GWT Error: “No source code is available for type x.y.z; did you forget to inherit a required module?” December 22, 2011

“No source code is available for type x.y.z; did you forget to inherit a required module?” Check to make sure x.y.z is actually in the “client” package. GWT doesn’t allow you to use java source files from other packages when the code involved is client code- quite logical when you think about it, but the error isn’t that helpful in explaining this!

The degree symbol is a little hard to find on the iPhone keyboard: hold down the zero key on the numeric keyboard and you’ll see it shown after a few seconds. It’s that simple!
Flex Errors #2000 and #2035 December 7, 2011

If you run either of these errors the following problem may be the cause…
I ran into this problem when using the htmlText property and inadvertently not encoding some HTML (including a reference to a non-existent image src) under certain conditions. I was not expecting the encoding to be the issue so I’d been looking at some of the other code that had changed recently.
One confusing aspect about this was that I initially got the #2000 error that was accompanied by the “Security Error: Error #2000: No active security context” text. This error wasn’t very helpful. Then I discovered that a different browser gave me the “Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent: text=Error #2035: URL Not Found” error. This error was much more helpful. Why the different errors from different browsers?! Different Flash plugin versions! The #2000 error was produced by 10.2 while the more helpful error was generated by 10.3.
Hope someone finds this useful.
Windows Tray Area Network Icon Cross December 2, 2011
Posted by kevinbe71 in Vista.add a comment
For a while my laptop has been showing a red cross over the LAN connection icon in the Windows tray area. I’m constantly connected via a wireless adapter so my physical LAN connection is not used. It appeared to be the latter that was causing the X to display over the network icon but I couldn’t figure out why until yesterday. Turns out that my network connection associated with my LAN was set to “public” while the wireless was set to “private”. The solution was as simple as switching from “public” to “private” and the ugly X icon went away… Still not sure why it behaves that way though!
Visual Studio 11 Dropping Macros? December 1, 2011
Posted by kevinbe71 in Visual Studio.add a comment
Every IDE I’ve used has had some kind of record and playback macro capability but apparently that is about to change… VS 11 preview doesn’t have this capability and it seems that is the final decision on the matter according to Microsoft. Please comment on this post if you find macro recording and playback useful in the IDE you’re using (not that I expect this to reach a large audience but I’d just like to hear other developer’s thoughts on the matter).
