I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2012. I need to be able to use different commercial components for different projects. For instance, one client might need me to use UI components from Developer Express. Another might want me to use Telerik components.
Truth is, I rarely would need to load all of them. I'd really like the ability to load just the sets of components I want without having to bear the time it takes to load all of them each time I start Visual Studio.
I was wondering if there's anyway I can create customized loading scenarios. For example, start VS with component packages a, b, and c or perhaps start it with a, b, d, and e?
Thanks for any pointers.

Is there any information on how to create your own datasources for xpages? I'm busy developing a java API for a system of ours and I would like to be able to use the data as a datasource within xpages.
There was a Lotusphere 2011 session SHOW107 that walked you through the steps. Read about it on Jim's blog, the BleedYellow community, an excellent slideck from Paul (and related) as well as SHOW107 itself.
One caveat: The data sources don't show their fields in the Domino Designer. If you want that functionality then, instead of looking at com.ibm.xsp.extlib.model.ObjectDataSource you would subclass the DominoDocument and more or less overwrite all functions.
You could look in the source code of the extension library. There you will find the class com.ibm.xsp.extlib.model.ObjectDataSource as an easy example.

When is the use of C/C++ more appropriate than the use of very high level programming languages like python?
Countless reasons...
You need to use an essential library that works best in C or C++
You are not interested in learning a new language
You need to access system APIs or resources not available in Python
Your project structure is better suited for the syntax of C or C++
You want to use features of C or C++ that you cannot get in Python, most notably compile-time checks. Or you know, switch statements.
External tool support, for example static analysis is much harder for Python.
Performance
The project is already written in C++ and you don't want to port it
You want to ensure that it can be run on a minimal installation without an interpreter
You need debugging info from the client machine in the form of a debuggable minidump
You just don't like Python

I a UX designer exploring the Masonry interface for a project.
I want to upload my own blocks (photos of various sizes), and play around with the parameters to see how they influence the layout. I've looked for an online demo with an "upload" option, but couldn't find one.
If you go to http://masonry.desandro.com/ it has a number of demos there along with the code to download.
Hope this helps.
You can find a version here: http://benholland.me/javascript/how-to-build-a-site-that-works-like-pinterest/. There is also the wookmark jquery plugin which is free and less heavy: http://www.wookmark.com/jquery-plugin. Here is an example of a 2d-bin-packing in JS: http://incise.org/2d-bin-packing-with-javascript-and-canvas.html. There is also packagery from the same developer.
I would use Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express and make a localhost site with Desandro's masonry.js. found here. Its pretty simplistic to use. I had to put the script code before the end </body> tag to make it function correctly, but it might be different in other applications. And you have to get jquery.js, Desandro, (the coder for masonry) tells you how to implement it on his site.
Masonry.js is free to use, however isotope is non commercial unless you pay $25 to use it commercially.

With ExpressionEngine, do you ever edit code with an editor or is it all within EE? [closed]

Just a quick question, I'm getting the idea that you don't. Why is this, and is there a way to? And why would you?
I never code within the browser. The only reason to code in the EE CP would be if you're editing a snippet or global variable, and even then there are addons that will move those to flat files.
Take a look at this user guide on how to save templates as flat files: http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/templates/templates_as_files.html Saving templates as files will also allow you to better version your template code with your VCS of choice.
When moving to a production environment you may want to consider syncing your template files to the database - as that may speed things up a tiny bit.

I was wondering if users that are using Kohana primarily to explain how they go from planing to deployment in Kohana. Why do you use Kohana instead of the other frameworks that you tried.
I have a base setup that I continually refine that includes all the basic stuff that I need for my projects. The cascading file system that Kohana uses makes this very simple. You can see something similar at http://github.com/synapsestudios/kohana-projecttemplate.
I converted from CI and stayed because everything felt simpler using PHP5 OOP concepts the way they should be. Plus the ORM helped me get models set up very quickly.
