    <p><em>VS chugs to catch up with me.</em> <br> Hmmm ... you machine needs more memory &amp; grunt. Never had performance problems with mine.</p> <p>I've about a decade's experience doing exactly what you're proposing, most of it in the finance industry, developing real-time systems for customers in the banking, stock exchanges, stock brokerage niches.</p> <p>Before proceeding further, I need to confess that all this was done in VS6 + CVS, and of late, SVN.</p> <p><strong>Source Code Versioning</strong> </p> <p>Developers have separate sourcesafe repositories so that they can store their work and check it packages of work at logical milestones. When they feel they want to do an integration test, we run a script that checks it into SVN. </p> <p>Once checked into SVN, we've a process that kicks off that will automatically generate relevant makefiles to compile them on the target machines for continuous integration.</p> <p>We've another set of scripts that synchs new stuff from SVN to the folders that VS looks after. There's a bit of gap because VS can't automatically pick up new files; we usually handle that manually. This only happens regularly the first few days of the project.</p> <p>That's an overview of how we maintain codes. I have to say, I've probably glossed over some details (let me know if you're interested).</p> <p><strong>Coding</strong></p> <p>From the coding aspect, we rely heavily on the pre-processors (i.e. #define, etc) and flags in the makefile to shape compilation process. For cross platform portability, we use GCC. A few times, we were force to use aCC on HP-UX and some other compilers, but we did not have much grief. The only thing that is a constant pain, is that we had to watch out for thread heap spaces across platforms. The compiler does not spare us from that.</p> <p><strong>Why?</strong></p> <p>The question is usually, "Why the h*ll would you even what to have such a complicated way of development?". Our answer is usually another question that goes, "Have you any clue how insane it is to debug a multi-threaded application by examining the core dump or using gdb?". Basically, the fact that we can trace/step through each line of code when you're debugging an obscure bug, makes it all worth the effort!</p> <p>Plus!... VS's intellisense feature makes it so easy to find the method/attribute belonging to classes. I also heard the VS2008 has refactoring capabilities. I've shifted my focus to Java on Eclipse that has both features. You'd be more productive focusing coding business logic rather than devote energy making your mind do stuff like <em>remember</em>!</p> <p>Also! ... We'd end up with a product that can run on both Windows and Linux!</p> <p>Good luck!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
