Mark an Executable to Use More Than 2GB of Memory -Large Address Aware(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 5 months ago

UppercuT – Mark an Application Executable to Use More Than 2GB of Memory (Large Address Aware) - If you’ve ever built a .NET application that runs out of memory constantly, it’s because you are hitting a 2GB limit. You may have known about marking an assembly “/largeaddressaware”. You may have not. The process of doing this is actually somewhat easy once you learn about it. I would instead like to concentrate on automating this with UppercuT so I no longer have to think about it. read more...

UppercuT - Getting Started Part 4 (External Libraries / Tools)(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

This is a small update into where you keep your external references. If you keep them where UppercuT defaults to, you can skip this step. It’s important to note that not everyone keeps their references to external libraries (lib) in the same location in source control. That’s fine, but it requires a little additional work. In the configuration, you will want to edit where to find the tools UppercuT references. read more...

UppercuT - Automated Builds - VersionBuilder(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

If you rock with Subversion, UppercuT has this problem solved. So how do you take advantage of VersionBuilder? UppercuT automatically generates an assembly version file for you during build. All you need to do is hook every project up to it. read more...

UppercuT - Automated Builds - CruiseControl.NET Integration(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

So now you are rolling with UppercuT, but you don’t yet have Continuous Integration (CI). You can make that happen with CruiseControl.NET (or any other CI server like TeamCity or Hudson). This article is geared to CruiseControl.NET (CC.NET), although there will be future articles on other CI servers. This is specifically geared towards CC.NET 1.4 and above, because it takes advantage of preprocessors. First a few sideline notifications and then we'll get right into it. read more...

UppercuT - Automated Builds - The ConfigBuilder(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

UppercuT comes with ConfigBuilder. What is ConfigBuilder? ConfigBuilder will build a configuration file per environment so you no longer have to maintain a bunch of configuration files. In any project you have app.config (or web.config) files. You just create a .template file next to it. The web.config has a file next to it named web.config.template. What do you name the app.config template files? You have to name the file based on what app.config becomes when visual studio builds the application. read more...

UppercuT - Automated Builds - UppercuT.config(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoder(836) 2 years, 8 months ago

Recently I posted about UppercuT, the insanely easy to use build framework. There are so many things you can do with UppercuT, that it may make your life easier. We decided to make it even easier to use UppercuT by using a convention most people in the .NET world understand, the .config file. This replaces the build.settings.bat file for those of you who were using it. All you need to do now is navigate to the Settings folder and open the UppercuT.config file in your favorite editor. read more...

UppercuT comes with DeploymentBuilder. What is DeploymentBuilder? Perhaps you maintain a bunch of deployment scripts that point to all your different environments.

To help people better understand what it can do, we've included a starting template file and a sample LOCAL.settings file so you can see the power of UppercuT's DeploymentBuilder. read more...
