My primary responsibility is a software developer, but I have also been tasked with doing the first level technical interviews of perspective clients. I enjoy it, so I am glad to do it, but I am finding it challenging to objectively screen candidates. I have a list of programming "trivia" questions and even some programming challenges ...
I have found the following in WPF: I have a form with AllowTransparency=true. Inside the form I put a Combobox. I add some items to the combobox. I run this application and click on the combobox. At first it does not seem to appear at all. On closer inspection (after adding more items) I see that it is actually appearing behind the for...

I'm getting a weird behaviour in my blog, only in Google Chrome. (This is a CSS/browser thing, nothing to do with the server component, Blogger, Wordpress, etc). The home page for it is admittedly too long, and what i'm getting is that the background on my main "container" element stops repeating after a certain height, but only in Goog...
I am using entity framework, using (almost) hand-crafted csdl, ssdl, and msl files. I've noticed that object construction seems to fail if the name of the EntityContainer consists of a single word. For example, for the following two csdl files : <Schema Namespace="BestProduct" Alias="Self" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ad...
I'm using PyQt 4.4.3. I've got this code, which should clear all formats in the QCalendarWidget: cal.setDateTextFormat(QDate(), QDateTextFormat()) According to the documentation this should work: QCalendarWidget::setDateTextFormat(QDate &date, QTextCharFormat &format) If date is null, all date formats are cleared. QDate::Q...

Recently I got a habit of saving my preferences in Visual Studio 2008 for future use, so that whenever I may need to recover the system I won't have to remember what have I forgotten to customize. Tools - Options - Text Editor: Here are several groups distincted by the language. Among others you can see T-SQL, T-SQL7, T-SQL80 and T-SQL...
This is for MS SQL 2005: Anyone know why the first succeeds, then creating two of the same statement in succession fails? All the statements are exactly the same. Changing the double quote to two single quotes has the same effect. sp_MSforeachdb @command1 = 'if (left("?", 2) = "p_") begin; print "?"; end;'; produces p_Na...

[Solved] Writing parsing code is a trap. A line with 15 spaces will have 15 words. Blank lines will also count as a word. Back to flex and bison for me. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { FILE *fp = NULL; ...
So I made my own carousel control in WPF. I have stumbled upon a bug and was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix this like a method call or a series of methods calls or some work-around.

I'm using the jQuery Autocomplete plugin. The strange problem I'm getting is with the lines that use in the plugin: list.scrollTop(...) Internet Explorer 8 (in all modes) claims it doesn't know this method. I've done a fix but I'm curious how this could slip past the developer. Is this new to IE8/IE7? ...
I have a menu bar which uses the below code, when the title list items are clicked they call the showHide function to change the class of the inside list to one with display block instead of none. On ie6 and ff it works fine, chrome opera etc etc. But on ie7 the inside list is render under the other elements in the main list. Everything...
I have a page that has 3 buttons on it, when a user clicks on a button it displays a model popup where the user inputs data etc. On the main page there is a dropdownlist which breaks through the model when it popups up, this is a known IE6 z-index bug. My workaround (after trying bgiframe) was to simply hide the dropdown whenever a pop...
