Angular: main.ts is missing from the typescript compilation
—
in GeneralAfter upgrading an existing project from Angular 14 to 15 yesterday, the project would no longer run (with ng serve). The error message was rather confusing: Well, the file was obviously there and present in tsconfig(.app).json. Spent half a day googling and upgrading and downgrading packages to try and fix it to no avail. Even…

Modify the message of an unpushed commit with git (and not only the last)
—
in GeneralI am still learning my way around git, which I mostly use from within Visual Studio. Today I had to change a commit message because I noticed later that I had mentioned an incorrect ticket number. Fortunately I had not yet pushed the commits to origin. If you need to change the latest commit’s message,…

Outlook 2016 latest update clears POP mailbox
—
in GeneralI’m still investigating, but it appears as if Outlook 2016 is clearing my POP mailboxes, despite the accounts having been set to keep the mail for 14 days. This always worked flawlessly, but this morning (29 feb…) Outlook started deleting all emails after reception, not only those older than 14 days. Is it a coincidence…

Making TrueCrypt system favorite volumes stick in Windows 10
—

That turned out to be a bit too simple. Despite adding my data volume to system favorites, upon (re)boot the volume would sometimes…

Quickly connect to a VPN on Windows 10
—
in GeneralAll-in-all I am very happy with my upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. The procedure was smooth and almost (more on that later) everything still worked like a charm, out-of-the-box, despite having lots of not-so-obvious software on the machine. (Comes with the job as a developer, I guess.) However, one minor thing very soon annoyed…

Upgrading a TrueCrypt-protected system to Windows 10
—
in GeneralI have protected my (Windows 7) development computer’s system volume with Truecrypt and pre-boot authentication. To upgrade a system like this to Windows 10 when it is offered to you, is almost as easy as any other system, but you need to plan ahead! Here’s a really easy how-to.

First smiles with VS2015: clean solution folder
—
in GeneralI have recently installed Visual Studio 2015, which was released last week, and plan to have it replace my current Visual Studio 2013 in my day to day workflow as soon as possible. If the first project I migrated proves to be indicative of the smoothness of the procedure, I’m all good. A fairly large…

in GeneralI had the exact problem Roger describes: occasionally a disconnect of my VPN and then unable to reconnect, with error message 812: The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server. Specifically, the authentication method used by the server to verify your username and password may not match the authentication method…
