I noticed a pattern that they really like string manipulation - using magic strings, concatenating HTML as strings in ASP Classic, concatenating SQL...

It would be almost the same in C#. He could have already gotten everything at Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version, but he continued to get a string and split it, as any VB6 programmer would prefer. And then, in the next line, he joined the strings with the same character on which he split them, meaning he already had the same result on ToString().

Public Shared Function GetAssemblyVersion() As String
Dim version() As String = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString().Split("."c)
Return version(0) & "." & version(1) & "." & version(2) & "." & version(3)
End Function

Dijkstra was right...

Teachers who say such things don't really understand linguistics. It cannot be poor grammar if it's 100% correct. And, languages evolve, words get new meanings - a guy may be a man, but guys are a bunch of people of any gender.

Performance is not the main reason to avoid multiple enumeration. Depending on the origin of the source, the collection may be changed between any two enumerations, so the result will be a bug that is extremely hard to reproduce.

Drugs are your friend

There is a chance, but the rates are significantly lower than in the US.

I haven't used Unix derivatives for a few years (except MacOS and WSL), but I remember they needed to reboot as often as Windows if you install or update stuff.

How it is supposed to look?

Who reads the entire documentation?

I bought Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop a few months ago, I'm very pleased with the shape and feel. Awesome material quality too.

I would recommend Xamarin Forms. XAML is still relevant, no need to throw it away. Introducing XAML Standard and .NET Standard 2.0 - Building Apps for WindowsBuilding Apps for Windows[^]

Xamarin gives you native app performance, unlike JavaScript crap.

I'm using two 24" Samsungs (1920×1200 ;P ) and, a few weeks ago, I've found an excellent software when I wanted to extend my taskbar to the second monitor: http://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/ It's a bit pricey, I'm still on the trial version. But it's a much better solution than Eyefinity. AND you do't need an AMD card with their crappy drivers.

This is a good idea, but the guy has no idea about colors. You cannot print in RGB.

I think that you can do everything that can be done in VBA (and more) using Visual Studio. I'm not talking about over-engineering, but simply writing Office pluggins using VSTO.

On Windows Server 2008 R2 it gives the first answer in scientific mode, and the second in standard mode.

You can hardly find any book that will cover almost everything. MSDN Library is the best place to start.

The only thing you can do is put all your variables in a public static class and put that class inside your project's namespace. You can then access them with className.variableName. If you declare them as public also, of course.
