- paxScript.NET .A Script Might Be Everywhere — The implementation of many software projects requires at least two different languages: an industry-level one for the project’s core, its powerful «engine», and a scripting language, which would be interpreted when the program is running. Scripting languages are typically simpler and slower than the industrial ones, but they have their own area of application. These languages are often used when the advanced users or third-party…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- RemBoot - The Remote Reboot Utility. — Serious work with remote Windows servers sometimes suffers from lack of control over those servers. Of course, letting just about ANYBODY to control your server is not the greatest idea. But the owner and administrator of the server often feel that their hands are tied when the computer is miles away, the support team is fast asleep and unlikely to respond quickly to a pager, and all that is needed is a quick system rebooot…
- Auto Debug Professional V4.0. Watch How It Works — The analysis of other programs’ functionality is a usual activity of the majority of programmers. In most cases, such analysis ought to be done without program source codes (sometimes even without any documentation). The reasons may vary. For example, you may need to know why (on which action) program fails; or what resources it tries to use (and possibly can’t); or just «how this effect was achieved»…
- Country Codes 2.7, Data at Fingertips — In today’s vague times of «common» unlimited broadband Internet connection (which is not so common, really) and «modern cool» web-services it is thought that one doesn’t have to store on one’s computer information one can find on web. People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT. Although Notepad is light and easy to use, you can hardly recognize your even own code in it: no syntax highlighting or line numbering, and some important characters may even fail to appear. Is there a way to edit a code block without having to run those heavy development…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task. If you want one powerful yet compact solution for the problem which can be used virtually with any programming language, take a look…
- Beyond Remote Support, Focus on Problem, Not on Getting to It — Solving a tricky problem on a remote box is often not as hard as getting to that problem. Helping a newbie to obtain, install and run a remote assistance program sometimes may be harder than resolving the original problem. A remote assistance application has got to be something really easy, not harder than making just a few mouse clicks. This idea was picked up by Data Apples Corp., and they came up with…
- EMCO Remote Desktop Professional — Administering networks is something all system administrators do on a daily basis. Unfortunately, minor issues and major problems tend to happen from time to time and in most cases require immediate and resolute actions, as any network downtimes affect the whole company and its clients.
