I'm putting together a short Dev Environment Tips list for our next CFUG
meeting. Things like CF mailing lists (this list, CF-Talk), essential URLs,
books, helper apps, etc. that make your development life easier.
Please can you send any tips you have directly to me.
Thanks

Hi all,
Apologies if this topic has already been flogged to death, but ...
In 2 weeks I'm presenting to my company on Microsoft's .NET initiative, and
need some URLs to sink my teeth into. The bits I've seen on MS all seem to
be fairly technical. I'm looking for overview type info, and ideally w
You could set the duplicate prevention at field level in the database table,
and then use CFTRY/CFCATCH to monitor this.

When viewing my SQL server database through CF studio on my machine (RDS:
localhost), the databases listed are old ones - some have actually been
deleted, new ones don't show up.
I've tried refreshing the view, installing SP4.5.2, etc and still no joy.
Any takers on what's wrong??
Thanks
Steve

I'm also fairly new to this type of transition. As a primer, may I recommend

Hi Jason,

I have a Verity search facility on my site. When I search for literal
strings using double quotes, Verity performs a search including the quotes,
e.g. it searches for '"rail network"' instead of 'rail network'. Has anyone
come across this problem before?
I've tried to fix it by using a ReplaceNoC
Is there any way to dynamically display the size of a file?
I display lists of PDF links and need to show the size of each file after
the title. Although all the pdf's are in the same folder, they are linked to
from various pages.

In a custom tag I read those variables - and of course I need to lock that

I need to create 2 custom error pages for an application. One is for 404
errors (page not found), and the other is for any other server errors. Armed
with CFERROR and CFTRY/CFCATCH, does anyone have suggestions on how to
achieve this?

I have 3 arrays, which are assigned to the application scope:
My custom tag receives a number (1,2 or 3), and with that I reference the
correct array. I need to dynamically use this number to reference the
correct array, e.g.
#ArrayLen(application.SM & attributes.Num)#

I need to load a massive array into memory - I was going to do this in the

accessing this info from within a CT?
My other option would be to put all this info into an include, which I call
from the CT. Can I cache an includ

Although Spectra will be supported for the next 2 years, I'm sure as hell
not going to sell it clients now - I'm simply looking for another solution.
And it's probably only a 1-2 year solution as CF 6 will have Spectra's CODB
etc built in.
I'm gonna check out CommonSpot 2.0, or as Neil recommends
I'm sure this has been discussed already, so apologies up front.
We are a web co that has been developing Spectra apps for our clients mainly
because of its content management (CM) functionality. With the demise of
Spectra, does anyone know of a reliable and robust ColdFusion CMS that is
