This is a rant. Not an angry rant, not bemused, or disappointed. This is just a rant. This is a rant against all of the people who say: “Don’t do that, the junior developers will never understand it”. For this rant I’m looking at my own current and former managers, friends of mine, Billy Hollis, […]
Read MoreI recently received the opportunity to reinstall my operating system on my work laptop. Good times, completely hosed. So I thought I would take a moment to document what went back onto my laptop after the format and reinstall. Essentially, this is my productivity tools list. Operating system Windows Vista. I’ll take some flack for […]
Read MoreIn case you missed it here, here, or here. Silverlight 2 is released to the public. I’d start with Tim Heuer’s post, then read Scott Guthrie’s post. If you want more head over to Scott Hanselman’s post. Lots of new stuff (a combobox, finally a combobox — and a tab control), new default styling, networking, […]

Read MoreIn my last post, I showed a bit of code that would take any list, array, diction, or IEnumerable implementer, and return a delimited string. My solution created a StringBuilder, then looped thru the list, adding the values to the StringBuilder each time. Then, finishing up, remove the last delimiter. The other solution is to […]
Read MoreThis has probably been done before, but I thought I would post my implementation. Take a given generic list (or something that implements IEnumerable, and convert it to a delimited string. First, in a static class, (I have a class called GeneralExtensions for just this sort of thing), add this code. 1: public static string […]
Read MoreWhen Generics was first released in .Net 2.0, I was kind of surprised how few built in generic types there were. A List, a dictionary, a event handler; but not much beyond that. Nothing like what you see with C++ STL, ATL, or WTL. (turns out there are some reasons for that, C++ Templates can […]
