ROFLOL This is the best thread ever... I was only smiling through the posts until I hit this one... nice. Personally, I like seeing other peoples work. There are plenty of smarter people than me out there and I like to see all the different perspectives.
Skip 1.1 experience. Start with 2.0. Everything that uses .Net 1.1 is no longer supported practically. Despite the confusion...there's a great reference on what .Net 3.5 is here: .Net 3.5 Namespaces PDF Download[^] In the lower right, you'll see a circle with some colors. That does an excellent job of showing you that .Net 3.5 is .Net 2.0 with "added stuff". I was confused on the subject for a while, but this really cleared it up for me.
Eh...So the fact that True/False in C# is 1 or 0 on the backend isn't enough to convince them? If you must have articles... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa664483(VS.71).aspx Explains how to use Boolean logic in C#, which translates to 1, 0 or null(unknown) Using anything other than a number or bit to denote true/false requires a lot of extra work on the developer at the expense of simply briefing everyone that 1 means yes and 0 means no. Christopher MCITP: Database Administrator Managing 48,000 production databases is a piece of cake...sure...yeah...that's what they told me in the interview.
Hrmm...Doesn't everyone write crappy code? Except for the code that gets posted on CodeProject... ;P
Yes, let's change the subject... :) Why wasn't the title P/Invoke is dangerous? As if the poor guy hasn't been flamed enough for pointing out what apparently was obvious to everyone else. :)
Well, MS does need to do a better job explaining why they have 8 different packages. I spent about 30 min. on the office site trying to figure out which differences were which and what comes with what...quite a challenge. But, I don't recommend this unless you actually have 30 min to waste...oh, you can do that with your latest vs2005 project while you wait for it to load....
Hrmm, as you may be right... :) I do not think this survey took that into account. It's more likely the guys who write web applications who use drag and drop methods said they use ASP.Net as their primary language... :laugh:
Is it the author that's ignorant? Or the people who voted that ASP.NET was their main programming language of choice?? I vote the latter. :)
The company I work for supports it. At least, they appear to support it. I am a developer, but in my past life was a network engineer and owned my own company. So, there's a lot of times that my previous clients, who I guess still are my clients, call and need support so I do it. Plus sell them systems, configure networks, etc... the only thing my company asks is that it doesn't affect my productivity. :-D ------------------------------------------- "If stupidity got us into this mess, then how come it can't get us out of it too?"
Ofcourse it does. :) SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 installations are seperate, which is why you can install multiple instances on one box without problems. :)
