After being a bit disappointed about the registration process of Chrome the last time I tried it, the nice folks at RemObjects provided me with the latest beta of Chrome 1.5 (thanks to Marc Hoffman). One thing upfront: the registration wizard which popped up when starting the first Chrome project has been removed. That’s great […]
The new free VMware Player could be a great tool for ISVs to help prospective customers evaluate their software easier and faster (just as I noted in my last posting). ISVs could offer fully preconfigured virtual machines with their trial software and interested users could get the software up and running in just a minute. […]
Today I’d like to share my experiences of programmatically integrating .NET assemblies into a couple of IDEs, mainly Visual Studio and Delphi. I think it might be useful for some of you.
Originally, the integration of the SmartInspect .NET assembly into the supported IDEs was simple. There was just a single registry key which needed to […]
VMware Inc. just announced the release of their new product VMware Player. VMware Player can be downloaded for free and lets anyone use preconfigured virtual machines without buying VMware Workstation. For those who do not know what VMware Workstation is, it’s a virtualization software to ‘emulate’ a computer. You can run multiple copies of Windows […]
We are currently waiting for the releases of Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0, so that we can do the final testing before publishing SmartInspect 1.2. Having a bit of free time now, I thought it would be a good idea to try out Chrome, an Object Pascal language for .NET. I like Pascal’s syntax […]
For those of you who have been wondering what we have been doing since the SmartInspect 1.1 release, here is a short preview of the upcoming version. We focused on a new Redistributable Console, .NET 2.0 support, Visual Studio 2005 and Eclipse integration.
Redistributable Console
An often requested feature is a Console edition for distribution to end-users. […]
We’ve been playing with FastMM4 and its debugging capabilities this evening. They are quite impressive: you can get detailed listings of memory leaks with callstack information and see who’s responsible for it, get informed about invalid memory usages and so on. And this without using any additional memory profilers or other tools, you just need […]
I’ve just changed the archive section of this blog. It now groups postings by month and displays their headlines only instead of showing them completely. Much easier to read and to find information now. Hope you find it useful.
If you are into Borland Delphi somehow, you probably already know what FastMM4 is. But for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, I give a short explanation.
In Delphi applications, you have a so called memory manager which is responsible for allocating and deallocating memory. By default, Delphi applications use the […]
For quite some time now we have been evaluating product ideas for our second software product. Over the last six months we had many brainstorming sessions, surfed hours and hours to evaluate product ideas and watched out for useful tools during our normal development activities. Finding the right product idea is very important for several […]
