Dil didn't state it well, but he does have something of a point. Minimum wage jobs may not exist much, already. If they do exist, WHY do they exist? I ran an operation that was VERY seasonal in that...

The problem I have with that minimum wage is that it is one size fits all. You likely can't live in New York City on $15/hour, yet that is also the median wage in the state of Mississippi (my mother...

I was going to say the same thing.

String concatenation is far slower than you might expect. Strings can't change size, so every time you use += (&= would be better, but the same speed), you are...

I haven't tried that, but I did try the IDataReader, and I believe it automatically includes IDisposable. If your class doesn't implement IDisposable, it probably should, if only to call the base...

See, that's one of the things about the south: Your crawfish only live for one year (or two, they can manage that). Up here, a one year old is less than an inch long, and I'm not entirely sure that...

You'd need MORE than 100 years, you'd just say it was 100.

But you'd only need to implement those pieces you are using, which sounds like a distinct minority of the methods.

I've always thought HasRows was utterly useless, though I admit to having used it once or twice. Whenever I used it, I always asked myself, "self, why are you using this?" to which I answered, "I...

I also just did a little playing around with the SP and confirmed that it really does run just fine in SSMS.

Better yet, I just confirmed that the SP is actually running correctly. I went into the...

In the OP I mentioned that there were three blocks that started with BEGIN TRANSACTION, then there was a BEGIN TRY, some stuff, and a COMMIT. If there was an exception, then in the Catch block, the...

That's the way it ALWAYS works, for me. I accept the blame, too. It just keeps things going smoothly.

Well, not in THAT implementation, but this is getting stranger and stranger, as I have increasingly solid proof that the SP is actually running to completion in spite of reporting an error....

Would you be willing to change it just a LITTLE bit? If you used the IDataReader interface rather than a DataReader directly, then you could make any class you want that implements the IDataReader...

Something just dawned on me: Is this a web application or WPF?

I wandered off for a bit, as is my wont, but now I'm back....with more data, and more confusion.

When I run the SP from within SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), it runs successfully without...

I gained a bit, then lost it, so I'm at the same weight I was at before the pandemic. On the other hand, I've been staying away from the gym, which can mean that staying the same weight isn't...

They run on the same UI thread unless you tell them otherwise, and that's usually the way you want it.

Actually, it's more like me after a year of COVID.

Not when coding, it makes the keyboard too greasy.

Well, at least the marsh of Malo is still squishy.

I always thought St. Malo was more of a marsh, but I only had a squishy, sugary feeling about it.

That sort of true, and sort of not true. Population growth rate has to be above replacement (about 2.1 or 2.2 children/woman) for the population to keep increasing. The growth rate is below...

I'm more curious as to why you have to transition to .NET, especially given what Delaney said. It might be possible to move to .NET, but it sounds like CATIA is intended to work with Excel, and Excel...

If it's your site, you could change it. If it's not your site, why would you be wanting to add text to it?

Moved to office development.

Nope.

It all could change radically. Energy storage is probably the biggest problem facing the sector these days, but it is a problem that has a variety of solutions on the horizon, some better some worse....

I'm not clear on where the Object comes from, either, but in your original post you show a series of CheckChanged handlers. In case you weren't aware of it, the sender argument IS the checkbox, so...

If your predictions come to pass, I'll console myself by reviewing your predictions about the demise of .NET with each new version of VS, and realize that your crystal ball was no better than that of...

Uh-oh, we might be distantly related. That name isn't familiar, but my maternal grandmother's family is from up in that area. They were descended from Hessian mercenaries left behind by the British...

Everything I could think of was only stupid if seen from a certain light. After all, what is the real objective? If the real objective is to write code, that's one thing, but if the real objective is...

Frankly, I'm not terribly concerned about some1uke03...except for what his username means, of course.

Eduardo's comments did get me thinking though: Anybody could ask for anything. If they have...

Oh, don't worry about that. You were already crazy. We know because you decided to automate Excel in your program;)

There are so many interesting little gotchas with Excel. Great program, and well...

You're going to have to explain what constraints you are working with. It's quite likely that it can't be totally determined, despite what Si said being technically true. After all, if these are...

You don't have to be very far out of date to be totally wrong in this area. Ten years, or so, back, there were articles in...either Scientific American or Popular Science, about how this level of...

If we are going to imagine a hypothetical language, then the answer is a definite maybe. It all depends on how we imagine that hypothetical language to behave. The class IS created, so there is...

The brook I lived on was larger. I could canoe up it for a couple miles, and down it until it merged with a larger river. Had to jump a whole lot of beaver dams in either direction, though. Well,...

That's how I grew up. We had the only buildable spot in a valley that was all flood plain easement controlled by the Army Corp of Engineers. It was the overflow for a distant flood control dam. If...

Technically, wood pellets aren't all that bad, since the carbon they are releasing is then being recaptured plus a bit. There is a certain net loss in transport and manufacture, though, but the same...

I am writing a log, but not to a file, that's to the DB in the service. The service can be called several times in quick...ish, succession. Once all calls have been made to the service, the calling...
