If your talking about non .NET technologies, no. But if you want to create a suit of applications based on .NET, then the n-tier dsign is the way to go. Build a data access library (DAL). Create a business layer (BAL) that references the data access library. Then create seperate applications that reference the business library. You may be able to take your existing code and refactory it out into the different layers and then start building the new applications and share all that common DAL and BAL code. If your forms/pages are making calls directly to the database in your corrent solution: it may be harder.

I'd do it the right way. You'll be a better developer for it. See Walkthrough: Creating an N-Tier Data Application[^].

I'd give kredit to the person who had it install it. Unless it's changed, it can be an real effort.

I'd implement a menu bar &/or a toolbar. So no matter where the user is in the app (unless in a modal form) they can add a student quickly by selecting the "Add Student..." menu item. I would also include a shortcut for the menu item. I would add all the common tasks a user needs in the menu bar.

1. I'd guess they are using TraceListeners[^]. The one you're probaly after is the TextWriterTraceListener[^]. The link has a code snippet on how to implement the TextWriterTraceListener to help get started. The first link shows how to setup a listener declaratively using the config file. This is the better way to go because you can control your listeners without recompiling the application. 2. Don't know

Are you doing this because you prefer C# or because you don't want to learn Java? It's not hard to learn Java if you already know C# plus all the tools, guides and forums target Java. You'll be making you're life a lot harder than it needs to be if you don't go with the flow.

As mentioned Eclipse if the most popular, the other 2 main players are Motodev Studio and IntelliJ IDEA. I've heard people are also using NetBeans. Eclipse can run on a number of platforms. I use a Mac but I'm guessing most use Windows. Eclipse is free and most of the support forums relate to Eclipse.

I hate the contempt Jetstar/Qantas has towards there customers. The cabin staff on one flight were so unpleasant I felt like I should have apologized for being on the flight. Never again.

Have you read this[^] I find fragments a bit of a pain as well, but if you're building a tabbed application, you don't have an option. On the good side they provide reusable components

I might use this as a test question for students to identify all mistakes. It would worth an easy 5 marks. I love the hint that the connection is opened at some stage and then left open. Bonus mark for picking that up. In fact maybe there whole ADO.NET component of the test could be that one question :laugh:

You already know how many lines are in the file using the pageSize argument. Interesting as it suggests the file has already been read at least once. There may be memory issues there. Can't tell what object types fileLinesContent or fileLines are but Arrays, ArrayLists and List enable you to set the collections capacity. Setting the capacity, when initializing will potentially save memory. Why not make fileLines the same type as fileLinesContent and then you can drop the ToArray() method. As already mentioned, 700M isn't a big deal, there must be another part to this problem unless you are working on an old PC.

I think the best approach would be to learn at least one OOP programming language first (Objective C for Apple, Java for Android, C# for Windows). If you what to become a programmer, keep heading in that direction. If you want to become an entrepreneur, learn about basic business management and in particular about the software business. Many people have had there hands burnt by not researching the industry first. Don't be impatient, learn the game and you will find a lot of opportunities will present themselves.

I know you are naive because you publish your email address. 1. You tell me your idea and if it's good, I can steal it. 2. I do all the heavy lifting developing the idea and you steal from me. If you think your idea is good, you need to either learn how to be a programmer or get a legal agreement in place.

iPhone already does that. No program needed, its part of the iOS platform.

While your at it you can burn the inventor of SQL/PL as well. Business logic in a DB? I don't know why they don't just become MS Access developers. ;)

It's more about capturing someones attention rather than their interest. The "free set of steak knifes" approach. Once viewers are aware, they move on to the next con job. When I left that industry, time shifting was a big deal in TV. Make sure your target demographic(s) see the ad x number of times and then as they fast-forward through pre-recorded programming, the ad still "engages" them subliminally. They got software that does that but it's based on ratings. Ratings are provided by the networks and naturally bias.

It means anything but informative: annoying, irritating, embarrassing, deceitful, rude, stupid... but it's a little more than that. Basically it means to stand out from the other annoying, irritating, embarrassing, deceitful, rude, stupid... adverts.
