You get VB? :-D Wout

As well as the actual lambda Greek letter. Bob Dole The internet is a great way to get on the net. :doh: 2.0.82.7292 SP6a

Nope, I still remember the Aaaa_Bbbbb.Cccccc_Ddddd kind of notation. It's an OO world. public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{ public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); } }

Of course there's a solution with webservices! You can do anything with webservices, you just need enough of them. And lots and lots of really verbose XML. Can't have a solution with webservices without lots of XML! :rolleyes: Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

nope that wasnt an AD.

Scarily Issue 2862 on our tracking system was raised in 2003 - I'm now searching our codebase for DenverCoder9 :-D

It throws an exception when visible == null.

An attempt to create new, better LINQ to SQL?

It is a bit psuedo. With properly declared variables and keywords it would compile and run. Unfortunately it has a bug and is therefore quite dangerous to anyone stepping on the trap door. I forgot two important parameters. A variable for a timer and a constant for maximum standing time allowed. The trap would trigger as soon as you got up to use the restroom. Now, if you really want to use the code, rather than applying it to a trap door, apply it to an arduino or raspi controlled supper soaker water gun sitting on the desk, pointed in the direction of the standing interloper. To be not so obvious and have some real fun, place a small hidden water device on the sealing above the spot and have it spew out just enough water to make it feel like a bird just pissed on the individual. For real effectiveness, make the device focus on any area behind the desk that's within the monitors viewing area. Hmmm; It appears that I have been reading way to many Instructables and Hackadays. And also watching to many YouTube videos utilizing arduino controlled devices. :laugh:

hahahah guess you got the whole point

Now this is what happens if you Google "coding" in the "Fill in the blanks" forum

Obviously. :doh: People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Thanks a lot. I have choose Healthcare domain, May be I will keep up to date with the technology if don't get any opportunity to work the same in office. Ranjan.D

I assume this had something to do with IAsyncResult.CompletedSynchronously[^] (possibly derived from Socket.Available[^])? Interesting because under extreme and consistent load this means that the async loop could cause a StackOverflowException (even with your fixed code); I wonder if there is a way to turn off this 'optimization' without having to resort to: private void StartAsyncReadLoop() { ReadAsyncLoop(null); } private void ReadAsyncLoop(IAsyncResult state) { try { if (state != null) { var length = _socket.EndReceive(state); // ... } // Ensure that only one level of recursion happens. if (state == null || !state.CompletedSynchronously) \_socket.BeginReceive(..., ReadAsyncLoop, null); else // Maybe it's best to just always do this. Although considering how sockets use the thread pool // it's very likely overkill. ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(\_ => \_socket.BeginReceive(..., ReadAsyncLoop, null)); } catch (SocketException ex) { // ... } } I wonder if Socket.UseOnlyOverlappedIO[^] would have an effect on this, considering Overlapped IO is my 'asyncy' than IOCP.

The fastest code to execute is code that doesn't exist.

Ah, now I see what people mean by maintainable code - code that will require maintenance, and hence pay the bills for years to come. Genius.

I think you'll find the technical term is refuctoring.

Are you by chance working in a funny language where !(a<>b) does not mean b can be used instead of a in all contexts? Let's say you have a language where null == "" (for simplicity, you know?) Then you have an API that does not follow that convention and throws on a null. ORDER BY what user wants
