Hi, I am trying to get the worst run-time complexity order on a couple of algorithms created. However I have run into a problem that I keep tending to select the wrong or wrong amount of fundamental operations for an algorithm. To me it appears to be that the selection of the fundamental operation is more of an art than a science. Afte...
I've been using VS 2005 and VS 2008, and never asked this question, but now I'm having a hard time using controls in VS 2003. A dataGridView does not exist, and I'm forced to use DataGrid control to show some data. The problem is, that I want to edit some of the values displayed by this control, and to reflect those changes in database, ...

I hope this isn't OT. I've got an idea for a social site where the content is provided by the users. I see two problems: You open the site, it has very little data to start with You've attracted a few users, how do you encourage them to add content? I'm imagining something like yelp.com, where the utility really comes from the user ...
I need to create a script where someone will post an opening for a position, and anyone who is eligible will see the opening but anyone who is not (or opts out) will not see the opening. So two people could go to the same page and see different content, some potentially the same, some totally unique. I'm not sure the best way to arrange ...

When using mp3 files I'm not sure how to handle data (the data I'm interested in are the the audio bytes, the ones that represent what we hear).

If storing multiple (10+) values on a large number of divs, is it more optimal to store them all in a single object, or as separate values? Single Object: $("#div_id").data("data", {foo:1, bar:2}); Separate Values: $("#div_id") .data("foo", 1) .data("bar", 2); What are the trade-offs of each method? Some of these attributes wi...
a little background info first. I have been using Web Forms for most of my career and have recently become interested in .NET MVC. I realize that it is intended to be stateless, however, i dont understand how it is completely feasible. In a forms application, the user authenticates and I return a user ID and some roles which are then pla...

Does anyone know of a data provider or service that could be used to do this? EDIT: I understand that the location of cell phones or VOIP lines probably cannot be geocoded and this is fine by me. I am ...

Currently, we are returning all dates over the wire as strings "YYYY-MM-DD", but we also need to represent the concept of partial dates. What I mean by a partial date is a date value that has unknown components, either a Year-Month, or just a Year. In our presentation lay...

Therefore, there was a very nice one-to-one relationship between model, view, and controller. You have a single row in the DB, which maps to a single model. The controller ...
In a database the data is stored dynamically. That means the metadata defines classes and attributes. The user data is stored in object and object attribute tables. To simulate how the data is represented, I created a linq query in LinqPAD: XElement test = XElement.Parse ( @"<DynaDaten> <CLS ID='99' CODE='T_PERSON' NAME='T_PERSON...
The platform is ASP.Net 3.5sp1, with an Oracle db. We've considered both MyGeneration and Entity Framework for time and convenience in the DataLayer (and maybe some base classes in the Business Layer). My questions are: 1) Any pros and cons of using Entity Framework vs MyGeneration? 2) Any thoughts on using MyGeneration to generate...

Hey guys! I always get great answers here, so here is another question (this one may be simple, but I don't know if/how...). If I embed a PowerPoint Presentation within an Excel Worksheet, then, within the ppt, set up chart objects on each slide, can I go into the data table for the chart object, and have it refer back to the excel spre...
