Is there a possiblity to use named pipes from NSIS? If so how can you do it? I could not find anything on the web so I have big doubts this is even possible.
You can call the windows API directly with the system plugin but for a big task it is usually better to write a custom plugin.
What do you want to use named pipes for?
You can create simple plugin which will perform all tasks you need.

noobie question here. I've been writing a program in python3.5.1 and I'm managing pretty well with the built in libraries like tkinter but I'm starting to want to use libraries that aren't built in with python3.5.1.
The problem with this is that as far as I can tell if I use a library that isn't built into python the users of my program will have to download the library as well. Which would be a major pain in the ass for a lot of users. Am I correct in assuming this? Is there a way to work around this?
I don't mind having to download the stuff myself, but I would like my users to be able to run my program with just basic python3.5.1.
Thanks
Users need to download your program. And many Python programs do consist of multiple source files. In some cases you can simply include the external libraries you use with the files you're shipping to the user. But this may not work well if the libraries contain compiled C code and you're targeting multiple platforms.
Alternatively, you can simply document which packages users need to install to use your program. They can then use whatever system package manager they have, or PIP, etc.
Can we hot deploy *.xml files by using JREBEL?
In out project most of work is done through XML and we are planning to use JREBEL for the same.
The short answer:
Yes, you can.
The long answer:
It actually depends on the nature of those XML files, what your application is doing with those files. Are those the configuration files which might be used in order to populate some application specific structures? If so, then those internal structures have to be reinitialized. This is possible either by implementing a plugin for JRebel or by adding a callback method which can be called by JRebel once a class is reloaded.
Could you please provide more details about your use case?
I am planning to create a Licensing Module which can be commonly used for all Desktop Applications. So i thought of making it so simple without any or less coding in the existing applications which are going to be activated by this Licensing Module.
So is there any way where if the user passes the exe location, the system should capture the exe available in the particular location, and the system should get all the windows forms available inside that exe?
Am not sure whether it is possible or not but i need to know whether there is any way to do it. It would be helpful for me to develop this with less complications.
You can read the actual executable image data from its path and in case, its a managed (.NET) executable, you can use the metadata to do some analysis. In this case, you can browse through all types within the executable assembly (and perhaps other assemblies from the same directory) and find out the number of classes/types that are inherited from System.Windows.Forms.Form.
However, considering that these applications are probably in your control, the saner approach would be have an public API in these executable that will provide you the relevant information.
Guys i found a solution for this....i used the following method...
Assembly SampleAssembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("Assembly path here");
// Display all the types contained in the specified assembly.
foreach (Type oType in SampleAssembly.GetTypes())
{
Console.WriteLine(oType.Name);
}
this worked perfectly for me....
VinayC thanks for your support buddy...really appreciate it....:)
How you manage/organize your collection of code snippets on Linux? Is there a specialized tool to do that (both in GUI and CLI environment)? Is there any convention about code snippet management in Linux? Also, I often do some work via ssh so it would be really helpful if I can access my snippet easily from command line. I just moved to Linux for several months and still got to learn a lot about software development in Linux.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks!
I think this is what you are looking for: Snippely and jCodeCollector
I use Snippely on my mac, it awesome.
Update: Moved to Dash for mac: http://kapeli.com/dash
You could use Code Barrel to do that. For GUI based you could use the webapp but for CLI you could write scripts using the API. There is a plugin for Eclipse based IDEs as well.
Are there any auto compiling scripts like the ones used at ideone.com and codepad.org available?
(preferably open source, and which execute the code in a safe environment.)
I don't think that they have special "autocompiling scripts". They could just be using normal compilers under a virtual machine for safety.
Or they could have developed something custom (Like Google app engine)
Update:
Apparently they are using normal compiler packages by Gentoo.
Why not to use Ideone API?
