Warnings like below are thrown:</p> <p>09:55:06|  Warning: The directory $CUR_DIR does not exist. <br /></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-B7VQZPZi5Uo/Tfg5aXsrvuI/AAAAAAAAB3c/wgl3eyEYkwc/s1600-h/image%25255B2%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bSM8UvsCkKo/Tfg5bALOO0I/AAAAAAAAB3g/t31p2jhxf00/image_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="52" /></a></p> <p>Solution:</p> <p>1. Start Rose – without loading any mdl file.</p> <p>2. Add the new symbol – “CUR_DIR” with the actual path value as “&” – PS: Note – some versions of Rose expects “CURDIR” instead of “CUR_DIR”</p> <p>3. Close and re-start Rose</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-i1sqpnR3PsI/Tfg5b3OKYII/AAAAAAAAB3k/VErrVW4aVzc/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lyfIvEkvbCA/Tfg5cmhXufI/AAAAAAAAB3o/XlrPWRli0rg/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="243" /></a></p> odysseushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07868856288591107771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33142127.post-22063967862021791322010-07-14T11:27:00.001+05:302010-07-14T11:27:48.585+05:30One line No-brainer usage of yUML from .net<p>If you’ve not seen the beauty of yUML – do check it out <a href="http://yuml.me/" target="_blank">here - yUML</a>.</p> <p>yUML as a service, provides a simple way to express your Classes, Activities & Usecases and translates your expressions into pretty pictures (aka., uml diagrams)</p> <p>On the similar lines of <a href="http://sdedit.sf.net" target="_blank">Sequence Diagram Editor</a> – by, <a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu" target="_blank">Marcus Strauch</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Ok, to the juicy part :)</p> <p>pictureBox1.Load(“<a href="http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy/class/[test]<>1-*[me]">1-*[me]">http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy/class/[test]<>1-*[me]</a>”); </p> <p>where - <a href="http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy/class/">http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy/class/</a><…> – the <…> part is your expression</p> odysseushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07868856288591107771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33142127.post-34274261841963929322010-02-14T19:26:00.001+05:302010-02-14T19:26:31.069+05:30All in one Information Store<span xmlns=''><p>M$ Office OneNote is an amazing tool, an all in one information store - extensible to be integrated with a variety of apps.
