I have a watch range with certain cells highlighted yellow. For each of these cells, there is a corresponding reference value all located within one column. I want to highlight all cells in my target range red for which the value in the corresponding reference cell matches the value in the target cells. The code I've come up with is a...
If I have a time variable in Ruby, how could I say that it refers to an event that happened one of the following: "x minutes ago" or "x hours ago" or "x days ago" Obviously if something happened 2 days ago, I would not want to say it happened such-and-such minutes ago. ...

As a C# developer, I have become highly dependent on the automatic formatting in Visual Studio 2008. Specifically, I will use the CTRL-K,D keyboard shortcut to force things back into shape after my sloppy implementation. I am now trying to learn Objective-C and am missing certain features in Xcode, but probably none are quite as painf...
I have a decimal number, say 1234.500. I want to get it to display 1,234.4 Im currently converting it to a double to remove the trailing '0's. string.Format("{0:0,0}",1234.500) removes the decimal place, and other formatting options seem to use two decimal places regardless. Can anyone offer insight? ...

In Access 2003 I need to display numbers like this while keeping the leading zeroes: 080000 090000 070000 What is the best data type to use for this? ...
I'm trying to post some code snippets on my WordPress blog, but when I copy and paste, it strips out all the leading spaces from each line of code. It doesn't seem to have a problem with leading spaces being there in general, since I can add them back in manually, but it doesn't like them being pasted in for whatever reason. Is there s...
I have data in Excel files that I am pulling out using the MS Jet OLEDB provider. The results of my select are being passed into a component that I cannot change to generate an html table on the fly. Some of my data files contain numbers that I need formatted with commas (#,###). As I said I cannot change the output component to forma...
HI All, I have an XML output coming back from a ssh connection and want to display the results cleanly on a webpage. What control is best suited for passing an XML string? Do any of them give expand/collapse functionality as with IE? Thanks and Regards, Al ...
I'm going to rely on the saying that no question is a dumb question, but I have a slightly dumb one to ask. EDIT: Seems that this question has been asked and answered a few times on here already, though using titles I didn't come across when searching for duplicates. Here are some related posts: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15...
Is there a macro or preference setting that would automatically align method parameters along the columns and colons in Xcode? Basically a shortcut to turn this: [object methodWithParam:theParam another:theOtherValue something:theSomethingValue else:theElseValue]; automatically into this: [object methodWithParam:theParam ...
I have an unbound DataGridView (in VS 2008), of which one column contains a file path. I'd like to format the string using the TextRenderer class on the ColumnWidthChanged event without actually modifying the underlying value. The problem is that the contents of the table are saved when the form is closed and I don't want to save the for...
I'm trying to turn free-form text into something more structured. I have a complex pattern that matches the great majority (well above the minimum acceptable limit) of the data available, and I'd like to use that to assist in structuring the data, rather than parsing the text character-by-character. The problem that I've just run into is...
Okay, this question seems to be really stupid one, but my point is that if you take a look on Scala 2.7.6 API, they had made mappingToString method deprecated. Therefore, there should be more elegant alternative for printing custom-formatted Map. Since for nearly any purpose, having equivalence method of mkString in Map is really handy. ...

Is there a tool that will auto-indent code that uses object initializers in the following manner: SomeType someType = new SomeType { Prop1 = "prop 1 value", Prop2 = "prop 2 value", Things = new List<Thing> { new Thing { ThingProp = "thing prop value" } } }; i.e. using the same br...
A discussion has come up in my office about the use of ternary operators. There are two sides to this discussion. Side 1) That ternary operators are easy to write and read, therefore convenience is a net cost-savings. Side 2) That ternary operators are difficult to maintain because they require excess code-churn should they ever need t...
Whenever I use the Eclipse source code formatter / beautifier (via the menu item Source - Clean Up or CTRL - SHIFT - f) it reformats statements that I have broken into multiple lines back into one line that is longer than 80 chars, eg I have: public CDataCacheContainer loadDataset(CDataFileDef dsd) throws IOException { and it beco...
