Announcing the Universal Windows Platform development tools

We just released the Universal Windows appdevelopment tools for writing Windows 10 apps in Visual Studio 2015. Itis an exciting release: you can now use the latest .NET technology to build Universal Windows Platform("UWP") apps that run on every Windows device - the phone in yourpocket, the tablet or laptop in your bag, the PC on your desk, the Xbox consolein your living room, and all the new devices that are being added to theWindows family like HoloLens,Surface Hub,and IoT devices like the RaspberryPi 2.Installingthe UWP ToolsYou can install the free CommunityEdition, which install the UWP tools by default. If you need theProfessional or Enterprise edition, you can download them from VisualStudio.com.During setup, choose 'Custom' to install the Tools for Universal Windows Apps.If you already haveVisual Studio 2015, here's two ways to...

I was just thinking if you can hold on to a specific version say for two years or so and release plug ins that the user may choose to add on as required. And once you know these are all bug free, merge them into a next major version. The Windows OS has in-built drivers for thousands of printers and scanners and one of the reason it takes 1 GB for simple install. Yet when I bought my new printer lst week, I loaded the driver that came with the printer ! I do agree that the dividing line between a universal package and a custom package is difficult to arrive.
I can not agree more with you Raghunathan. I have to admit I skipped Labview 8.0 to 8.5. But I upgraded then Labview 8.6 came out. And I am also happy that I completely ignored Windows Vista. I as customer want stability before a not quite error free new version, with only minor changes. But NI (the marketing department) want to sell, and think that they can create an artificial need by presenting a "new" version every year. I will also remind REM1 about the posting "Do you use LabVIEW but not apply for the beta?" http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=375205 That REM1 posted for about a year ago. It is quite interesting to see which postings that get most kudos
But anyway REM1, are you entitled to leak some teasers about what will be new in the 2010 version. Or at least point to some areas which will contain new element(s)
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

What was the first GUI development tool of Oracle?

Hi,
I am an Oracle Developer and currently developing my own Website dedicated to Oracle, especially on the development tools. In my website I have a page dedicated to the history and development of the Oracle Developer tools, from SQL*FORMS 1,2,3,4 etc. to the Current Developer. What I want to know are the release dates of the first Windows based development tools by Oracle. I know that Forms 4 was the first Windows based GUI development tool Oracle released ( I think it was called Oracle CDE). But I don't know when it was released. Was it in 1993 or 1994? If you can tell me which month it would be even better and more accurate. I got to know through the Internet that Developer/2000 Version 1 was released in March/1995. Is this true? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards

Hi,
the first version of CE was 7.1. Followed by 7.11 and 7.20. But you have to be carefull. There was a netweaver release 7.0 which already included parts of the components shipped with CE (e.g CAF and WebDynpro). But these are different releases, so it is not possible to do an easy upgrade from NW 7.0 to CE 7.1
Best regards,Stefan

How to apply a user style with the Stylish extension for Web Developer Tools?

I have firefox 27 and the fonts of Web Developer Tools (Inspector, Debugger..) are very small.
The fonts of Stylish editor are very small also.
Here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943857 I found a similar question.
GingerBread Man said :
"If you need to modify anything else, you can use the DOM Inspector extension to examine user interface elements ("chrome"). "
My problem is that I can't find the names of elements e.g "chrome://browser/content/devtools/markup-view.xhtml"

@the-edmeister
Thanks for your reply.
The rule below affects only Inspector
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/devtools/markup-view.'''xhtml'''") {
.devtools-monospace {
font-size: 120% !important;
I change the rule as you suggest.
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/skin/devtools/markup-view.css") { ......}
It doesn't work.

Hi Prahal,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since you are using Selenium WebDriver which is third-party product, the issue is out of support range of Visual Studio testing forum. I suggest that you can consult your issue on Selenium support:
http://docs.seleniumhq.org/support/ for better response.
Thanks for your understanding.

Development tools download

Which tool are you trying to download?

How to search any text (not just CSS selector) in Inspector (in Developer Tools)?

I want to search any text in the inspector, like Chrome Developer Tools does. How can I do this?

This is not likely to be possible in the general case, depending on what you mean by "searching text"
For instance, a Word doc might have the text "Hello, world!" when viewed in Word, but that doesn't mean that the sequence of characters 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', etc., exists in the file. There might be one letter, then some binary data indicating that the next letter is some other font or color, then one more letter, then more binary data, etc.
Conversely, there could be textual metadata in a "binary" file that a person reading the file in the appropriate viewer would never see. Unless you know the details of the format you're reading, you won't be able to distinguish that from "real text".
And what do you mean "strings" is not efficient? Have you tried it? Does it do what you want? Did you measure and determine that it does not meet your well-defined performance requirements? It's unlikely you'll be able to write code that does the same thing as "strings" but more "efficiently."
The first step is to put more realistic boundaries on your requirements and define them more precisely. "Extract text from any binary file," is not a valid, meaningful, or reasonable requirement.
EDIT: I may have misunderstood your requirements. I thought you wanted to "extract all text" from binary files. If that's not what you meant, and you're looking more to replicate grep, then follow Joachim's advice.

About Oracle Workshop and other Oracle's development tools...

Greetings, I'm wondering what would be the future of the Workshop IDE. Oracle also distributes JDeveloper which is the company's historical development tool for Java/J2EE. Will both tools continue to be supported ? Or rather they will merge in an unique one ? In this last case, will this final too look rather as Workshop or rather as JDeveloper, I mean, will it Eclipse based ? What about the Workshop support for WebLogic Portal Server, AquaLogic Service Bus, etc. ? Will this support be maintained, meaning that the products itselfs will be maintained ?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can give me a little more visibility.
Kind regards,
Nicolas

It looks as though Oracle will develop both IDEs: the Eclipse based Workshop and JDeveloper a few years... but that's unofficial whispering in the jungle.
I think many want it to be Eclipse based, since most developers are learning Eclipse while they grow up...

Safari 6.0 developer tools automatically pause on javascript errors. Prevent this automatic pausing?

When developing with the built-in tools in Safari 6.0, the developer tools automatically pause the scripts on minor errors, is there a way to prevent this default action, while still allowing manual pausing of scritps?
Here's a photo of the breakpoint management tab in the Safari 6.0 developer tools:

Hopefully this isn't stating the obvious... You have set the debugger to break on exceptions. Look in the breakpoint navigator for break on All Exceptions and break on All Uncaught Exceptions. I bet you have one or both enabled.

IE11 Developer tools missing menu

Hi,
I'm trying to use developer tools in ie11 on my home pc. I use it in ie9 every day at work.
Where are the options to clear the cookies, cache, etc. I don't see any of that stuff.
-Eric

I wasn't able to see the IE11 Developer guide link at the top and bottom of the forums like you said. I searched around and found the IE 11 Developer Guide. Here's a link to the IE11 Developer Tools part for anybody who reads this in the future:
IE 11 Developer Tools
It doesn't look like there is any way to clear the cache, cookies, etc. with the IE11 Developer Tools the way there's been in every version of the IE11 Developer Tools that I've used since IE6, I think.

I have a Mac and told to download Firefox to help me access an online course whose website was developed for a windows platform. What do I do to get my Mac to work w/the website?

I'm new to Firefox. I was told to download Firefox to help me access a website I'm to use for a course. Unfortunately, I found the course website says I can't access it w/Mac. It says the Website was developed for a Windows platform. Mac people have told me I can try Firefox. I have and it still doesn't give me access to the course material I need for a job. I'm not sure I'm using Firefox correctly. Any suggestions?

You can try installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ User Agent Switcher] add-on. This lets you change your browser's "User Agent" header so that it will tell the server that it is a Windows browser.
