I have been given the task of porting an Access application to Eclipse RCP/RAP. The databases will remain unchanged, just the front-end will be redeveloped.
Having spent some away from eclipse development, I'm wondering what kind of support is available for data-binding to databases. What about controls such as DataGrid (edit/insert/delete rows), multi-line list items and so on?
What frameworks are there? Which ones are still being actively developed?
Thanks!
I'm not aware of any possibility to bind widgets directly to a database. You'll need to build a Java representation of your database models. Depending on the size of your project, Hibernate or EclipseLink will be preferable to JDBC.
JFace provides data binding that is easy to include into an RCP application. And with Grid and NatTable, there are two SWT implementations of advanced tables available, but I don't know how well they are supported by JFace data binding. Check the nebula project for other advanced widgets.
Eclipse Riena also provides advanced data binding (by conveniently wrapping JFace), but this is only one of many features. There is an experimental implementation that allows to run Riena applications on RAP.

Although it is called Razor Pages for a reason I'm just wondering if it is possible to use a different view engine, say Spark Engine or any other View Engine you can think of.
I also wonder the same thing for Blazor.
Edit: This question was previously closed because it was thought that I was looking for recommendations. I'm not looking for recommendations, I want to learn if it is possible to change the view engine of a Razor Pages project.
There is a microsoft project that changes the rendering engine to use blazor for native platform apps.
It is in very early stage, but shows the possibilities.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile-blazor-bindings/
I believe it’s completly possible, but very complicated, considering that you are going to need rewrite all the bindings and connections that blazor offers.

I'm writing a Qt application that uses a QWebView to host the UI. Similar to the ImageAnalyzer example in the Qt SDK samples.
I would like to test this UI using an automated method. A scripting interface like Selenium Web-Driver would be preferable.
Any recommendations/examples on how to do this?
Edit:
I'm looking for a solution can identify HTML elements via classes and id's so that it's maintainable and robust to change.
Tools like Sikuli (which are appearance based), don't satisfy this criterion. Note: I believe those are great for quick one-off scripting, they just don't work very well across many different platforms/configurations and over time for my purpose.
There is a WebDriver implementationfor Qt: https://github.com/cisco-open-source/qtwebdriver
Using Selenium tests and this WebDriver you can automate QtWebkit, widget and QML applications
So, I'm not sure this would satisfy your "Qt application that uses a QWebView" requirement, but when you say "I'm looking for a solution can identify HTML elements via classes and id's so that it's maintainable and robust to change." I can think of WatiR (which is a "browser driver").
It's open source so perhaps you could adapt it to drive your application.
There is also a .Net version called WatiN, but then you are restricted to Windows.

I'm about to create a new application - somewhat like a CRM. I'm thinking it would be best to diagram out all the tables/fields before I begin...but not sure what is the best way to do so? Are there tools in VS? MSSMS? Something else? I want to quickly and thoroughly create the database the application will use for its back-end.
This http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171971%28VS.80%29.aspx article explains pretty well how to create database diagrams using Microsoft SQL Management Studio. You can download SQLMS here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/
The nice thing about this approach is that your diagram is also your database so you don't have to create the diagram and then create the database, you can get them both done at the same time.
I quite like to use Microsoft Visio to map this sort of stuff out.
Or even better - a wipeboard!
You can do this inside Visual Studio. Just set up a Database and in the Server Explorer, create a new diagram. The way to do this differs in different VS Versions.
VS 2005
Another approach would be to use the Management Studio Express
You can get this one here.

Does anyone know of any good resources (books, articles, existing software, etc...) for learning how to implement A/B split testing in ASP.NET?
FairlyCertain is an AB Testing library for ASP.NET that's worth checking out. It drops seamlessly into your project and doesn't require any of the javascript voodoo that Google Website Optimizer uses (which kills your site's performance and SEO all in one shot).
I've been using it for a few of my projects for several months now with good success.
I have just written a short article describing a technique for doing split testing in ASP.Net MVC. You can check it out here
It will not take much work to make it work with traditional asp.net.
For anyone running into this post again, you may find this useful:
http://github.com/htayebi/AbTestMaster
It's an open source a/b testing framework for ASP.NET MVC which allows you to write the results either in sql database or csv file. You can download the nuget package or if interested, go through the code in github.
Google website optimizer?

I suggest you use Display Modes to achieve A/B testing.
But Display Modes just support simple problems by default.
If you already implement Display Modes in some other scenario. You can consider DisplayModeMatrix (just google it). It helps you use Display Modes more efficiency.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/DisplayModeMatrix/
Wth Display Modes you can simply delete/rename views after A/B testing to clean up your project.

I'm building a desktop application in Flex/AIR, and one of the current items on my TODO list is to develop a help system.
Throughout the GUI, there are little (?) buttons. When the user clicks one of those buttons, a HelpPanel appears, displaying some relevant information from the docs.
Simple enough.
But I'd really like to build a full-fledged help system, just like the ones normally deployed in desktop apps: a hierarchical table of contents, the ability to search for keywords, hyperlinking between help topics, etc.
Also, since my app will provide an API for plugin authors, I'd like to also provide hooks for third-party plugins to integrate their own documentation in with the core help system.
With my app, the user may not always be online, so all of the help data must be available locally (though it'd be very cool if new help content could be synchronized periodically from a server).
Building that kind of help system from scratch would be relatively straightforward, but it would also take a lot of time away from actually developing the core features of my application, so I'd rather use an off-the-shelf solution.
I've done a bit of googling, but can't find anything that fits the bill.
Any suggestions?
You might consider using the AIR html control to display html help files bound to links in your app, and built using any number of available tools for constructing HTML help screens.
If you design it using a conventional web server directory and file structure, there are plenty of tools for maintaining synchronized files.
This link references an AIR-based help system, and a possible interface to RoboHelp.
Here is a link to the RoboHelp "Packager".
