Cannot convert type 'MyNamespace.MyProject.SalesForceApi.ListViewRecordColumn[]' to …
Adding the SalesForce Enterprise WSDL in Visual Studio generates 2-dimensional arrays instead of 1-dimensional arrays which compiles fine, however, an exception surfaces at runtime as a result of this error which is due to an issue with the XmlSerializer Code Generation component; it cannot handle some cases of nested unbounded elements.…

Reset Git Branch to undo a pull or a merge
This is more a note to myself put here in case anyone searching for the same solution might find it useful. Yesterday I pulled a remote into the wrong local branch and couldn't find a way to reset the branch again to undo my mistake. Fire up your chosen command prompt, which for me is currently the Console2 Command Prompt and enter the following command. [code]git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD[/code] This solution is suitable for undoing a pull or a merge. Full details on the git-reset Manual Page. I still find Git a bit harder to master than Mercurial so I can see me adding a few more short posts on here for my own future reference.…

Console2 - My new and improved command prompt for Windows
I am a sucker for a good looking GUI so when an opportunity presents itself to try and improve my workspace to make it more easy on the eye I will generally take it up. Recently I read a post by Scott Hanselman 'Console2 - A Better Windows Command Prompt' and I immediately got myself over to SourceForge to download a copy of Console2 for myself. The project describes itself as "a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles". I'm not going to cover how to configure your instance of the Console because Scott's post already does a very good job of this, however, what I do want to share with you is my own configuration and how I have made it a bit more useful for me. First of…
