As you might know my brother Mathieu moved to Australia at
the begining of this year. After some time visiting the country (The
Northern Territory, Les
WithSundays et les environs de Cairn, Byron
Bay, Les
Blue Mountains, Innisfail
et les bananes), he started searching for a job and finally found one in
Perth. Congratulation Mathieu
!!! I am really proud of what you are doing.
He just sent me a picture of
his new office :-)
I told you Mathieu that there is no wifi in the bush ;-)
I saw that picture in the train station of Basel/Switzerland with Didier driving to work and we laught
so much that I had to post it. In fact the picture is an advert. How could it
represents better a IT job in Australia ?
Great news from Jetbrains tonight with the launch of the
ReSharper 2.0 EAP started. You can download the version for Visual Studio 2003
and Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and VS 2005 June CTP are supported on this
page. I can't work anymore without that tool . There is for sure some
refactoring capabilities in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, but it is far from
being enough.
Build 201 (Changes from ReSharper
1.5)
- Support of Visual Studio 2005 (Beta 2 and June CTP are currently
supported)
- Support of C# 2.0 constructs (for Visual Studio 2005) - not all constructs
are properly supported yet
- Support of ASP.NET - in progress, not all features work properly
- New preprocessor directives handling (no errors caused by use of
preprocessor directives anymore!)
- New warning highlightings: redundant 'as' type cast; redundant empty
constructor; sealed member in sealed class; new virtual member in ....; 'new'
modifier is missing; redundant 'new' modifier; redundant boolean comparison;
redundant qualifiers; local or parameter hides member; empty control statement
body
- More syntax errors highlighted
- Lots of new quickfixes
- Quickly enable/disable highlighting for particular file (Ctrl+8)
- Support for templates sharing, import/export, etc
- "Create template from selection" feature
- Line wrapping
- Code style settings: support for sharing, import/export
- Unit tests support (NUnit, csUnit, TeamTest tests are supported)
- "Go to Symbol" feature - Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N (the same as
Ctrl+N and Ctrl+Shift+N but navigates
to all types and members)
- Quick-documentation feature (Ctrl+Q) shows popup with
documentation for symbol under caret (also works within doc-comment to show
presentable form of it)
- File structure view with reqions, drag&drop etc
- Mouse-click on implements/overrides/hides gutter icons to navigate
- Rename refactoring suggests to rename overloaded methods
- Rename refactoring suggests to rename the corresponding property when
renaming field and vise versa
- Code completion after dot shows indexers
- Code completion in namespace declarations
You can check the whole plan for ReSharper 2.0 on
this page.
First project about Team System is a book that I started with my friend
Kader
Yildirim. We had a first contact with one editor and were disapointed a bit
because we were told that there is no 'market' for such a book. I really think
that there is, because Team System is an awesome tool. Nevermind we will
continue to search an editor. By the way if you are interested, please feel free
to contact me. One side
note, the book will be written in French.
The second project with my brother Mathieu is to
update our website Tech Head
Brothers to use ASP.NET 2. Currently Mathieu
is located in Sydney, Australia and will soon move to Perth, Australia because
he found a new job there. So to work on such condition we need really good tools
to communicate, Groove Virtual
Office, Skype and MSN
Messenger. Ok with those tools we can have in real time discussions, share
idea, even share documents in online/offline mode. But we missed a Software
Development Lifecycle Tool (SDLC). At the time of the website version written in
ASP.NET 1.0/1.1, we had tried several solutions from Visual SourceSafe over
Internet, over VPN, then we moved to CVS because it was too slow. We also had Draco.NET...
Now our solution is the following one:
- One Windows 2003 Server with Virtual Server and Team System installed on
it (Thanks to Fox). We used the Visual Studio 2005 Team System Beta 2 VPC
provided during the Tech Ed 2005 in Amsterdam.
- A512/128 Kb ADSL internet connection access to the server with a
dynamic ip, thanks to DynDNS
- Mathieu is using a custom installation of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2
installion in a Virtual PC on his notebook
- I am also using a VPC with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 installed
After one week of usage I have to say that it is working not so bad. For sure
we have issues because of the adsl connection that get disconnected and DynDNS
taking a bit time to update to the new IP. But I am ashtonished about the way it
works and I like the source repository and the work items.

Windows Desktop Search, which is installed with MSN Search Toolbar, will
find anything on your computer ; e-mail messages, calendar appointments,
photos, documents, and more. Searching your computer is as fast and easy as
searching the Web, and the Desktop Search results window includes rich Windows
Explorer features, such as multi-select, right-click, and drag-and-drop
functionality.
Windows Desktop Search can be extended to index the contents of new file
types and data sources. The user interface can be extended by associating
icons and context-menu handlers with those items.
Also, queries can be passed into the Windows Desktop Search application and
returned so that other applications can display the result sets from within
the application.
This
document explains these beta extensibility options and their
implementation.
The first things that pop-up was Groove.
It would be really great to be able to search accross all groove workspaces to
find documents, discussions entries, pictures... I think that Groove would be a fantastic new data
source.
The only problem is that you need to implement the data source in C++, back
to the roots.
