VS 2005 project is not rebuilt despite changes in source code

Having fixed a problem with Visual Studio (VS) 2005 the other day, there is still another problem. The project does not recompiled/rebuilt automatically after the souce codes of some files have been changed. Usually, if we make changes to the souce code, those files will be recompiled if we press Ctrl+F5 or F5. At first I thought this could be the new behavior/feature in VS 2005. But after discussing with a buddy of mine who’s currently using VS 2005 for his assignment, he told me that VS 2005 should rebuild the code automatically. ...

"The Binding Handle Is Invalid" error in Visual Studio 2005

Tonight is the first time I began to code a small program in C# again since my graduation in April ‘06. It’s just because I was away from Windows PC, and it’s not easy do a GUI application with Mono on Mac. So it’s not that I hate C# or anything. Anyway, I just installed Visual Studio .Net 2005 Profession edition (non-commercial use) on my home PC, and I encountered a never-seen-before (to me at least) error straight away when I tried to debug/build the program. Well, google search pointed me to a solution to this problem. ...

My Linux Phone: e680i

After waiting about four or five months, I finally could get a hold of my new phone. The phone was purchased in Cambodia as a gift from my brothers. I would like to thank three of them who had put some efforts in making my wishes come true. In addition, a big thank also goes to my girlfriend for delivering the phone to me. In fact, e360i phone is a pretty old model. It was manufactured by Motorola as one of their first mobile phones running Linux as the operating system. About a year a half ago, Ed, a friend of mine from New Zealand, introduced me to his phone. He urged that I should get one, as well as convinced me that this phone was way better than my Nokia ones. Guess what? I should have believed him, this phone is awesome, entertaining, functioning and butt-kicking. So, Ed, thank you a lot too dude, if you happen to read this post. I appreciate also that you spent time teaching me all the nice tip and trick about e680i. ...

VMware Installation – A Small Solution to a Huge On Going Problem

VMware is a piece of art of software which allows you to run guest operating stystems (OS) on top of the main OS you’re using. For example in my case, I run SuSE 10.0 on Windows XP via VMware. Anyway, despite having the name as cool as it sounds, installing the VMware on my machine is a pain in the rear. This could explain why I so stated as above. The installation of VMware always gives the blue-screen-of-death on the Windows XP SP2 on the final step. Initially, I thought that some services running on my machine may cause the problem, so I disabled most of them. In addition, I also shutdown Zone Alarm, and all the running programs. Nothing helped at all. I remember, the last time I wanted to run VMware so bad, that I decided to reinstall the Windows XP. ...
