Not to mention emergency toilet tissue... Microsoft Press books are particularly soft.

FYI - Same code in C# returns 0 MS.
int x = 1;
int y = 1;
DateTime t = DateTime.Now;
for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
{
x = x \* y ;
}
double d = DateTime.Now.Subtract( t).TotalMilliseconds;
MessageBox.Show(d.ToString());
I have to change the loop count to 100 Million to get a time of 31millieconds back. (I was actually expecting the c# compiler to omit the entire loop. I'm surprised that it didn't) YS
Uninstalled JAVA a few years ago and haven't missed it a bit. Of course, I am above average - just ask my mom. YS
I believe you have posted to the wrong site. This is CodeProject. I think you are looking for CodePirate at www.CodePirate.Com/forums/YeOldeTavern.aspx YS
Agree. I don't know why there isn't someone at M$ who isn't in charge of making sure that stupid broken limping scrod like this is not ever ever released. I actually sometime use Visual Studio's Find in Files when I need to find stuff. Works pretty good, and you can also use regular expressions ... err... I mean IRRegular Expressions, as they do not use the standard regex syntax the rest of the world uses. (Another thing the VP in Charge of Suppressing Limping Scrod should have caught out). [Edit - I just did a search and replace of an IP address in over 2000 files using Visual Studio, and it worked like a charm.] YS

Inadvisable pun. I suggest you switch your choice of words. Just in case. Gotta take a break now... YS

I just got that Afghani reference. Apparently my profile had Afghanistan as my location. I have just corrected it to my true location : The small but proud nation of Anonymous Proxy.

Where did you get this idea?
[Hey, I just noticed that big "Quote Selected Text" button!] Take a sample of any 20 dev related articles from the CodeProject Daily News, and read the comments. That will give you the same idea - the future of development lies not in Redmond. I'm not saying that Microsoft is going away. Just that you can get the feeling that we're second class citizens in the dev world. YS

Though I should mention that I haven't got round to reading that book I bought about wpf yet and apparently its a dead dog already.
Which is caninus mortis? Your book or the WPF platform? I was under the impression that WPF is the official successor to Windows Forms. Even if I am sticking to the MS platform, I would still think it's best practice to keep abreast of Microsoft's own development tools... Not to mention that I think WPF is sweeet. Routed events, control composition , command routing.... [EDIT] Hmmm I guess I'm more of a mushroom than I realized.. http://www.riagenic.com/archives/363[^] I still like WPF though. YS

There are still Java and COBOL programmers
I hope a) You would not use that reasoning to advise someone to take up COBOL programming for a living b) If so, that you are not the career counselor at my son's school. I think I can get a job churning my own butter too, if I apply at the correct locations in Amish Country. YS

Me happy you get new word things now. grunt. YS
Actually, I have to admit I'm interested in Quantity-wise, i.e. job$. Purity of coding methodologies dont pay the bills. And the answer that "people have been saying it for a decade" is really kind of meaningless. That doesn't mean it can't happen , and perhaps relatively soon (another decade, say). The world is a radically different place than it was 10 years ago. I was more interested in actual impressions of the overall development landscape. YS
Hi Y'all I have a question; I have been a purely Microsoft platform developer my whole career (14 yrs VB->VB.Net->c#, ASP.net, SQl server). I'm happy with it, and I think I get good work done. From reading the codeproject daily newsletter,though, and especially most of the comments of the articles posted therein, I feel somewhat of a troglodyte. I'm kind of a mushroom- I don't know really know much of what's going on in the bright "real world", so I'm interested in the opinions of the intelligent and handsome members of this lounge; Is MS platform development really on the way out? What pct of real-world (Enterprise, mission critical) systems being developed today do you think are MS vs. Non-MS? Cheers, YS
I was going to say "Hopefully get someone sacked". Maybe a bit harsh on my part.
