How to backup and restore settings files

Data files

• History.xml - Stores content visible in History pane. This content is updated whenever you connect to some favorite. Removing this file will clear the history.
• Credentials.xml - contains values of stored credentials.
• Terminals.config - This is the main Terminals data file. Here Tags, Favorites and application application options are saved. Removing this will clear all your favorites and next time you start terminals, first run wizard will appear.

Window layout files

• ToolStrip.settings.config - Main window tool bar positions
• user.config - Not used since version 3.0. Was stored in user profile (usually in "c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\RobertChartier\<Terminals>\<Version>\"). Contains main window position and size.

Log files

• Terminals.log4net.config - logging configuration. No one usually changes content of this file.
• currentlog.txt - located "Logs" subdirectory in application folder. All problems are noticed in this files. If you want to report any issue, please provide this file as attachment.
• LastUpdateCheck.txt - holds only date of last update. This file isn't used yet.

Version 3.0:

• Has different files structure depending on installation type, which is described in Upgrade to version 3.0*
• All user files of the application are stored in one "Data" directory. This make the application 100% portable.
• All other rules are still valid except:
  • Content of the files is not backward compatible with version 2.0 and older
  • Stronger encryption is used and also additional fields in data files are encrypted (Domain and user name wasn't encrypted till version 3.0)
  • New file was added: Favorites.xml - contains all groups and their favorites. This version no longer stored favorites and their groups (Tags) in config file.
  • User.config file is not used. Currently window positions were moved to the Terminals.config

Developer guide

Continuous integration

• There is a public Team City server configured for our project
• Use Login as Guest on Login page
• These builds shouldn't be used as public available development builds (beta or RC)

Last Successful builds:

• Latest Binaries: http://goo.gl/bTlqr
• Unit tests build: http://goo.gl/nFdxs

Application life cycle

• To publish release version:
  • the application version should be updated in Setup project and in Common.AsssemblyInfo.cs
  • Update related build version in Team City nightly builds
  • Keep in mind, that there is new version detected by published release on CodePlex and compared with the build date of the application => Pulish date has to older or equals to the build date.
  • Mark release with label. If you want to rollback to previous version load selected version release label
• TFS Tasks have iteration path "Terminals" until there is at least one related checkin. Then change the iteration path to the current development version
• When fixing an issue, mark it as Fixed (not as Closed). Task is closed as a part of release, if there are no comments otherwise it is shifted to next version.

Cooperation rules

• Miguel de Icaza has a good post on Open Source Contribution Etiquette that is worth reading, as the guidance he gives applies well to Terminals (inspired by Nuget project).
• Pickup from task stack by Votings
  
• Select only task, which you are able to solve in no more than two months
• Don't keep your checkouts long time, use Shelve sets instead
• Always associate check-in change set with task, if your check in is related to it
• In case of formating make two separate checkins: one which holds only code formating changes, second with fix/feature changes

Project structure

• Current development tool is Visual Studio 2010 with .NET C#.
• The main solution project is configured to target .NET framework 4. But there are other external projects, which are still targeting .NET 2.0. Don't change the target framework for them.
• For Logging the Log4Net is configured. Log files are stored under application Logs subdirectory.
• To build the release setup use the "Distribution release" solution configuration. For general development use standard debug and release.
• Output directory is default directory under the Terminals project.
• Put all localize able resources under the Localization directory in resource file stored there.
• The latest development branch is stored under "Main\Sources"
• To create user branch create your own under "FeatureBranches" directory and branch allways whole main subtree
• All extrenal components and other resources like images should be stored under "Resources" directory in its branch
• Temporar solution for new setup created in WIX is present in the sources directory and will be removed after the setup is able to replace current setup

External components

• SSH protocol from Granados project (actually developed as Poderosa)
• Terminal emulator control for ssh and telnet ( Terminal control)
• Amazon S3 component (from Amazon SDK Amazon SDK for .NET)
• zLib compression library (zLib)
• VNC client library (VncSharp)
• Log4Net (Log4Net)
• Packet manipulation library (SharpPcap)
• ICA Citrix component
• RDP imported as activeX component
• Setup WIX toolkit (WIX Toolkit)

Coding rules

• Use Visual Studio 2010 default settings or similar settings in another editor.
• For developer who are using Resharper, there is a Team shared configuration file for coding rules. Don't change this file, if you want to apply some rules. Discuss it first within the team.
• Indents are 4 spaces. You can use Productivity Power Tools for VS to convert tab characters into spaces.
• Fields should be declared private and above all methods.
• Put curly brackets on a new line and close it in the same indentation.
• Keep classes small up to maximum 500 lines
• Keep methods small up to maximum 35 lines
• Use usings as much as possible and remove not used usings
• When using an if condition with one statement, put the statement on the next line.

if (true)
       DoSomething();

• When using an if condition with one statement after if condition and else condition, curly brackets are optional.

if(true)
       DoSomething();
   else
       DoSomethingElse();

• When using an if condition with curly brackets, use curly brackets for all attached conditions

if (true)
   {
       x++;
       DoSomething();
   }
   else
   {
       DoSomethingElse();
   }

• After an if, while, for each or other conditions that can use curly brackets, leave an empty line.

if (true)
      DoSomething();

   x++;
   foreach(String s in stringArray)
   {
      Debug.Print(s);
   }
   
   DoTheNextThing();

• Use String.Format when possible.
• Use String.Empty instead of "", use String.IsNullOrEmpty() instead of (x == null | x = "").

Import favorites

Favorites tree

• You can also import connections using drag and drop of files into favorites tree
• Hold "Control" key during drag drop to Copy dragged favorite
• Hold "Shift" key during drag drop to Add favorite to target group

Search for computers servicing remote control protocol

• Scan Active Directory: If your computer is member of Microsoft Active Directory, you can search the active directory for computer entries. Later you can select computers in results list and create favorites for them.
• Scan Network using port scanner: This feature offers you to scan all IP addresses in required range for known services. By default your IP address range is selected and all services used by Terminals are searched.
• Direct connect to other Terminals
