I've stumbled upon a free .Net obfuscator --Eazfuscator.NET. So far, it works well for my purposes. Most obfuscators are costly--ranging from $200 to $2000! But this one is freeware and it works better than the free one bundled with Visual Studio 2005. It is free and easy to use!

Okay, after almost a year and an offshore assignment, I finally had a chance to update this blog. I was developing a .Net 2.0 C# windows application wherein I basically have to print PDF files from a Windows application.

I've just finished downloading Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 bits last night and I think I'm about ready to install it on my VPC (yup, I don't want to install it yet on my real machine.). I'm really excited about this new release since it looks really really promising. I've seen blogs...

My current task in our project is majorly in MSSQL. I wanted to debug a chain of stored procedures and I have just found out that MS has removed debugging tools out of SQL Server 2005 client tools and relied more on visual studio's. I have experienced debugging both from SQL Server 2005 Query Analyzer...

I recently wrote a short article as an overview to why regular expressions should be in every developer's toolbox. I actually left the real discussion of regex to other experts so I used a lot of link-love. [:-)] Seeing that Mike Malone posted an advanced regex article, I decided to put up that short...

Jetbrains has just released their beta version of Resharper 3.0, download it here . Again, VB.NET guys out there, you should try Resharper since it now supports your language. Resharper 3.0 will now come into three versions (C#, VB and Full edition). I will be upgrading my copy to just the C# version...

if you're a keyboard junkie, you might have mistaken to close that Visual Studio Tool Window (resharper's find usage is a prime candidate) with an Alt+F4 keystroke and when you don't have any changes to save, your slow VS which took you almost a minute to load is now closed. Next time, just...

i'm sure you have experienced debugging an ICollection type and couldn't see the values included in the said collection, recursively expanding nodes in your QuickWatch just like this: i just found this forum post about it here using visualizers, and it's good that some of the classes in the...

I was stumped by what seemed like a very simple problem that I was beginning to lose some self-esteem :-( I was sure it was a simple problem but for the life of me, I couldn't make it work. So what was it? I was trying to publish the .NET implementation of the Petshop 4.0 application to my local IIS...

All I had to do was give it the URL for my blog [http://community.devpinoy.org/blogs/velocity] and my username + password and it will try to guess the web blog provider as well as download...

I encountered this problem last week, wherein the LINQ project templates were missing in the "New Project" dialog of VS2005 Team System even after doing "everything" (machine reboot, "install IDE support", etc.). By searching the web (through the help of our trusty buddy, "google"), i was able to determine...
