With CPhog and FF3 I seem to now be able to recover (using the back button) from that most of the time. I but I do remember copying important/lengthy posts to the clipboard from time to time.. John

The point: I know if I am being derogatory or not.  I do not need other (unqualified people) to make that determination for me.    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not! * * * If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

CLR based code may/will be useful for the areas where TSQL is not optimised; that is procedural code, string handling and complex calculations. You also have access to .NET Framework classes for registry, files, XML etc. Comparing the performance of XSPs and CLR is probably moot anyway since XSPs are deprecated in SQL 2005 onwards.

Most likely an employee called and tattled. Using that statement as the probable cause, they got a court to issue a search warrant. I know a company that got hit for $2M in the late '80's after they fired someone that knew about the pirated software. It was his going away present to the company.

Those are some good ideas as well.  Treating all of the internal data as Strings will be less efficient for me because I would have to keep converting them to their actual types (ints, Decimals, DateTime, etc.) over and over again.    I have not played around with Attributes yet, and that sounds interesting, but since I may have various CSV formats, where certain values may be in different locations, I am not sure if that would work.    But thanks anyway for the ideas -- great food for thought!    Peace! -=- James Please rate this message - let me know if I helped or not! * * * If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

Well, I see 50 mesasges per page already so thats 2 default pages, plus i check back fairly frequently. Also I hardly create topics in the Lounge so... And anyway, if people stop reposting topics how am I supposed to gauge how popular they are? My current favourite word is: Nipple! -SK Genius Game Programming articles start -here[^]-

It comes packaged with the OS and it's got their name in the version information. From my point of view, it's their responsibility to make it work. It doesn't matter a rat's ass where they got the code. That said, I would never use Windows Backup. It's overly complicated. Recovering single files is difficult and extremely slow. It stores too much meta-data about the backup separately from the backup data, often rendering the backup data itself useless. Its worst attribute (as mentioned in the original post), is that it will create backups that it claims have been 'verified' and are 'error-free', yet are unrecoverable. Software Zen: delete this;

Never mind :-D As you've probably found out, you can change your votes now with the .net version of CP. Cheers, Vikram. The hands that help are holier than the lips that pray.

I have one program where reflection was very useful. The goal was to make a program that could be extended to allow the user to configure any of the devices we made that use a specific protocol. In an effort to keep from having to write a new data class and UI class for every device that came out, I parsed some product definition files (text files) and used reflection to create the data classes and UI (that provides basic validation capabilities and the ability to use enums in a CheckedListBox or ComboBox) at run time. Without reflection I would have had to.... ummm... I don't want to figure out how I would have done that.

Alt+5! This blanket smells like ham

List rocks! I'm just sorry it doesn't expose it's methods as virtual. I have so many situations where I need to attach descriptive data to a list, and using composition is a PITA. I have to guess which List methods to redirect up front, such as Add, and Remove, and an iterator. Then, later on in code, I find I need more IList features, such as Contains etc. I also don't like exposing the contained List, as it's cumbersome to always first reference the List property.

I have even worked at places where GUI bugs are considered low priority issues No true professional would ever do that. That is a sign of the old style programmer who thinks that code under the hood is more important than the ease of use for the customer. Anyone who has ever had to support their own software will quickly understand how critical the UI is. I think all developers should be forced to spend a stint in the support department on a regular basis so they can understand the real world a little better. "I don't want more choice.
