I am using Visual Source Safe 2005 as my source control system. I need to take the code back-up. How to do that? Please guide me.

Seems like you are using VSS for the first time. Do read thru a few blogs on the basics of VSS.

I'm trying to run the same recipe twice with different attributes.
Is there a way to specify it in the run list?
Example:
"myRecipe":{
"run-list": "recipe[test], recipe[test]"
}
and the first one should have flag=false while second one should execute with flag=true.
No, that's not possible. You have to implement such logic in your recipe and e.g iterate over an array.
I answered a similar question previously:
The short version is, you need to modify your thinking. If you need to install software and configure it, you might do better to think about breaking it apart into two pieces.
Longer answer: have you taken a look at any of the cookbooks on the opscode community site? Many patterns recur and work that others have published could certainly be useful... Especially as you appear to be just starting out with chef.
I've also tried using resources:
define :installx, :cmd=>'good', :upgrade=>true do
Chef::Log.info('cmd = #{params[:cmd]}')
if params[:upgrade]
Chef::Log.info('upgrading...')
else
Chef::Log.info('installing...')
end
end
installx resource
installx "name" do
cmd "install 1"
upgrade true
end
and it errors out: "ERROR: Cannot find a resource for define"
This is pretty much right out of the official documentation. If anyone know what's causing this, please let me know.
Some of the Chef cookbook are written very well in my opinion such as the visualstudio cookbook from https://github.com/daptiv/visualstudio.
I do have a case when I need to run this recipe twice. I have to install Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 on a machine to compile different source code. These versions of Visual Studio have the exact same silent install process by point to an XML file so it was easy to make it work for 2012 and 2013.
I was able to create a Chef role file to override the attributes of the visualstudio cookbook to point my private Visual Studio 2012 ISO. That was easy. Then I created another Chef role file for installing 2013 to point to a separate Visual Studio 2013 ISO. Since Chef doesn't run the recipe twice it ends up only installing Visual Studio 2013. :(
It would suck if I have to make two local copies of the "visualstudio" cookbook.
I am looking for the old DDESpy tool.
Does anyone know where I could download it or something similar?
Found it: http://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2009/06_w26/153525/DDESPY.exe.txt
(rename to exe, remove txt extension)
It's part of Visual Studio 6, and isn't downloadable officially. You have to find a distribution of VS6.
This MSDN thread talks about replacing it with Spy++.
VS2012's resource designer doesn't seem to have a way to "expand" long strings of text/html.
I have to double-click each and every one line to expand it.
Knowing I have about 10,000 of these to do for this localization project, I'm going to go mad if I can't find a way to go from this:

If there isn't, please suggest some alternate tool, app, or method that will help me keep my sanity.
Try the Visual Studio Power Productivity Tools for some help there. I know they really enhanced it for opening and collapsing the solution folders so it might help you.
At our company we wrote a small utility to extract these resources from Visual Studio to package in the excel format that our translation company uses. It didn't take much to do that in .NET and it will certainly make your life easier in the long run.
Turns out Microsoft also has a Resource Refactoring Tool that looks like it makes it easy to pull resources out of the code and resx files into other formats. I have not tried this personally (where I have used the Productivity Tools) but it is worth looking into this option.
I am a web designer and developer but I don't know any scripting language. And I am looking for a robust web development WYSIWYG like software that can write code for me automatically in javascript and php.
Id go with dreamweaver because is has the design view as well as the code view. Aptana is more for developers rather than designers and developers. Dreamweaver will write some code for you (and you'll find out later that its crap!) so it'll get you used to the languages.
I used to work in Dreamweaver when I first started but now I can't get enough of Aptana.
WYSIWYG will only generate HTML page and a little JS at best. You need to know coding to offer interactive functionality.
You'll hate this answer but take some time to learn PHP and JavaScript - I stated off as a designer and tried to avoid code. Then instead of copying and pasting code hoping that it works I got to grips with the fundamentals of both languages and realised how easy it is and how there was nothing to fear.
Good resources are w3schools.com, stackoverflow (obviously) and my fav JavaScript books are DOM scripting by Jeremy Keith and Jeffrey Sambells and once you feel confident to learn some of the more advanced features of JavaScript, JavaScript Patterns by Stoyan Stefanov was helpful to me.
Like I say this doesn't actually answer your question. However Dreamweaver automatically produced a 700 line JS file for an interface action I wanted, using the resources above I did the same in an unobtrusive manner with 16 lines of code!
I realize this is an old thread but im sure the debate still rages on LOL... i've been a devote DW user for many many many years (Like since 2000 or so). I am a coder/developer... I never use DW auto complete or anything like that. Primarily the reason i've stuck with it is because my FTP is RIGHT THERE!... HOWEVER, LOL, I just ran into a problem where I needed to recover a file (all these years and i've never needed this feature). Anyway I just ran across this thread Recover Deleted Files in Aptana Studio 3? "By default Aptana Studio stores a history of up to 7 days if the file was within a project."... I guess i can live without having my ftp right there in the same program and just use filezilla. sigh lol. Also DW doesnt recognize keys which is a big let down but yea... anyway... I just started using Aptana Studio 3 so I hope I fall in love with it quickly lol I'm building my projects now :P
Well, just to clarify some stuff. Aptana does have ftp, and i even think it's easier to use than dreamweaver's ftp module...
I finally have my C++ Builder 2010 installation the way I want it, with all my components upgraded and installed. (touch wood)
I have been working with C++builder since version 1 and I know from countless previous traumatic experiences that this state of affairs could change in an instant. I would like to backup the installation and component set.
Is there a way to do this? A tool perhaps? A menu command that I have maybe missed all these years? I don't want to have to reinstall all the components from the bpl source again.
I make nightly backup images of my entire drive, I would like to do this for c++builder only if possible.
If it's a matter of simply copying files, which files would I need to copy? Are there entries in the registry that would need to be restored?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions
The HKCU\Software\CodeGear\BDS\7.0\ registry section contains the "known packages" subtree that contains which components you have installed. reg export/import should save you some trouble.
You'll also want to backup/restore the actual files referenced there as well.
It has been a while since I used C++ Builder, but I will make two suggestions...
1) run regedit and looks for "builder". You will probably find a hive like hk_local_machine/software/codegear or such. Export that and you can import it later
2) have a look at GExperts - is they don't have the exact solution, they still have some pretty useful (and free) tools
