Come again? To pee or not to pee? If you gotta go, you gotta go...

Bah, did they move it again? I told them not to, but they wouldn't listen. Aside from that note, I think it's more to the right than england, so you could say it's part of eastern europe.

The SCRUM meetings I had so far never lasted longer than about 15 minutes with 10 people. This is already a rather large team to do SCRUM with, but you should be able to keep the amount of time down a bit. The way we manage time during a standup is to move large issues to a separate offline discussion of which a summary is reported in the next standup meeting. Otherwise things tend to get hasty and counter-productive. People want to move and get on with their work ;)

You can execute the following command to use your specific #define variable. For example:

msbuild /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Release /p:DefineConstants=YourDefineStatement YourSolution.sln

This will rebuild the specified solution. It will result in a release build with the YourDefineStatement specified as preprocessor define statement.

Sometimes code is shockingly similar to life itself. Now where did I put that VBA macro to bend the matrix back into shape?

You can add panels dynamically to a form by doing something similar to the following: Form parentForm; // Set this to the form you want the panels added to

foreach(var drawing in Drawings)
{
MyCustomPanel myPanel = new MyCustomPanel();
myPanel.Drawing = drawing;

// Set the location and size to the values you need

parentForm.Controls.Add(myPanel);
}

The trick here is to create a custom control derived from panel that will paint the drawing you assign to it. Here's a basic skeleton to get you on the way

public class MyCustomPanel: Panel
{
public Drawing Drawing { get; set; }

protected override void OnPaint(object sender,PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Draw the image here using e.Graphics
}
}

Sadly this can get quite complex. There's a project here on the site that implemented something similar. The best option is to search for MyXaml. It's an opensource XAML parser that contains code to do this. I hope this helps.

Gotta love the smell of a good scam in the morning. On second thought, I'd rather have baked eggs and a cup of coffee.

So it was astala Vista and back to a windows with eXPerience?

The reason for choosing option 1 is pretty simple in my opinion. Merging can be quite a harsh job, since the changesets for whole new features can get very big. And it becomes even harder when working with multiple branches. I've used option 2, but it was a complete nightmare!

Good luck with that :D

And that without service stations and gas stations ;P

Dude you just made me waste 30 minutes of my time!! But love the game!

It almost looks like a random hit on the keyboard, although it is kinda hard to achieve the combination you used ;P

I'm going away for long weekend with my parents, brother and sister. Haven't seen them in a while, so this should be fun. I really don't want to talk about coding right now. It simply sucks at the moment.

Ah that thing that is gathering dust in the corner. Well, I have to agree on that. CNN is shouty and you are distracted big time by all the tickers and so called "breaking news"

WM. My blog

It must be my monitor settings, because the homepage of CNN doesn't look all that bright and distractive to me. Then again I only checked the homepage and didn't bother to browse any further.

I've seen the slow typing behavior in the past. But that was with version 1.0 and I was hoping they improved that :)

Heh, I'm just as lazy as the next developer. It should make me more productive, at least thats what they are saying. That statement holds true when you look at the nice refactoring tricks they have. Otherwise sometimes, change, compile, fix, compile, fix, etc is the only way to get a component refactored. Other than that, I think I could work just fine without it and deliver the same quality.

Already have them in a box. MSDN licenses are way cool!
