Why this NED file don t have design tab? - omnet++

I am trying to modify one simulation and I find this ned file that don t have design tab ("Design mode"). Name of the file is simulation.ned. Inside this file it s define package, Simulation is define as "simple" module and inside parameters part there are just simulation global parametars.
simple Simulator
{
parameters:
double LogPeriod= default (3600.0);
double updatePeriodPN= default (7200.0);
bool DateTime=default(false);
int debugLevel=default(0);
xml configFileName;
gates:
inout directInGate #directIn;
}
My question is why this ned file don t have design tab (Design mode)? Is this some kind of special ned file that is present in every simulation (tictoc examples don t have this type of ned file). Other ned files although with a same structure they have design tab (graphical environment)

This is not about the file but rather where the file is. You must configure the ned folders in your project settings and only NED files inside the ned folders are shown as dual mode editors. Anything outside the ned folders are shown just as a basic text editor.

How find a AutoCAD drawing with a specific layer name?

Looking for a solution.
I am looking for a AutoCAD .lsp (lisp) routine to search various folders drawings (.dwg files) to a specific layer name. The result in an excel list of the found dwg files where the specific layer is located. For example select folder and even subdirs. Look for given layer name: .... Seach and result, only the drawings that contains layer name ..... I have a lisp routine that will scan in a folder of drawings for all layer names. I want to specify it. It must be in a atnother solution. To specify to search various folders drawings (.dwg files) for a specific layer name. The result in an excel list of the found dwg files where the specific layer is located. You can read the current code in the topic. And that code works. I would like an extension to the existing module with function as described in the topic.
Open File Explorer.
Go to File --> Change Folder and search options
From the Search tab choose: Always search file and contents.
Since when can Windows read in AutoCAD files for a specific layer name?
It's not working.
AutoLISP is a popular high-level language used for programming in CAD Packages such as AutoCAD, BricsCAD or ZWCAD. Using AutoLISP, you can create customised CAD commands to perform actions in order to generate the desired output. AutoLISP comes already loaded with a full version of AutoCAD.
With lisp you can use getstring to specify a layer name, acet-ui-pickdir to select a folder, ObjectDBX/vla-get-layer to go within a drawing database, and then return the search results to a csv file to write.

Rules for file extensions?

Are there any rules for file extensions? For example, I wrote some code which reads and writes a byte pattern that is only understood by that specific programm. I'm assuming my anti virus programm won't be too happy if I give it the name "pleasetrustme.exe"... Is it gerally allowed to use those extensions? And what about the lesser known ones, like ".arw"?
You can use any file extension you want (or none at all). Using standard extensions that reflect the actual type of the file just makes things more convenient. On Windows, file extensions control stuff like how the files are displayed in Windows Explorer and what happens when you double click on it.
I wrote some code which reads and writes a byte pattern that is only
understood by that specific programm.
A file extension is only an indication of what type of data will be inside, never a guarantee that certain data formatted in a specific way will be inside the file.
For your own specific data structure it is of course always best to choose an extension that is not already in use for other file formats (or use a general extension like .dat or .bin maybe). This also has the advantage of being able to use an own icon without it being overwritten by other software using the same extension - or the other way around.
But maybe even more important when creating a custom (binary?) file format, is to provide a magic number as the first bytes of that file, maybe followed by a file header structure containing a version number etc. That way your own software can first check the header data to make sure it's the right type and version (for example: anyone could rename any file type to your extension, so your program needs to have a way to do some checks inside the file before reading the remaining data).

Replacing recorded values with Data file - Data driven testing

I have recorded a simple Coded UI test from visual Studio 2013. What it does is;
Launches a website
Fills in a form with (8 fields)
Saves the form and closes it
Now, I wish to use a data.csv file to replace those 8 values. All the searching I did, I could only find options where every input field had different method hence was easy to find and replace values. In my case, 1 method and 8 fields.
How do I do that? Where do I make the changes since my main file looks like this:
Where and what changes should I make to use CSV file instead of manual values that I recorded.
My designer file code is as below for couple of input fields:
// Type '123456789' in 'i' text box
uIIEdit.Text = this.createKundeParams.UIIEditText;
// Type '{Tab}' in 'i' text box
Keyboard.SendKeys(uIIEdit, this.createKundeParams.UIIEditSendKeys, ModifierKeys.None);
// Type 'Jeff Hardy' in 'name_i' text box
uIName_iEdit.Text = this.createKundeParams.UIName_iEditText;
// Type '{Tab}' in 'name_i' text box
Keyboard.SendKeys(uIName_iEdit, this.createKundeParams.UIName_iEditSendKeys, ModifierKeys.None);
you can put all the 8 values in 1 csv row and treat them as one input to be passed to the method that sets the fields, alternatively you can change the method to accept one value and field name and sets the field with the value
Create the CSV file.
Add the CSV file to the project.
Make sure the CSV file is deployed.
Add the CSV file as a data source for an individual test.
Read the CSV fields and use them in the test.
The detailed steps, with some variations, are explained below.
Visual Studio 2010 has a "data source wizard" that does some of these steps. Visual Studio versions 2012 and 2013 do not have the wizard and so all the steps have to be done manually.
Create the CSV file
One way is to create the file in a spreadsheet then save it as Comma Separated Values. Another way is to use a text editor and just write the file. I use a spreadsheet program for big data source files and a text editor for creating small files. Some editors add a byte order mark (BOM) at the start of a file, that will be added to the first field name of the CSV which appears to make the field unreadable. See this page for more about the BOM.
Add the CSV file to the project
Use the context menu in solution explorer, select Add -> Existing Item. Then browse to the required file. Note the file filter will probably need to be altered to be . or *.csv.
Make sure the CSV file is deployed
Open the properties panel for the CSV file from solution explorer. Set "Copy to output directory" to "Copy if newer" or to "Copy always". Some documents recommend "Copy if newer" but I prefer "Copy always" as occasionally a file was not copied as I expected. The difference between the two copy methods is a little disk space and a little time, but disks are normally big and the time to copy is normally small. Any savings are, in my opinion, far outweighed by being sure that the file will be copied correctly.
Add the CSV file as a data source for an individual test
Replace the [TestMethod] attribute with the correct data source line. This Microsoft blog shows the replacement code for several possible data source file types. For CSV use:
[DataSource("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.CSV",
"|DataDirectory|\\data.csv", "data#csv",
DataAccessMethod.Sequential), DeploymentItem("data.csv"),
TestMethod]
Note that the file name occurs three times and one copy has a # rather than a .. I have not found any useful documentation about the different fields of the Datasource(...) attribute so cannot advise further on how to choose values for non-CSV data sources.
The |DataDirectory| part above is replaced by the directory where files are deployed when the tests run. The whole file name within the string quotes could be replaced by a full path name of a file, if required.
Read the CSV fields and use them in the test
The Coded UI record and generate tool creates classes with fields that hold values entered into text boxes or used in assertions. Each action method has a ...Params class and each assert method has an ...ExpectedValues class, where the ... is the method name. The default values of these fields are the values used when the test was recorded. The recorded values can be overwritten by an assignment before the action or assertion method is called. The fields of the current row of the data source are accessed from TestContext.DataRow[...].
Suppose a Coded UI test has an EnterValue method that writes text into two fields of the screen and it also has a CheckResult method that asserts one field. The test method might then be written as follows.
[DataSource...
TestMethod]
public void CodedUITestMethod1()
{
this.UIMap.EnterValueParams.UIItem0TextSendKeys = TestContext.DataRow["ValueOne"].ToString();
this.UIMap.EnterValueParams.UIItem1TextSendKeys = TestContext.DataRow["ValueTwo"].ToString();
this.UIMap.EnterValue();
this.UIMap.CheckResultExpectedValues.UIItem0TextDisplayText = TestContext.DataRow["Result"].ToString();
this.UIMap.CheckResult();
}
The ...Params and ...ExpectedValues classes allow the test to create values when the test runs. For example, if the EnterValue method also wanted to write tomorrow's date into a field we could add the following line before it is called:

Can we use control the source formats/layout in DMExpress using environment variables?

I am using DMExpress tasks to do taransformations on my business data. These business data come in multiple format/layout. I need to be able to use single task for transformation on multiple source layouts. Any DMExpress experts here??
One way that I found out for doing transformation on multiple source layouts with the help of single task was by using the Dmexpress SDK to write the script for the task rather than building the tasks using the GUI task editor. SDK gives lot more flexibility compared to the GUI editor.
But if you are bound to GUI then there is a way around for this specific purpose. You should define a common name for the source layout. Only the source layout name is binded to the task but not the actual layout definition. So you can alter the layout definition while keeping the layout name constant to get a generic task.
FYI- DMExpress is now called DMX (Syncsort changed the name about a year ago).
Do you have multiple different record types within a single file or is each type of record in a separate file? Your question is not clear on this.
If they are in separate files, this is very easy, but you will need to create a separate DMX task for each file. In each of these tasks, define one of the files as the source and create a record layout that matches the format of that file.
If they are in the SAME file, it is only a little more difficult. You can split them into separate files by creating multiple targets and defining a named condition for each target using the SourceName() function (this function returns the name of the file that the current record came from). Then you can process them as separate files (see above). This works UNLESS you have a parent-child relationship going on between the different types of records in that single file. If that is the case, please post some sample data and I can advise on how to handle it.

Xcode 4: How can I reference project variables/macros in a file template?

Ok, so, I've got a relatively complex project template hierarchy that defines code style related macros and variables (curlies on same or new line, indentation, etc). My code style template will probably give more context
Works great when generating a project.
However, I'm not seeing a clear path to reusing these macros/variables when generating new files after the project has been built. Findings so far:
macros and variables defined at the project level are not substituted when referenced in a file template
popup option definitions in file templates do not seem to support complex definitions (e.g. defining a macro when the drop down is in a given state)
project variables do appear to become defaults for options of the same name in the file template wizard
file templates don't appear to be able to define other templates as ancestors
Any ideas?
Enter the following line:
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ "ORGANIZATIONNAME" = "Your Company Name" ; }'
into a Terminal window, replacing "Your Company Name" with whatever you choose.
You can also open the file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode in "Property List Editor" and insert your company name as a string value for the key "ORGANIZATIONNAME" under the dictionary "PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions". You may need to create "PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions" at the top level if it doesn't already exist.
