I have a largish application that currently uses log4cxx as its logging system. However, these appears to be a dead project, and I cannot get it to work with Visual Studio 2013. As such, I am looking to move to log4net
Our project is a mixed C+/C# project, using .net 3.5, and the logging is pretty simple
What is the best way to handle this migration. Any particular problems that people would expect to see, any required changes to config files, etc.
Also, is there a simple tutorial on how to use log4net. Unless I'm misreading it, it appears to be a case of reading the source examples until you figure it out.

Since the generated java code doesn't fit all my needs, I would need to modify the templates (mainly in server). Small modifications are pretty straightforward but I was wondering if there is some tool to go from existing java code to this template.
We did modules for this use case, and I even did some specific ones for some clients. So this would be my favorite solution.
Then, I clearly see in our stats that many people are forking JHipster and modifying it - this is probably easier at first sight, but of course you'll have trouble when we release new versions, as you will have to sync your code with each new release.
I have created a C++ application using Pjsip Stack and my next step to create a plug-in,for which i am using firebreath. Being a newbee, I dont have any idea of including my C++ project in Firebreath application. Although I searched many links for over a week and tried stuff on my own, I couldnt come up with solution to my problem.
If I can get any guidance for the same I'll be grateful.
The first step is to learn how to write a firebreath plugin, which you can do by going to http://firebreath.org and following the tutorials. You need to keep a few things in mind, though:
Plugins have a different lifecycle than applications.
They start when the browser says and have to go away when the browser says and they can't block the main thread.
They run in a process that they don't own.
Global variables are shared between all instances of the plugin
There could be any number of said instances
Things like the current working directory should probably be left alone.
Turning an application into a plugin is more a process of porting than it is of embedding, and how hard it is depends on how well the application is written; remember that your plugin could be instantiated and destroyed many times before the process is unloaded, so if you have memory leaks it can be a major problem.
The main thing, though, as I said earlier, is just to learn how to write a firebreath plugin. You can best start that by looking at the examples in the repo (particularly fbtestplugin) and following the tutorial to create a new project, then just play until you figure it out. There is an IRC chat room and a google group where you can get help.
I have a Visual studio solution, which is designed using c# 4.0 .
I want to check the code quality for my solution and generate report out of it.
I tried the FxCop and i also got the report but i need the report something like this(from the image).
The rules compliance is 85% but in FxCop it only showed me the critical, error, etc.
I was not able to even deploy my project into SONAR because I had some timeout issue
coming for one of my project in the solution.
please someone help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if there's an equivalent of SonarQube for .NET projects, but if you really want such reporting (which I can understand, obviously!), you should rather ask questions on how to resolve your installation issue for SonarQube instead of searching for something else. There are plenty of organizations where big .NET solutions are successfully analyzed with SonarQube and the C# plugins, so there's no reason why it can't work for you!
You can find useful material on the net to help you on this. For instance, a blog post written by John M Wright about "setting up SonarQube for C# projects". John periodically updates his post, so the information should still be very relevant.
Have you tried the tool NDepend? It generates interactive reports about .NET code quality and code rules compliance. Here are some sample reports.
NDepend is also a tool integrated in Visual Studio (2017, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2010) that proposes a range of interactive features (graph, dependency matrix, code metrics visualization, code diff...). Another point about NDepend is that code rules are actually C# LINQ queries, so it is pretty easy to customize a default code rule or create your own code rules.
NDepend also integrates in VS Team Services and you'll get all code quality data from your VSTS UI instead of being redirected to a server.
I read that you have time-out problems analyzing your code base, maybe it is because your code base is pretty large. NDepend is optimized and it can analyze a very large code base and create a report in a few dozens of seconds (it takes around a minute to analyze the whole .NET Fx).
A 14 days full featured trial is available.

If you haven't already, I would suggest taking a look at my blog post on setting up SonarQube for C# projects: http://www.wrightfully.com/setting-up-sonar-analysis-for-c-projects/
The key to fixing your issue will be determining what the system is doing when the timeout occurs. Take a look at your log files and see what the last lines were before it timed out. It could be that your code is complex and just needs more time, in which case you can adjust the timeout values for whichever tool is running at the time.
Otherwise, I would suggest running whichever analysis tool (fxcop, gendarme, sytlecop, etc) was running when the timeout occurred outside of SonarQube. That is, run the tool directly from the commandline to see if it still times out or provides any additional information on the console.
Also, assuming you're using the sonar-runner tool to execute the SonarQube analysis, you can add the -X argument to the commandline, which will run it with debug-level logging enabled. This will create a LOT more log messages which may shed some additional light on the issue.
I'm trying to run sample projects (viz. BestSellers and Conference) that are present in MvvmCross v3 branch. I resolved the strong assembly reference issues successfully. However each time I run a sample project, I get System.TypeLoadException in MvxFullBinding and MvxValueConverterRegistryFiller classes.
Exception in MvxFullBinding class:
Exception in MvxValueConverterRegistryFiller class:
Is anybody able to run the sample projects successfully? How do I get around these exceptions?
It looks like you're running this as the 'Touch' projects from Visual Studio? In which case you are way ahead of what I've managed to achieve.
If that is correct, then I suspect that what you are seeing is that you have:
built proper PCLs built in VS/Windows against the portable reference assemblies
but these cannot be executed against the current MonoTouch/Xamarin.iOS runtime.
If you try, you may see issues like: iOS black screen and MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Type.op_Equality'
For some more info see 'almost portable binaries' on http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/almost-portable-binaries.html
There is 'proper' PCL support currently being worked on within XamLabs - so I am hopeful that there may be a solution to this problem arriving in the Xamarin.Android Alpha channel any day now - but don't expect this to be painless initially.
Of course, I might be wrong on this - this really is new territory and I will be fascinated to hear/read about your adventures. If you want to try to find more detail, then it may help to try looking deeper into the exception details, and looking into the console log trace on your mac.
For these two particular exceptions, I can confirm that both samples...
... although that is when I'm working on my Mac.
My Delphi Prism program needs to create and read and write into an inifile, but I think I noticed Delphi Prism doesn't really support any sort of Inifile structure. (Correct me if I am wrong.)
This leads me into talking about ShineOn library file, which supports inifile. However, it crashes the program when you run your program on Linux under Mono. It doesn't matter if I use any methods from ShineOn or not. As long as the ShineOn library file is listed under uses keyword, the program does not run but crash completely on Linux. Can you create inifile in Delphi Prism for .net that will work on window and Linux(Mono)? If so, how would you do it?
I did search for answer on the internet and Stackoverflow, which led to me C# Class INI file. I thought, it was promising until I noticed that it needs to load Kernel32.dll file to work. (Again correct me if I am wrong). Apparently, there is very little information on the Internet about Delphi Prism Inifile.
Actually you really shouldn't use .ini - Files in .NET (or Mono) environments at all. .NET and Mono offer complete App.config XML-Configuration infrastructure and you should leverage this for your applications. There are a lot of advantages because everything is available type safe and all is covered in the System.Configuration Namespace.
See http://nini.sourceforge.net/
It documented to work on both MS .NET and Mono
