Good day, I've been doing some modifications to this website and the owner wants to have a horizontal scroll bar appearing when the browser window is reduced to a size that is smaller than the 'container' of the website.

Some time ago I started to develop an application. I had to learn how to do it, so I started with testing pieces of code, modules and libraries. From this testing stage I assembled many pieces that worked okay until the application did almost what it needed to do. However, very often I ran into exceptions, bugs, trouble, memory issues et...
I wrote this interface: //The idea is to use EHPrint to construct the error msg and then raise an error or //a warning, etc. This removes the need to implement all 3 'Raise' functions //as taking variable param list reducing code. class ErrorHandler ...

Before saving one of our business objects, sometimes we need to warn the user of what the potential impacts are. Say my business object was named "Company". Company.Delete() will get rid of the company and not really care about what ...

Multi-threaded programs a very new to me and while I understand the crude basics, how to go about designing a multi-threaded program is still beyond my skill-set.

I can think of quite a few components that need to be created when authoring a web application. I know it should probably be done incrementally, but I'd like to see what order you usually tackle these tasks in. Layout your usual order of events and some justification. A few possible components or sections I've thought of: Stories (i...
I have a couple of questions about good design with EF4 in an ASP.NET MVC 2 project. First, validation. Should I place my form validation within my entities' SavingChanges events? How would I obtain the form data within the partial class? Or is there a better way to do it? Second, maintaining logged in users. I come from a PHP back...
