Ok, I've searched the net everywhere and I can't find a solution to this one, so I'm resorting to blogging to see if this has happened to anyone else. I recently built a rather lengthy set of presentations, and I used the tools window as a ring of snippets...

As many of you know I have made some strong statements in the past regarding ORMs (in fact I’ve probably lost readers over it). Recently in my day job , I was given two projects that I decided to use an ORM for (and I used different ones each time...

[I’m sure some vendors aren’t going to like me for doing this series]. Last time I wrote on this subject I mentioned that I was not convinced that I was using the best Refactoring tool available and I had decided to retest them all (at least...

So a co-worker (Scott H.) sent me some code that is purely fictional (but a sick part of me wishes I had actually found it in the wild). Here's the code - Public Function IsNotFalse( ByRef Value As Boolean ) As Boolean IsNotFalse = False If Value = True...

I'm currently reading the overview of VB 9 (aka Orcas) here And I just read something that made me want to stand up and applaud the VB team! Here's the statement "Because types of local-variable declarations are inferred by default, no matter what the...

When I wrote the experts post I was trying to attack a particular attitude that I see in commenters, and on some blogs. There are a lot of people out there who subscribe to what I now call "ICUI" which stands for "It's cool! Use it!"

Hurrray! VB'ers get Refactoring in Vs 2005! It's the community edition of Refactor! (which appears to have a better feature set than C# refactoring that will be built-in). Download is here . My understanding is that Microsoft heard our cries, and made...

I had a conversation with a friend this morning that somewhat scared me. This friend has been the biggest VB.Net proponent I have ever met. His stance is what has inspired to stand up to " stupid language bigotry " (BTW, this ended in a truce). I have...

The last few days I have noticed an influx of the term AJAX around the net. After a little bit of investigation I realized that it is nothing more than a technology that I invented (or maybe Microsoft did...) I know that may seem hard to believe. But...
