErrorHandler::addErrorToStack(&#39;Unexpected result.&#39;);
        }

        doSomething();
     }
    
    if (!$halt) {
        // do what I want cos I know there was no error
    }

This works all well and good, but it is still looping through despite after one error it needn&#39;t. Is there a way to escape the loop?



Can you &#39;exit&#39; a loop in PHP?

I try to be grammatically correct in my naming*.  I&#39;ve always used `filename` instead of `fileName`.  The java convention also seems to use this, but FxCop prefers `fileName`.

There&#39;s a [discussion on WikiPedia][1] about it.  The more I read, the more I feel I&#39;m right (which is quite usual! :) ).  Does anyone have a definitive answer or is this merely something subjective?

  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Filename#.22File_name.22_vs_.22Filename.22
 \* I just hope there are no grammar errors in this post!

Parameter naming: filename or fileName?

Basically when I have a python file like:

    python-code.py

and use:

    import (python-code)

the interpreter gives me syntax error.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Are dashes illegal in python file names?


Is it ok to use dashes in Python files when trying to import them?

For example in HTTP you send a request and receive a response; is there a noun that describes that request-response pair?

I&#39;d thought of &quot;dialog&quot; or &quot;conversation&quot; however those imply multiple request-response pairs, whereas I&#39;m looking for a word that indicates exactly one.

The reason for asking is that I need to name an object which encapsulates the details of both, and `RequestResponse` seems fairly lame.

What is a request-response pair called?

Which is the correct name for a system which stores versions of source code, like SVN or TFS? 

I&#39;ve always called it source control, but places like Wikipedia calls it revision control?

To make this more complicated sites like this one have a tag for both?

Source control vs. Revision Control?

What is the purpose of naming your constraints (unique, primary key, foreign key)?

Say I have a table which is using natural keys as a primary key:

    CREATE TABLE Order
    (
        LoginName        VARCHAR(50)    NOT NULL,
        ProductName      VARCHAR(50)    NOT NULL,
        NumberOrdered    INT            NOT NULL,
        OrderDateTime    DATETIME       NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY(LoginName, OrderDateTime)
    );

What benefits (if any) does naming my PK bring?

Eg.
Replace:

        PRIMARY KEY(LoginName, OrderDateTime)

With:

        CONSTRAINT Order_PK PRIMARY KEY(LoginName, OrderDateTime)

Sorry if my data model is not the best, I&#39;m new to this!
