I'm trying to use Report Builder 2.0 to query a Sharepoint List using an XML data source. I explicitly list the fields I want returned because otherwise I don't get all of them, due to some of them being null sometimes. However, one of the fields I need has a space in its name. If I do a query where I don't explicitly specify fields, ...
I'm using LaTeX for an algorithms assignment and I need to show the steps for Horspool's algorithm for string matching similar to what is shown in the textbook. The way it demonstrates the algorithm is showing how the pattern shifts along the text for each failed comparison, with each shift on a new line. The pattern is shown below the...
I hate to ask such a dumb question, but I'm just starting out, so here goes. myString = "2 to 2.5 power is " + Math.Pow(2, 2.5); I want to format the resulting number to 4 decimal places and show the string in a MessageBox. I can't seem to figure this out or find the answer in the book. Thanks! ...

How do you get "absolutely positioned" columns with cout, that leftaligns text and right-aligns numbers? #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; struct Human { char name[20]; char name2[20]; char name3[20]; double pts; }; int main() { int i; Human myHumen[3] = { {"Mr", "Alan", "Turin...

Hi, i'm writing a double value to a file. The numeric value is written with a point as a decimal separator. I would like to use a comma. How i can do that? ...
I've always hated comments that fill half the screen with asterisks just to tell you that the function returns a string, I never read those comments. However, I do read comments that describe why something is done and how it's done (usually the single line comments in the code); those come in really handy when trying to understand someo...
What layer of a system should a date be formatted? Should the date be formatted when it is selected from the database (data layer) or should it be formatted at the presentation layer? I am thinking that the formatting is a visual preference so I would tend to put it as close to the presentation layer as possible. Where do you store t...
Looking at other people's code it seems really common to include an extra space inside curly brace blocks. Is there a reason for that? To me it seems to add extra keystrokes for added ugliness. Especially when things get nested: lambda { (1..5).map { |i| { :a => { :b => i } } } } For some reason it just looks more concise and coherent...
I grow tired of carefully hand indented multi-line function arguments or logic statements being reformatted on cut/copy - paste operations. i.e. code that started out like LPCTSTR FoldersToIgnore[] = { _T("_Disk"), _T("_Storage Card"), _T(".Production-Archive"), ...

I need to display a formatted number on a web page using JavaScript. I want to format it so that there are commas in the right places. How would I do this with a regular expression?

I have people entering alot of ammounts in form, so pressing one key less is what will count on huge ammounts of data. Idea is not to press decimal separator when entering currency ammount. I need some subclass of JTextField which will automatically show decimal and thousand separators while entering number. Is out there something alrea...
What is the best practice to create templates for outgoing email? Should I have each class create the html for the specific email? Should I have a text template with placeholders that are replaced by a common method? In the first option, I'd have a sendEmail method that takes the formatted html string and send the email. Multiple cla...

I'm preparing some documentation and need to format my source code with line breaks that need to appear in column 70 throughout the file. The text editors I have only seem to have features to word wrap the source at this column. I'm wondering whether I need to do this manually since - because of the varying length of the last word at t...
I am using a DataBinder.Eval expression in an ASP.NET Datagrid, but I think this question applies to String formatting in .NET in general. The customer has requested that if the value of a string is 0, it should not be displayed. I have the following hack to accomplish this: <%# IIf(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MSDWhole").Trim...
