The tooltip or Intellisense for methods do not appear!

by

The Story

One day, while I was doing my usual job of coding, I have noticed that when I type open parenthesis after the method name, the parameters do not appear automatically the way it used to.

I thought at first that my Visual Studio 2017 was just too slow. It’s been happening for quite some time, so I’ve tried restarting the Visual Studio, but the problem was not solved.

I’ve also tried deleting my user profile – nothing happened.

Finally, after a few days of being annoyed (and procrastinating to find the solution), I have found the fix!

(I have learned that the shortcut to display the method parameters is  Ctrl+Shift+Space. But, that is not what I want.)

 

The Fix

Go to TOOLS > Options > Text Editor > C# > General and check the Parameter Information.

 

Convert PCX Image to PNG or JPG format

by

PixConverter

I am currently working on a task where I have to migrate data from Paradox Database (or simply, Paradox DB) to SQL Server Database.

The image files that the Paradox DB is using is in PCX format. And the system I am developing is required to read and display these images. Since no browser can display PCX image (you can see the image formats the browsers support in this link) using the <img> tag, the PCX files have to be converted to another image format that popular browsers support. I have chosen the PNG format as the final image format because it can preserve the fine details with the highest resolution with smaller sizes.

I am using the free software Coffee PixConverter to do the conversion. To save time, I am utilizing its bulk conversion feature. I am also saving the converted images to the same folder as the PCX files, so I would not have the update the current physical paths of the images.

How To: Forward / Redirect Naked Domain Purchased from Enom to www

by

In this post, we talked about forwarding a naked domain bought from GoDaddy. What about if your registrar is eNom?

In this case, you can configure your naked domain to be forwarded to your mapped CNAME (subdomain) through the following steps:

1. Login to your Google Apps Control Panel at //www.google.com/a/yoursite.com. Let’s look at kurizutin.com as a sample.

2. Select Domain Settings > Domain Names > Advanced DNS
3. Get the provided username and password for your eNom DNS control panel.
4. Under the Host Records section, click Edit 
5. Delete any existing A records
6. Add a new Host Record with the following configuration (see sample image below):
7. Host Name: @
8. Address: //www.yoursite.com
9. Record Type: URL Redirect
10. Save your changes
