I've been working with Unix again after a break of many years and enjoying it all over again :) How long is before awk and sed are going to come back into...
I'd like to use TDD (i.e., NUnit) for a fairly complex project. Unfortunately I haven't found a (reasonable) way to make it work for a big chunk of the system....
I would like to clarify that, just because you're using NUnit, doesn't mean you're doing TDD. NUnit is just a tool that permits developer tests. It doesn't...
I guess Brad and Richard caught me out on the TDD thing. It does seem to be as easy as Richard illustrated. I think I was guilty of thinking forward with the...
390???? When I were a lad we toggled the DPSI switches on our 370 and were glad to be able to! Kids theses days. ... -- G. Waleed Kavalec ... Copyright: G....
... I think you meant to say: "Man, those weird-ass new-fangled PC keyboards! They call Return "Enter" and Enter "Ctrl". And let's not even mention the fact...
... I'm no stranger to the 3270. Although I always preferred a terminal emulator, because then at least the keys were in the right place! This WYSE [1], [2] is...
I guess I should really ask about this, because I've been wondering for years.. If you read the documentation for say FileSystemObject [1] or SQLDMO [2] then...
... I've used Monoppix but not Mono Live. I was really excited to see Monoppix come out (to which this comment [1] can attest) because I think it has the...
To derive the enumerated values programmatically, you can use the typelib APIs - low-level [1] or high-level [2]. Of course, if you just need to know them, you...
Answers to some of my questions: The DAB does not handle database independence... though you can build this on top of it (as Don D. quite successfully did). ...
... DataSet is the poor man's Document. It works. ... Keep thinking about it. If the word 'Document' doesn't do it for you, perhaps you'd like the word...
... How about this (it's not MSDN, but it IS good) http://www.carlprothman.net/Default.aspx?tabid=81 ... I've got a "very simple" persistence layer that uses a...
... ViewState size isn't a problem if you store it in Session state.[1] And for something that is too big for that, store a proxy object that knows how to...
... You're asking for concurrency problems if you do that. Lost updates, dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, phantom reads... you name it. We really should be...
John, Thinking more on this... I figure one reason I don't like the term Document is because it is too general. An abstraction is a generalization... but if it...
Marc, I'm very leery of Session state. It drives me crazy that you can have two browsers connected to the same session... which FireFox does by default (IE ...
... Yeah... but I don't believe in 'meaning', remember? :) ... "Paper" is just another way of representing information in physical reality. "Document" is a...
Marc, Can you expand on "mapping"? I'm not certain I see where you're going (or I guess more accurately "have been") with this... Can you post a small example...
... Unless they've changed something recently, this has not been my experience at all. A new FireFox window has no access to the old session cookies, unless it...
System.Xml Lurkers! I don't mean to panic here, but I can't see where XmlReader.ReadAsObject() went in Beta2. Is it GONE? I can't see how to get the same...
