One of simplest ways to reduce network load is to minify java script files downloaded to a clients. By minifying I mean removing all “Enters”, “Tabs”, “Spaces”, Comments etc. all those that help us to turn our scripts into a readable story.
Since I’m a typical lazy software developer – I hate doing those manually, especially if it should be done each release… Another spoiler is that minifying java script converts it into barely readable bunch of string – not so pleasant to debug…
So I’ve found that grate article by Dave Ward that describes a way to integrate automatic java script file minifying into development lifecycle “Automatically minify and combine JavaScript in Visual Studio”.
Do it once … and do it right…

Strange problem was found while upgrading Data Dude GDR r1 to r2.
While the setup ends successfully and log does not indicates about any kind of error or failure happened. Any try to create new database project or to open existing fails with following error:
After hours of googling I’ve found only solution that is available on net by Gert Drappers:
1. Make sure that Visual Studio (devenv.exe) is closed
2. Start command prompt
3. Run following two commands:
a. “%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\DBProRepair.exe” RemoveDBPro2008
b. “%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7 \IDE\devenv.exe” /ResetUserData
4. Start Visual Studio 2008 IDE
Hope this solution helps…
