UNO classes to VB .NET - openoffice-writer

I've found some samples of OpenOffice UNO dll to try out with VB.NET, but I'm still having issues with it:
It doesn't want to compile with any version of .NET Framework over 2.0 (Which is at least 7 years old!)
Sample is very poor in functionalities, just insert some plain text without formating.
Are there any specs or documentation available for UNO for .NET? C# or VB?
Has anyone had a good experience with OpenOffice Automation and .NET?

I have successfully used OpenOffice UNO SDK in my projects.
I posted hello world example in answer to this question "Hello World" using OpenOffice 3 sample code

C/C++ support (binding) of reporting tools?

From the last few days, i am trying to figure out best reporting tools for my work. I have mongoDB database server and now i need to integrate it with reporting tool. For mongoDB i used the C binding so i am looking for a reporting tool in C/C++. I came across some great tools like BIRT, Jaspersoft and Pentaho but i didn't get clean answer whether they have support for C/C++. So my question is do they have C/C++ binding or API?.
Also if you have some other tools recommendation for my work then please share that also.
To answer your question: No, these tools don't have a C/C++ API.
However, as Stennie pointed out in the comment, this shouldn't really be necessary, as you can use them with a http API. If you really want to use integrate them tightly with a C/C++ program, consider embedding Java into your program and see Embed Java into a C++ application?.

Charting with IronPython

I'm trying to plot a signal in IronPython (VS 2012 Environment), from my quick google search I couldn't find anything useful, other than couple of paid options
ChartFX & VISIFire
found from a similar question posted here (4 years ago),
Just wondering if there's any open source charting tool available now for Iron Python, please note Trail or Community edition aren't an option.
any suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks!
OxyPlot is a modern cross-platform plotting library for .NET.
It is published under the MIT license and can therefore be used in commercial projects.
It supports lots of chart types, provides examples and documentation and is under active development.

Use c++ Code in Unity3D

I am using unity3D for the first time to develop a game.I have written a code in c++ using Opencv and the code consist on many files.Now I want to apply the result computed by c++ code to a 3D character.
How i can use my c++ code in unity.Please help me.Remember I am using OpenCV Libraries in my c++ Code.
Thanks!!
You need to write a DLL file and use it within Unity. There is many examples on how to do so.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Plugins.html
If you have some money you can also purchase the Unity source code that is written in c++ though that seems a bit overkill.
did some googlefu...
C++ is not a scripting language, and can only be used with Unity in the form of plug-ins (in the Pro version). C# is closer in syntax to C++ than Javascript is.

Free Pascal without Lazarus

Could any of you chaps point me in the direction of a good tutorial or book for Free Pascal that does not rely on using Lazarus? Ideally I would like just to write code in a text editor and compile/link using the command-line. I have no existing knowledge of Pascal at all.
Unfortunately all the material I have uncovered through Google assumes the use of Lazarus, prior knowledge of Pascal or refers only to the pre-Delphi/FPC versions of Pascal without 'modern' features such as dynamic strings, objects and so forth.
Lazarus doesn't change the base dialect possibilities. It is only an IDE and visual library over freepascal, nearly everything nonvisual is FPC.
Just install FPC and compile with
fpc <programname>
As reference for the dialect see the Free Pascal reference guide, which contains nonvisual examples. When you have a base level of knowledge, you can adapt Lazarus related examples to your own environment.

Improve this question
If you use one of course, which one?
MyGeneration
T4
UML Transformation Tool (precise which one)
...
All others not listed above since there are so many
Do my hands count? :)
Eclipse EMF and JET.
CodeSmith Studio - lots of great sample templates that work with it.
"Normal" code-gen tools I use that many people don't think about:
Windows Forms designer
XAML for WPF UIs
LINQ to SQL
Other code gen tools that are obviously code gen in the project:
ANTLR
Custom tools I wrote such as one that turns an Excel spreadsheet (File.xlsx) into code (File.g.cs)
Eclipse Xpand and Xtext, also known as openArchitectureWare.
I tend to avoid code generation and generate dynamic functionality at runtime, using either C# DynamicMethods or C# Lambda Expressions... I prefer not to have generated code in my solutions...
I'm using the following code generators:
Visio Enterprise Architect for generating SQL scripts for creating and updating databases
NConstruct for generating NHibernate mapping files and sometimes for generating "first draft" of an application
Visual Studio for generating UI design files, project and solution files etc.
Jet Brains Resharper for lots of code snippets, template based chunks of code etc.
I believe my productivity would be much lower without code generation tools. Code generators usually don't produce bugs in generated code so this is also a good reason to use them.
I just started playing with the code generation features of Enterprise Architect. It's nice having code generated from the model instead of the database layer, but unfortunately their code-gen tool is a bit unwieldy. So far I've tweaked its C# template to produce bare-bones CSLA classes which at least saves me a lot of typing.
Jeeves (discussed in Advanced Perl Programming).
I have a pre-build step in VS 2005 that executes Jeeves to produce source code "just in time" for compilation/linking.
I often write code generation scripts in Python. In the distant past I have also used Perl. Either language is well-suited to the task.
DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit
Can be configured to read any style of specification language, and generate code including post-code generation optimization.
I use for generating code from UML:
Visual Paradigm for UML
Netbeans IDE + UML plugin
For editing/ generating GUI's:
Netbeans IDE
MS Visual Studio
For anything else
Python (because I find it's just the quickest way to hack something together).
i use own generator jUle
