The problem you might have is customers (companies) want their dev work done ASAP. That is in my experience...

I did it with my kid's pc too. Whole new pc. Swapped old HDD out into new box. Win 8.1 Started up just fine!

Windows Forms developers that had never built a web site before

Ouch. I have been there.

Doesn't surprise me at all. And google dropped the do no evil motto So yea.. not surprised.

Yip.. something that should be fast takes forever. Uhg And then having to explain to management :doh: why...

I did some Cobol a few years back. No thanks. Not again. "

LMAO. It's one thing to "learn" Cobol to write a quick hello world app. It's another to write/read/maintain Cobol applications of years of code.

Think price is a factor. You can rent Linux webservers for cheaper (here in SA) than Windows based. I do hope with the open source movement of .net, we'll get more ASP.net sites.. And asp.net pay the bills. Way Better IMHO than php etc.

Thanks. Looks like it solved it.

I have same issue. But only with IE (Internet Explorer 11). Chrome works...

sorry to hear about the stroke Walt. Keep strong!

Works on 99% of messageboxes.Shift-Ctrl-C to copy messageboxes/errors ... Example from a messagebox in IE. --------------------------- Message from webpage --------------------------- You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to .... --------------------------- OK --------------------------- That was an alert in IE ...

Thanks for the tip. Yea.. that project was done in record time about a year ago. But will keep it in mind!

Yea.. had the problem with the 0 in the excel part too. But we used it too, because the calc method had a lot of logic to output HTML, so we reused it for the excel outtput. Worked like a bomb (but the 0 was problematic)

Ouch! I Hate having a dependency system that takes data in a certain way. You have to continue using the "bad" code!

Blue Bulls must win. Yea.. Cheetahs made a comeback!!!

That is so true. Every company has their own standard(s), methods etc. I don't think it's fair to expect someone to know all :omg:

Everyone makes mistakes. If you look back on your code in 5 years time I'm sure you'll be horrified by what you thought at the time was fantastic code. QFT!!!

I had the same issue with a company where I worked. There were 2 major ego people (the 2 leads on the project). They tried so hard to be the "best". Their egos couldn't fit into the building. They always had issues with people's coding. On EACH project they went, the complained about people (developers). Now my questions is how do you have these 2 people review anything?
