  1. Re: Question about List(Of T) when T inherits some other class...

    Why do you need to change it? Why can't you declare/instantiate it as a List(Of classA) to start with?

  2. VS 2015 Re: Dispose of a class from within the class.

    I'd suggest perhaps not making it entirely self-contained. If you have many instances of the class then they will all have their own timer. It would be better to have a single object containing a...

  5. Re: Exit do until loop after a certain time

    And when we realise we're talking about propagation of thread-local updates, you can see that it is much more likely to happen with a simple type like a bool than a complex object, because those are...

    Um, not exactly. The language makes no guarantees that the code posted earlier will EVER show the updated value to the reading thread, because there are no memory barriers. Both threads are entirely...
  7. Re: Exit do until loop after a certain time

    You'll also need to know that altering a variable from one thread doesn't necessarily mean that another thread reads the updated value of that variable. Which puts a rather nasty...

    Re: Inventory Item Class

    That's not a bad attempt, good work. One thing to note: the assignment asked for the "Inventory" class to not be a Form, but just a Class.

    VS 2015 Re: Renaming variables

    VS 2010 Re: SQL Parimeterize a table name...?

    I'm still not seeing why you'd need to if you've designed your database properly. This suggests you are creating new columns in the table as the system is run, which is the wrong approach. I'd love...

    VS 2010 Re: SQL Parimeterize a table name...?

    You can't parameterise the column or the table. That's not how parameterisation of SQL works. What are you trying to do that you think parameterising these things is the right approach?

    So is the part that you are stuck on converting a number to this "Roman Numerals" format? Or is it how the second form interacts with the first form?
