I know that you can either step into every property or not step into every property, but I would really like to be able to step into a specific property, and not the rest. Is this possible? (I also know I can use keyboard commands, but I'm asking if there's a more permanent solution.) I have a lot of properties and my setters do important things, so it's silly to step over them, but most of my getters are pointless. I'm looking for something like:
public string ImportantProperty
get { return _importantProperty; }
if (this.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
throw new InvalidOperationException(
"Important Property cannot be changed unless This is closed.");
if (ImportantProperty == value)
_importantProperty = value;
OnImportantPropertyChanged(new EventArgs());
Unfortunately, I can't find anything that will act like
[DebuggerStepThrough(false)] and I must resort to turning off property step-over and putting
[DebuggerStepThrough] everywhere I don't want to step-through.

History of St. Petersburg Museum: Rumyantsev Mansion
By Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber
The St. Petersburg Times
Published: August 12, 2014 (Issue # 1823)
With preparations under way for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered the government on Monday to keep spending in check.
"Funds have already been allocated for the construction [of sports facilities, hotels and other infrastructure projects]," Medvedev said at meeting with his deputy prime ministers, according to an official statement.
"The costs are being calculated in different ways," he added. "But taking the current situation into account, we need to follow the financial plan that already exists."
Medvedev said that although he could not promise Team Russia will dominate the tournament on their home turf, Russia "has to do everything else properly" as the tournament's host.
In 2010, Medvedev estimated that hosting the tournament would cost Russia $10 billion. Since then, the anticipated cost has more than doubled.
But this is not be the first time Russia will spend more than expected when hosting an international sports event. The cost of the Sochi Olympics in February spiraled to $51 billion, nearly four times the original estimate.
Despite that aspect though, the Olympics went off largely without a hitch. "We already have experience hosting the Olympics, and it was very successful," Medvedev said. "We must ensure that the World Cup is just as successful."
The country's sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, said Monday that 12 stadiums still need to be built, along with 64 training facilities and 102 training pitches, to accommodate the 32 teams that will participate in the next World Cup.
Mutko also said that 10 host-city airports will need to undergo restoration, and that a brand new airport will be built in the southern metropolis of Rostov-on-Don.
Russia will present the results of its efforts to FIFA this fall during the association's first assessment of the country's preparations.
Russia is set to host the World Cup in 2018 from June 8 to July 8, in 11 cities including Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan.

My question today is right to the point. So whenever I build my project or my solution and there is a warning about anything such as a deprecated method, visual studio plays an annoying warning sound and I don't know how to disable the warning sound from being played. I know how to set it so that none of the warnings show up, but the warning sound still plays. Please, if anybody reading my question knows how to disable the warning sound played when visual studio encounters a warning while building projects, I would greatly appreciate your answers or advice. By the way, for reference, I am using C++ in Visual Studio 2010. Thank you very much!

Together with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, McCain met Vietnam's prime minister and the ruling Communist Party's chief on Friday. Both senators said Vietnam needed better maritime capabilities and its human rights record had improved enough to justify more military support from Washington.
The push to roll back the three-decade old arms embargo comes as Vietnam, like U.S. allies the Philippines and Japan, is locked in a dispute with an increasingly assertive China over sovereignty in the energy-rich South China Sea.
"The time has come for the United States to begin easing our lethal arms embargo on Vietnam," McCain told reporters in Hanoi. "We hope to begin the easing of that as early as September ... We're not guaranteeing it but we do believe we have very strong bipartisan support."
Washington wants to court Vietnam as a new ally in Southeast Asia to counter the growing influence of its communist neighbour, China. But Vietnam's record of arresting and jailing its critics and suppressing free speech has made it difficult to build a case for expanding military ties.
McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, is the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. He and Whitehouse were among four senators to visit the country since early May, when China moved an oil rig into waters Hanoi claims are its exclusive economic zone. Senator Bob Corker met the Vietnamese leadership in Hanoi on Tuesday.
Beijing's move sparked a row that left much of the region on edge. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry plans to urge a freeze on acts that aggravate territorial rows during a regional meeting in Myanmar this weekend.
Moves to enhance military ties between Vietnam and the United States are likely to rile China, which is annoyed at what it sees as Washington's emboldening of other territorial claimants as part of its "pivot" back to Asia.
McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, said the stream of visits by senators to the country were not related to China's maritime actions.
"Members of Congress see this as progress made on human rights ... the reason why (easing the embargo) is step by step is because we still believe the human rights issue is step by step," he said. "If it were based simply on the situation with China then I think you would see an argument for total lifting."
McCain said he anticipated joint exercises, a strengthening of Vietnam's coast guard and naval capabilities, including search and rescue missions, plus Vietnamese officers being invited to attend U.S. military academies.
Whitehouse said any easing of the embargo would likely come in phases, but indicated it could progress fast.
"It's not necessarily also going to be an absolute lifting but probably in stages, which allows early stages to happen more rapidly

Adjectives like "swashbuckling" and "romantic" rarely if ever apply to enterprise technology, so the fact that "rogue" IT is now a Thing should give one pause. Errol Flynn swooping down from a yardarm, disarming smile on his too-handsome face? Hardly the image you'd expect bringing your iPhone to work would elicit.
Yet rogues there be, sneaking digital contraband into their cubicle, unbeknownst to IT Big Brother. And while we all like to bend the rules, if only to shake up our Dilbertian existence with a fleeting moment of swashbucklery, rogue IT goes far beyond your secret Angry Birds at work addiction, or dare we say, that contraband DropBox account your entire team surreptitiously shares.
Rogues, after all, come in all shapes and sizes. When the rank and file practice a bit of derring do, it's one thing. When Big Brothers themselves – the executives who steer the ship – practice rogue IT, it's quite another. Yet this top-down scalawagness pervades enterprises far and wide, threatening to upend the IT ship altogether, CIO and all. The name of this nefarious ne'er-do-well? Your Digital Transformation Strategy.
Digital Transformation: A Rogue's Gallery
Imagine, if you will, you've been working your way up the officer's ranks of your vessel, and now you're the captain (or other C-level executive) of this ship you call your enterprise. Information Technology has always been a powerful asset in your treasure chest, from the early data processing days to the rise of monolithic enterprise apps. Then the Web and its evil twin Y2K hit, knocking you and your ship for a loop, promising a New Economy yet delivering a dot.com crash. After that perfect storm you told yourself you'd never again fall for the empty promises of the new technology sirens, singing their songs of business transformation but delivering only broken dreams.
Yet here we are, in the 2010s, and the siren song of new technology is louder than ever – and this time, there are far more voices in this craven chorus: Cloud Computing! Big Data! Social Media! Mobile Apps! DevOps! Added to this cacophony are the digital denizens of this new era, the Googles and the Amazons and the Netflixes, no longer mere dot.com darlings, but massive behemoths out to take a piece of everyone's pie, including yours. This time, sitting on the sidelines is not an option. Siren song or no, the world of business is changing, and your enterprise must change as well, or risk the deadly depths of the Charybdis of digital disruption and irrelevance.
But then you wake up from this reverie and look once again at the cold, hard reality of budgets and balance sheets, and you realize your IT department has their hands full with dull, dreary, yet absolutely essential legacy systems of record – all those numerous apps and infrastructure that have been collecting over the decades, sucking up money, yes, but keeping you in business all the while. Disruptive innovation is all very fine and good, but legacy technology and disruption don't mix. That old gear is just too brittle and important to mess with, right?
That's when it hits you: it's time to go rogue. Your IT department has way too much on its plate to handle the digital transformation you crave so desperately. So instead of asking your CIO to drive these new initiatives, you hire a Chief Digital Officer (CDO) to don the pirate gear, raise the Jolly Roger, and take your ship on an adventure into the wondrous digital future.
Hear that Ticking? Beware the Digital Disruption Time Bombs
We all know that genuine pirates and other such rogues are ruthless criminals, and yet a century of Hollywood mythmaking has turned them into heroes, courageous nonconformists who can justify their questionable deeds because of the presumably greater evil of the establishment from which they have rebelled. Today, we consider CDOs and their digital transformation initiatives to be examples of rogue IT – bucking the establishment, true, but with the best interests of the enterprise at heart. Motivation enough to forgive a bit of swashbuckling, perhaps?
After all, the legacy technology that runs the established portion of the business has a history of intractability. Legacy modernization has a reputation as being expensive, risky, and often lacking clear business drivers. And when we tried to abstract our legacy as flexible Services with the last decade's SOA initiatives, we found that architectural approach to be more expensive and difficult than we expected. Most SOA initiatives overpromised and underdelivered, leaving CDOs with few options but to go rogue and build digital initiatives largely separate from establishment IT.
Errol Flynn and his modern counterpart Johnny Depp notwithstanding, is it truly in the long-term best interest of the company for the CDO to go rogue? In the short term, absolutely. The technology buzzwords du jour aren't holding still, and moving quickly is essential to successful digital transformation. And if there's one thing traditional IT is bad at, it's moving quickly. Yet, while Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow has yet to meet his maker at the end of a rope, enterprises who place strategic bets on rogue IT risk two major time bombs going off in their face.
Time bomb #1: thinking that you can achieve the benefits of digital transformation without dealing with the legacy mess. It's tempting indeed to leave the established order behind. Many organizations think of their legacy IT as a single Gordian knot of complexity, where the only way to fix it is to somehow fix or replace the whole thing – an impossible task that would never come close to justifying its expense. The pirate's life sounds wondrous in comparison.
But remember, legacy is not monolithic. It's heterogeneous and multifaceted, and you don't have to fix the whole thing. Your core business agility drivers from transformation initiatives must connect to specific legacy goals while moving legacy toward agility, not away from it. Yes, you must pick your battles, as the legacy you do bring into your digital initiative will take time and money to fix – but never forget that your enterprise wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for the best of your legacy.
The challenges with legacy modernization in support of digital transformation are first, to tackle the right problems, and second, to take an approach that will actually work. After all, such fixes require both the appropriate abstraction as well as technology that can support those abstractions. Not SOA – or at the least, not only SOA, but one big step above SOA. For specific legacy capabilities to properly support the digital transformation, we need a better approach for abstracting legacy assets to drive agility, an architectural approach freed from middleware and laser focused on the business agility drivers from the digital transformation initiative.
Even if you think you can avoid time bomb #1, however, you must also navigate your way past time bomb #2: Realizing you have to do something about the legacy mess, but thinking there's a shortcut. Examples of such shortcuts: migrating legacy apps to the Cloud, feeding existing data into Hadoop without a strategy for collecting new information, or perhaps building mobile app interfaces onto aging Web apps that were never designed to support them. True, you may be able to get any of these examples to work, but you'll have missed the point of digital transformation initiatives: they're not about the digital, they're about the transformation. After all, your entire legacy IT shop is already digital. Transformation requires entirely new approaches, not shortcuts.
The Intellyx Take
Perhaps you're not convinced by my scintillating, scoundrel-infused diatribe. Your digital transformation initiative is doing just fine on its own, thank you very much, while IT keeps the legacy lights on, and never the twain shall meet. Sorry to shiver your timbers, but you're not alone in your market. Your competition also struggles with their legacy burden, and the spoils will go to those enterprises who successfully deal with their legacy as part of their digital transformation. If you don't get this right, then your competition will, and no amount of derring-do will save your digital transformation initiative then.
The good news for some organizations is that if you have been successful with SOA you're ahead of the game (and I know there are a few of you out there who actually got SOA to work). But regardless of whether SOA paid off for you or not, to meet your strategic goals with your digital transformation initiative, you must follow a well-architected approach that both understands and connects the business drivers for digital transformation to specific, tactical legacy initiatives.
Remember, transformation drivers are always business agility drivers, which means Agile Architecture is absolutely essential to digital transformation success: an iterative, dynamic approach that focuses on solving problems instead of paperwork, an approach that incorporates regular input from stakeholders – in other words, architecture that is inherently Agile. Going rogue may be fun, but it's high time for your CDO and CIO to work together – or even be the same person. Errol Flynn would be proud.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The state Department of Health says preliminary tests show a white powder found in an envelope opened at the Minnesota governor's residence was not a biological threat or toxin.
The department has ruled out agents such as ricin or anthrax but will continue monitoring the sample for about 10 days to try to identify it, according to a statement late Monday.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says staff at Gov. Mark Dayton's residence opened the letter Monday morning. While the content of the letter was not threatening, staff detected a small amount of white powder.
The public safety department says Dayton was at the main residence but was "not in close proximity to the letter."

Taste of authenticity
Jeffrey Sa'ad, co-owner of The Grove restaurant in San Francisco, on what he thinks of global cuisine and how versatile eggs are
- Image Credit: Reuters
American chef Jeffrey Sa'ad likes to play with flavours from around the world and liven up soups, sandwiches and everyday food with Asian and Middle Eastern spices and sauces.
In his first book, Global Kitchen: Recipes Without Borders, the 45-year-old co-owner and executive chef of The Grove restaurant in San Francisco provides recipes inspired by his travels and influenced by the traditional Lebanese meals cooked by his grandmother.
Sa'ad, who grew up in a suburb outside Chicago, speaks about must-have spices, favourite meals and the versatility of eggs.
What is your idea of global cuisine?
To me, global cuisine is how people are eating now. It's not about I want Thai food and I'm going to a Thai neighbourhood to have Thai food ... I think the difference between global cuisine, or what I call cooking without borders, and fusion is not mixing two cuisines together to come up with something new. It's borrowing from the different cultures and trying to create a signature profile.
In my book, for example, in the Mexican chapter, you use cumin, coriander, ancho chillies, dried chillies and tomatillos. There is no doubt you are tasting Mexico. You are going to get the essence of Mexico in your mouth. Obviously, Mexican cuisine is much deeper than that. That's the beginning point, and a way to have that flavour stamp. Now you could apply those things to recipes and everything you're cooking and eating globally. You are having the flavours of another country by tweaking the comfort food you normally eat.
What is your approach to maintaining the integrity of a cuisine's flavour profile?
People could mix cuisines, and they turn out great. My endless joke is fusion cuisine could insult every country involved with something muddled ... What I do in my restaurant, The Grove, is classic comfort food with a twist.
Compare the way people are eating now with when you were growing up.
When I was growing up, my grandmother would make these very traditional Lebanese foods. When we went to her home, I felt like we were leaving the country. Looking back as a kid, that was my first real global experience. I would be having chick peas, grape leaves and the magic of rosewater in the baklava with the phyllo dough and groundnuts. It was so authentic.
But ... if you wanted Chinese, it would be hard to find anything but egg foo young, at least in the Midwest. These things that were sweet and sticky, or sweet and spicy, or sweet and sour, they felt very one-dimensional. I'm sure it made sense at the time. Now people really want the essence and what those cuisines are about more than just the shadow of itself.
What are the must-have spices in your pantry?
I have this power-wheel of flavours. I have five to six spices I tend to reach for. One of them is Herbes de Provence. That's like a bouquet of herbs from the South of France, which has been dried out. It's great to add to simple tuna salad and omelette. That's quick flavour in a multiple of formats.
If you want Chinese, all you need is five-spice. You could add it to shrimps. You could sauté them or stir-fry them. You could bake them or roast them as well. You would get this nice, sweet kind of crust.
I also recommend having soya sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha or any kind of chilli paste you like. When you mix them in equal parts, you make a great instant Chinese-style sauce. I also love smoked paprika. It colours and flavours. When you put a bit of smoked paprika in oil, it just lights up. Whole fennel seeds add a great texture and flavour to tomato sauce.
Why did you devote a whole chapter in your book to eggs?
I call them my 12 little sous-chefs. When you have a dozen eggs in the fridge, you are guaranteed a meal. I have [not] yet met a spice, an herb, a protein, a flavour that doesn't taste great with eggs. They are super-versatile and inexpensive.
