The Weird and The Wonderful

It was also handy back in the days when only single array indexes existed and you wanted dual indexes because everything mathematically matched up really handily without taking extra steps. for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)// Not at all like the format of older languages! { for (j = 0; j < 10: j++) { ind= i + j * 10; val[ind] = some value } } Or the other way around, find the two indexes from the current index: for (ind = 0; ind < 100; ind++) { j = ind/10; i = ind - (j * 10); }

Because it was a coding horror.

This forum isn't for programming questions. If you've an ASP.NET question, ask your question here (Quick Answers)[^] or here (ASP.NET forum)[^] The quick red ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>. My latest article: Understand how bitwise operators work (C# and VB.NET examples)[^]

Wrong forum.

The old one had been in production for a long while. Users knew that it returned correct results but just took too much time to run. They got timeout messages from time to time. Instead of fixing it, it was easier and quicker to write a new one. TOMZ_KV

1. May be the poor soul was forced to do VB and was just frustrated. 2. Coding finished. Comments never implemented. 3. Finished may be an event and the handler was never implemented. 4. It's a clue to treasure. Could be anagram. I can think of mine, eleventh and prism as the words. 5. May be it's Dave showing off his CCC skills.

In some point, two or three years ago, I discovered that coding as primary job is a dead end. Then I switched to project management and scrum mastering. Benefits: 1. Still working in "application development" and having contact with new technologies 2. Finally having time to code for fun (when and what I want!) If you're sick of it - think about something else to do. It will not pass or get better. :(

That just makes me angry.. :mad:

There were 2 projects in the solution, neither one had any real code (I like to lay out my projects before I start working). From what I dug up, it is a VS bug that has been there for a while. (Too lazy to pull up a link) Gryphons Are Awesome! ‮Gryphons Are Awesome!‬

Sorry, but I never knew someone had all the time in the world to write an article on a phallus, embellished with pseudo-theology . ;P

Wow, talk about doing it the hard (and wrong) way. I suspect that this is a symptom of the state of on-the-job training in the programming world. It usually goes like "hey here's a new programmer, do this." But I still don't see how one becomes a programmer without learning the basics of SQL. No one likes code reviews, but it's useful for things like this. Also, I love how @@FETCH_STATUS is global. I once saw an expensive production system blow-up due to a legacy code time bomb in the form of a SP using a global variable like this.

I've worked on a lot of different things in that time. For the most part it's been a pretty fun ride. Software Zen: delete this;

In that case, it works does not mean you should use it. This is totally unreadable at first. In the professional World, when any day you can be out of project(read job, as worst case) and some other poor sod has to maintain it, this is one of the things that leads to rants and posts in this very forum. :) "Bastards encourage idiots to use Oracle Forms, Web Forms, Access and a number of other dinky web publishing tolls.", Mycroft Holmes[^]

Easier isn't always better.

Mangement likes what you've done to address the issue, however, they would like to know if you could enhance the feature by using more colors? :laugh: It was broke, so I fixed it.

And on laptops the stone age isn't over, really. Try getting a laptop nowadays with that resolution. Luckily I got mine 2 years ago. Wout
