I am using winform executable from release folder. when I am trying to change the value in the appName.exe.config it is not picking up. Instead its taking the old value that I used during compiling. Any thoughts ?

How to fix function (that validates input) from not reading a text file? [duplicate]

Trying out the Clion EAP on the Mac. How does one change the current working directory for a launched program? It appears to be set to the output directory of the binaries.
This can be changed via the Run -> Edit Configurations... dialog, just like Idea.
The mix of needing to make changes to CMakeLists.txt for so much of the configuration just threw me, and I've been hunting for a way to change it there, but this bit at least is consistent with the other IDEs, which is good.
Hopefully they'll improve the rest of the Project Settings in a similar fashion.
The "Working Directory" is where the executable starts. Modifying the "Working Directory" in the Configurations setting tells Clion to change to the "Working Directory" after the executable starts execution.
If you want to change where the executable starts execution you will need to add a line to the CMakesLists.txt file.
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
add_executable(TimeServer ${SOURCE_FILES})
Position in the cmakes file is important. If you add the set command after the add_executable it will not work. It must come before.
These answers are relatively old. Not sure when the feature was added but there's a very nice UI way to set the current working directory now.
I made a YouTube tutorial for my COSC1030 (Beginning C++) students but the solution is the same for everyone:

If you know your CLion fairly well and don't need a demo, here's a short-hand version: Edit Configurations (from drop-down menu at top right of screen), enter the directory you want to use in Working Directory or select via "..." pop-up.

Wrong paths in Codename One preferences

When I need to input a path in Codename One preferences, for example to set up the icon or the certificates to use, I use the browse button. However the path that is then filled up in the associated field leads to the jre (java runtime environnement) folder instead of the parent folder of the file I selected.
Moreover the path is preceded by "file:" where it should not be there.
Here is an example to make it clearer :
As a workaround I manually paste the folder path where the file I want to use resides, and then paste it in the field. So as it is a little bit annoying, I was wondering if I could do something to make it work as it should ?
Please note : my setup involves Eclipse Mars running under Linux 64 with Oracle's Java 8 JDK.
Any help appreciated,
This seems to be related to this issue, I wasn't able to reproduce it in full although I did fix the file: prefix. The paths I got were correct despite all my attempts.
My only guess is that this might be an issue that affected an earlier version of the tool so I've added a version number to the title (1.13 in my current version). If this still happens in the next plugin update and the title of the preferences is 1.13 or newer I'd like to know.

Does every form and/or console application require installation?

Let's say that I have created a form or a console application. This form application's only dependency is .NET Framework (not a 3rd library) and application doesn't have any kind of requirements. What it does is to take a file and transforms to something else.
Does this application need to be installed? Can I just copy .exe file that is under \bin folder and share it?
First, you need to make sure that Copy Local is set to true for all the references of your start up project. Setting copy local to true will make sure that the DLLs get copied to the output directory. Then, build the solution and copy all the files from your output directory to any machine where you want to run the application. The application should work, as long as it has the appropriate .NET framework installed.
Here's a link about how to set copy local to true: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t1zz5y8c%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
There are 2 Ways to Do This... I just did this 20 Min Ago :)
Method 1 : Right Click on Your Project, Publish, Choose Location For
The installer. This installer can be copied onto other machines, installed and run
Method 2 : Your bin/release folder will contain .exe files which need to be copied and Installed, i prefer the 1st method. It avoids missing important / Needed Files for execution
Just a Side Note. Make Sure the Output Type Is of Console Type (Right Click on project... Output type...), Some windows applications give Problems when Publishing and Installing them due to the frameworks that might be missing

Copy local = false not working for xap

I'm trying to set copy local to a project file of mine and it is still included in the xap even though it is set to false. What might cause this to happen?
I guess you have a .dll file in your project you do not want to have in the XAP, then you must set this in your reference of the project not on the file itself.
You gave so little info about your problem it's hard to guess what is really going on with your project. Next time give a little more effort to elaborate the problem.
Setting copylocal to the class library does not work. Add the dll to the application (even though it is not needed there) and set copy local to false and it will not add it to the xap.

Vista Reverts My Code On Me

For some strange reason, when I move a PHP file from one folder to another, Vista copies an old version of the file instead of the current version. This really screws up the web application I'm working on and causes me to waste time in figuring out the problem.
What the hell is going on here and how do I prevent Vista from copying or moving previous versions of a file?
To explain a little further, when I open my PHP file in its current location I see the current version of my code. When I copy the file to the new location and open the file I see an old version of the code.
Check \UserName\Documents\AppData\Local\VirtualStore (or whatever %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore equates to) and see if somehow you're running into Vista's virtual store with your editor.
(This article explains some of how the virtual store works.)
