Well, thanks for your posts. Maybe I am in the wrong field. I once fancied myself a great programmer, but I think it's time to find something else in the information technology arena.
If it's taking me this much trouble to learn another programming language, then something is awry. I'm a...
I'm 41 and other peers have been telling me to get out of the programming field and into management. They think I have a few screws loose in my head because I still want to be a programmer instead of a project manager, etc.
To be a programmer anyway, you HAVE to have a few screws loose in your...
STSUING, Those two guys on the cover of the one book didn't look too happy to be there. I guess WROX didn't pay them much...
I am actually in the DC area and I work right now as a govt sub in Alexandria VA. I think there was an ASP.NET group in Rockville but it seemed to be very advanced.
The problem I find is that the examples I often see in books are overly simplistic and not indicative of a real world application.
Oftentimes you have to several combo boxes, and perhaps a hierarchy of forms and subforms that need to be synchronized together.
Maybe there is a .NET book out...
So you really think it makes a difference whether you are passing dataset or a datatable between tiers?
One thing I have been learning as far as OOP is how to pass data between tiers. The book presented several different ways to do this and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
1) setting...
Thanks for the info. It's possible I ran into problems making changes in the InitalizeComponent section. Thanks for the info. I was concerned that something might have gotten corrupted. I was also concerned that I had 3 different versions (1.0,1.1,2.0) of the .NET framework loaded on my...
I am currently running Visual Studio.NET 2003. Yet in a Windows Application I'm noticing in the form resource file, that it lists Mscorlib Version 1.0.0.5000.0. That doesn't seem right to me. Should it map to Version 1.1?
I'm also having some strange behavior in the form. I only have one...
If I'm using a datareader to populate form controls, why would I need a datatable? I could then just use a command object to update, insert, delete records. You can't update a database via datatable from my understanding. Just curious.
Can you show me an example of populating a datatable...
You're right about experience beating studying most of the time. However I am one of those who needs to study a lot to make up for the fact that I am not a genius like Linus Torvalds or Sergei Brin.
I am able to write database applications in C# right now using class modules, etc. However I...
I think what I'm going to do is finish a couple of these thousand page programming books on my shelf on C#, create some applications on my own, then think about trying to get a job in the C# arena.
The job interview revealed that I have a lot left to learn.
For some odd reason I was offered a job there, despite not answering about 1/3 of the questions correctly. I decided not to take the job because I feel I need to know more in order to become a C# programmer.
I think they probably found someone better for the job and I am going to hit the...
Microsoft claims there is a huge difference between the versions. I wanted to get some feedback from those who have actually used it. Is there at this time a real need to switch to the newest version and what are some of the advantages of using the new version? Is there a lot involved in...
Oddly enough however I am returning an ADODB.Recordset when I use the TypeOf. Maybe this is something that was fixed in further iterations of Jet through a service pack. These books could have been released prior to this.
This is what I call a quick and dirty solution that requires very little coding. Basically you create a dao recordset object and set it to equal the form's recordset. Below is a code snippet that works.
Dim objRec As DAO.Recordset
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set objRec = Me.Recordset...
The question I have is why you are using a datashape provider? It appears to me that you are deriving data from only one table or am I wrong? Data shaping is only relevant when you need to return a recordset from several related tables and want to keep the data synchronized. Otherwise I would...
I'm using a Data Shape hierarchical recordset for a form-subform-subform unbound application and it works fine. I'm not sure if this works for bound data. But then again I don't like using bound forms.
So I am assuming if I don't have the combo boxes do any work and only display content, then the form will take less time to load and will take up less of a memory footprint? Loading combo boxes or drop down lists seems to be a very memory-intensive task. My way of getting around it is to load...
JurkMonkey, if I could use your expert opinion. Or anyone else who wants to jump in on this.
I do not know how to create a dictionary class. Would this buy me anything in efficiency? Is there a good tutorial or code example someone can provide on creating a connection class.
Lastly, this is...
I'll give that a whirl. As for the sizing of objects, I think I have figured that out by using the guidelines. Maybe there is a better way. I'd rather just be able to manually set the coordinates.
For some reason that is grayed out or disabled. Do you know why that might be?
The other problem I'm having is with the object size and position. Despite what I might enter for X or width, Crystal likes to change the value after I hit ok. I have several fields I'm trying to line up and it's...
