I want to prepare document to be served as guideline for new programmers which should be part of our team. This document should describe installation path, from new windows installation to visual studio, etc. After installing all this from doc. new programmer should be ready to code (everything set up).
Do you have such recommendation how to do this? Is there any standards for this? Do you have sample documents willing to share?
I think not only writing down a setup guide is enough by itself. We are writing guidance documents and samples on how to code. It is a document which first states a scenario and shows every step of coding.
Also, instead of setting up the environment each time a developer starts working, just setup up a new machine with all related settings, and take the image of this computer. Then, just copy this image to the new developer's computer.
I think that just like any guide it should be kept to stupid simple. Do not assume anything, or else, if you make any assumptions, state them clearly.

I am developing a file monitor to monitor file access of any exe. I monitor that exe for any file it opens/closes,reads/writes and collect the stats.
I am total newcomer to ETW (as from my research, it does not look there is any other way to do this.)
while I have been able to get some c++ code going, my client would prefer a c# solution.is there enough support in c# to monitor file io?
the samples in msdn are c++/c specific. I read vance Morrison's blogs.but its beyond me at the moment and they don't seem to suit "nt kernel logging sessions/ monitor file io" scenarios.
can anyone give me a simple sample or point me to a useful link ? any inputs is welcome on this.
In windows, ultimately any file access is granted, by the underlying winapi. See CreateFile and familly. These functions are hook-able by Microsoft Detours (though it is intended for instrumention purposes). There are also a handfull of other libraries for this sort of purposes e.g. easyhook.
Take a look at the FileSystemWatcher class.

I did a search online and was not able to find any tool or app that were designed to do this. I am looking for a set of C# class libraries you can link or reference into your code, or external command-line application that would allow me to dynamically compare two database schemas and generate scripts for transforming one database into the other, without loosing any data in a relatively speedy fashion. All tools I have seen so far, works in a static manner, i.e. you are comparing one db to the next to generate change scripts on your own local system. I am planning to include this in an installer, so it will run on a remote system therefore making it critical that it is possible to automate the process. Also licensing should be somewhat successible to that fact, i.e. a small fee per install is acceptable, or a larger one time fee and no inclusion fee.
Redgate can do that. Try their site http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-compare/

I'm looking for a free, syntax-highlighting, possibly autocompleting "Programmer's textbox" style control for use in a Visual Studio Windows Forms or WPF project. It should work with C# and self-defined languages, and the licence should permit its use in a closed, in-house development tool.
There are pay-for solutions available - something like http://www.syncfusion.com/products/user-interface-edition/windows-forms/Edit would work fine - but I am looking for something simpler, and would prefer not to pay for unnecessary functionality. Any ideas?
I've been using the SharpCode.TextEditor for a few cases, and it works quite well - including syntax highlighting and all.
Check out this Using ICSharpCode.TextEditor article on CodeProject for an intro.
To download it, go to the SharpDevelop web site and download the latest sources. One of the projects included is the Text editor, which you can easily isolate into its own assembly or sub project - you get all the source code, after all!
Scintilla is a powerful, open-source code editing component, and there is a .NET control available for it.

Any recommends here? I need something that can take a set of processes and batch them together. For example, I need to:
1) execute some sql
2) run C# snippets
3) have checkpoint steps with human interaction (i.e. send off an email at step X and wait for a user to review a result and click continue etc...)
If you are using C#, you might as well use the Windows Workflow Framework that's part of 3.5. That is pretty much exactly what it's used for.
I use Captaris Workflow for that. Quite expensive but it works really well.
Depends on how much you're willing to code vs how much you're willing to pay. You could code it all in "plain" .NET code for "free". Next step up would be using Windows Workflow, though you'd still need to code the "human interaction" steps. Slightly more expensive would be a tool like FinalBuilder or Automiser, which would mean less code for you to write, and a more visual workflow designer. Even more expensive- but allowing for potentially no code- would be an enterprise system like BizTalk, MetaStorm, K2, etc.

Looking for an open source library, for C++, Java, C# or Python, for reading the data from Quicken .qdf files.
#Swati: Quicken .qif format is for transfer only and is not kept up to date by the application like the .qdf file is.
QDF is proprietary and not really meant for reading other than my Quicken, probably for a reason as it is messy.
I would recommend finding a way to export the qdf into an OFX (Open Financial Exchange) or qif file. I have done some financial and quickbooks automation and I did something similar. The problem is if you don't export to an exchange format, each version differs and strange things happen for many conditions that since they aren't documented (QDF) it becomes a bad situation for the programmer.
OFX is what allows online banking, brokerages and apps like mint.com securely get financial data. It is a standard and consistent. Finding a way to this is much better if at all possible.

And i know one other blog where the author was developing a parser for qfx/qif... lemme look it up... googling hasnt helped yet :(
Update: Found one more:
