Here are some suggestions for the fresh graduates and the college freshmen on how to become a good programmer.
Yes. Install it in its own folder and configure the directory it resides in as an application in IIS.
Some hosting providers may not allow the level of trust used in BlogEngine.NET by default. If you receive an error similar to:
You can try one of the following to resolve the issue:
In the default Standard theme, edit the content of this section by clicking “edit” in on the side bar of your blog.
An alternative way to display About the Author information is to create a ‘Page’ in the control panel. The Title of the Page can be About the Author. Enter information about the author in the WYSIWYG editor. Once the page has been created, you can add a link to the About page on your blog. This can be achieved by adding a Page List widget, or by adding a TextBox widget with a hyperlink to the About page, or by editing your theme file (site.master) and adding a hyperlink to the About page.
Yes. BlogEngine.NET is built by passionate developers who have too much spare time, just to make an open source blog engine to give away absolutely free.
Yes. We have gone to great lengths to make BlogEngine.NET as easy as possible to use – both from an end user as well as a developer or theme designer’s point of view.
The only thing needed to run BlogEngine.NET is a web server that support ASP.NET 2.0 and write permissions on the App_Data folder.
None. BlogEngine.NET uses XML to store all posts, pages etc. by default. However, if you prefer to use a database, BlogEngine.NET includes a “DbBlogProvider” that allows you to store data in databases which support standard SQL — MS SQL Server, MySql, SQLite and Vista DB among many others. Configuration changes necessary to store data in a SQL Server database can be found. If there isn’t a data provider already available, you can easily write your own provider. We have enginereed our framework to make this very easy and simple to do.
If you’re just starting off with BlogEngine.NET, all of your data will be stored in XML files in your App_Data folder. Some web hosts such as GoDaddy who have an automatic BlogEngine.NET setup option, might setup your blog so data is stored in a database instead. If your blog is new, you don’t yet have any data, and you want to switch from XML storage to Database storage
Visual Studio 2010 is set to be released in April. Microsoft has made significant investments to improve the “Testing”, “Architecture”, and “Developer” tools within Visual Studio to make it an even more powerful productivity solution.
VS 2010 Webinar Session Overviews:
| TITLE | DESCRIPTION |
| Full Testing Experience: Professional QA with Visual Studio 2010 | Join us as we demonstrate the testing and quality assurance lifecycle using Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server. We’ll dive into the testing tools and testing process you can use to dramatically improve the effectiveness of your QA and Test efforts. You’ll see the Microsoft Test and Lab Manager (MTLM) in all its glory as we explore how to manage your test environment, organize test suites, test cases, requirements and bugs, and how to manage both automated and manual test runs. In addition, you’ll see how to easily create an automated test from an existing manual test run. Finally, and most importantly, you’ll discover how insanely easy it is to create bugs that can be simply and reliably reproduced by developers – VS 2010 is that powerful. |
| Improving Development Practices with Visual Studio 2010 | This is an overview of the new development and database tools in Visual Studio 2010. New capabilities of historical debugging, code analysis, profiling and the new test impact analysis will be demonstrated. Working with Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010, gated-check-in will be discussed as well as the tester/developer collaboration experience. The new architect tools will be demonstrated to facilitate a better understanding of how modeling is a part of the development experience. |
| Lab Manager – The Ultimate “No More No Repro” Tool | Designing, building and testing code is a hard job. A job made even harder by the fact that most organizations don’t have development and test environments that are clean, easily reset and similar to the production environment. Enter virtualization…and Lab Manager. Lab manager allows you to define, configure and create complete development or test environments as needed. It can coordinate both physical and virtual environments, and comes with an incredibly powerful suite of effective tools that make managing environments simple and cost effective. Attend this webcast event to see Lab Manager in action! |
| Managing Requirements with Team Foundation Server 2010 | Requirements management is a struggle for many organizations. A distinction must be drawn between requirements elicitation, requirements documentation and requirements management. Team Foundation Server provides rich capabilities for managing requirements and can easily be integrated with your preferred tools for documenting requirements. Best practices of requirement elicitation, documentation, management and traceability will be discussed in the context of the requirement lifecycle and how TFS 2010 and third party tools can maximize your overall requirements management process. |
| Overview of Visual Studio 2010 ALM Tools | This overview of Visual Studio 2010 highlights the difference between Team System 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.

I think most of us are quite familiar with binary search. Binary search is an algorithm for locating the position of an element in a sorted list by checking the middle, eliminating half of the list from consideration, and then performing the search on the remaining half.If the middle element is equal to the sought value, then the position has been found; otherwise, the upper half or lower half is chosen for search based on whether the element is greater than or less than the middle element. The method reduces the number of elements needed to be checked by a factor of two each time, and finds the target value, if it exists in logarithmic time. A binary search is a dichotomy divide and conquer search algorithm.
In C#, .Net provide a List<T>.BinarySearch Method (T) which can be used easily. here is a demo:
1: // Init a long type list
2: var myList = new List<long>();
3: foreach (var item in "269, 361, 347, 355, 352, 346, 351, 354".Split(','))
4: {
5: myList.Add(long.Parse(item.Trim()));
6: }
7:
8: // sort
9: myList.Sort();
10: var ret = myList.BinarySearch(347);
11: Console.WriteLine(ret);
Note, I have a ‘myList.Sort();’ before call the BinarySearch, why? It is because BinarySearch will Search the entire sorted System.Collections.Generic.List<T> for an element using the default comparer and returns the zero-based index of the element.
Yes, it is sorted list that binary search will operate on! So remember make your list sorted before call binary search function
