START

Hello! I am a C# programmer just like you are. My primary professional interest is software development (Requirements engineering, process, solution engineering … Whole thing).

I’m creating this blog as a convenient tool to post all the small things which I have used during software development.

After some time I have found that it’s difficult to remember exact procedure which I have already used to solve some problem. Let me mention one example. Recently I have encountered situation with web application using Microsoft rsweb:ReportViewer component on closed-down network. Closed down network is the network which can’t access internet. When the user clicks on print link for the first time, rsweb:ReportViewer component is initiating installation of the RSClientPrint ActiveX control in order to provide print functionality. This is automated process and it works just fine if you have Internet connection. The RSClientPrint control is downloaded and installed without any intervention from the user. If you don’t have internet connection, situation is quite different. You need to manually copy some files to specific folders in order to provide this functionality. As I already mentioned it’s easy to forget which files, from where and where to copy and in matter of fact I’m not remembering this things at all. This is why am I starting this blog.

Please if you think that some of my postings are having errors, don’t be lazy, type the correct procedure and please explain what was the error I my procedure.

So let’s start posting!
