Microsoft Visual Studio "Debug" VS "Release" mode

When we want to deploy our web application to live/local server, then we have two options for making built – Release mode and Debug mode. Both the modes have own importance and characteristics. The details about Release mode and Debug mode are as.

Debug Mode
Developer use debug mode for debugging the web application on live/local server. Debug mode allow developers to break the execution of program using interrupt 3 and step through the code. Debug mode has below features:

• Less optimized code
• Some additional instructions are added to enable the developer to set a break-point on every source code line.
• More memory is used by the source code at run-time.
• Scripts & images downloaded by webresource.axd are not cached.
• It has big size, and runs slower.

Release Mode
Developer use release mode for final deployment of source code on live server. Release mode Dlls contain optimized code and it is for customers. Release mode has below features:

• More optimized code
• Some additional instructions are removed and developer can’t set a break-point on every source code line.
• Less memory is used by the source code at run-time.
• Scripts & images downloaded by webresource.axd are cached.
• It has small size, and runs fast.

There is no difference in functionality of a debug dll and a release dll. usually, when we compile code in debug mode, we have a corresponding .pdb (program database) file. This .pdb file contains information that enables the debugger to map the generated IL (intermediate language) to source code line number. It also contains the names of local variables in the source code.

The Release mode enables optimizations and generates without any debug data, so it is fully optimized. . Lots of your code could be completely removed or rewritten in Release mode. The resulting executable will most likely not match up with your written code. Because of this release mode will run faster than debug mode due to the optimizations.

Notepad as Programming Text Editor

Friends, do you know that notepad serves as a HEX and Binary editor. Yes, it does. !!!

If you do not have an programming text editor or a Binary Editor then you can make many changes to system configuration files or make your own using notepad.

Now using a notepad will tell you how to format an HDD. Consider it one of the first steps in learning. But please use it only to make your repair/debugging work on your Windows System simpler, and not to infect others.

Steps for Drive formating using Notepad :

1) Copy The Following In Notepad Exactly as it says "Only 'Zero' and 'One' without space.
    01001011000111110010010101010101010000011111100000
2) Save file as an EXE.
3) It's Done.. Run the EXE to format the current partition.

Note : Do not try it on your PC. Don’t mess around with this is for educational purpose only. And please backup your data before experimenting.

Extracting text from a bunch of =EMBED(“Forms.HTML:Text.1”,“”) in Excel

Sub ExtractData()
Dim obj

    For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
        If obj.progID = "Forms.HTML:TextArea.1" Then
            me.Range("A1").Value = obj.Object.Value 
             ''' change the Range as required
        End If
    Next o
End Sub

SendKeys Method

This method places keystrokes in a key buffer. In some cases, you must call this method before you call the method that will use the keystrokes. For example, to send a password to a dialog box, you must call the SendKeys method before you display the dialog box.

The Keys argument can specify any single key or any key combined with ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT (or any combination of those keys). Each key is represented by one or more characters, such as "a" for the character a, or "{ENTER}" for the ENTER key.

To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press the corresponding key (for example, ENTER or TAB), use the codes listed in the following table. Each code in the table represents one key on the keyboard.

ey	Code
BACKSPACE	{BACKSPACE} or {BS}
BREAK	{BREAK}
CAPS LOCK	{CAPSLOCK}
CLEAR	{CLEAR}
DELETE or DEL	{DELETE} or {DEL}
DOWN ARROW	{DOWN}
END	{END}
ENTER (numeric keypad)	{ENTER}
ENTER	~ (tilde)
ESC	{ESCAPE} or {ESC}
HELP	{HELP}
HOME	{HOME}
INS	{INSERT}
LEFT ARROW	{LEFT}
NUM LOCK	{NUMLOCK}
PAGE DOWN	{PGDN}
PAGE UP	{PGUP}
RETURN	{RETURN}
RIGHT ARROW	{RIGHT}
SCROLL LOCK	{SCROLLLOCK}
TAB	{TAB}
UP ARROW	{UP}
F1 through F15	{F1} through {F15}

You can also specify keys combined with SHIFT and/or CTRL and/or ALT. To specify a key combined with another key or keys, use the following table.

To combine a key with	Precede the key code with
SHIFT	+ (plus sign)
CTRL	^ (caret)
ALT	% (percent sign)

Example

This example uses the SendKeys method to quit Microsoft Excel.

Application.SendKeys("%fx")

Windows 7 Cool Feature – Problem Steps Recorder (PSR)

It seems that Microsoft is coming up with something nice interesting tools in Windows 7. We are talking about feature that is called “Problem Steps Recorder”.

Problem Steps Recorder can be used to automatically capture the steps performed by a user on a computer, including a text description of where they clicked and a picture of the screen during each click. This capture is then automatically saved to a file that can be used by a support professional to help the user troubleshoot the issue or understand what steps were taken by the user.


To Start the Problem Steps Recorder : In the tradition of all of Microsoft’s handiest utilities, the Problem Steps Recorder isn’t plainly visible in the Start menu. To run it, you’ll need to open the Run dialogue box by hitting Win + R, and then typing psr.exe (below, top). In a pinch, you can also search for PSR at the bottom of the Start menu.

In any case, PSR is more than just a screenshot capturing tool. Besides automating the capturing of what’s going on the screen, it will also highlight the user’s mouse clicks, and, most importantly, will provide a detailed textual metadata with a description of what the user is doing.
