I am creating reports using the Microsoft ReportViewer control. I am encountering some formatting issues when exporting the reports into Excel. The problem is that I am specifying a line width of 1pt in ReportViewer, which is the smallest line possible (or is it?). When the export is done, the line widths in Excel are all thick bor...

I've heard that moq has some trouble with VB. Is this true? Is so, what sorts of trouble? I would expect it to work fine given the language agnos...
Hi, In VB6, there used to be a Collection data type that would allow retrieval of an item in the collection by either its key or its ordinal. However, it wasn't strongly typed. Now, with VB.Net, I am looking for a suitable replacement that is strongly type and could be used with a generic collection. This is a simple example of what...

I am getting an "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" on parameter index whenever I try to instantiate a session factory in nHibernate. The error comes from a procedure deep in the bowels of nHibernate.

I am having a problem that gfrizzle said he had had but then said here that he fixed it. I looked at the post and implemented what it said to do, but it still doesn’t work for me (if gfrizzle sees this, I would like to see his code) To restate the problem, I want to create business rules that are seperated from the DAL code that is gen...
What are the situations and their associated benefits of using Generics over Inheritance and vice-versa, and how should they be best combined? Thanks for the answer guys.

I am currently working on a VB.NET project and the hardest thing that I am having trouble with is that everything is black and blue. Having worked a lot with C#, I really like the way that types are colored differently. I have tried going in and having a look at the "Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors" and the various "User Types" un...

I've been working on a Stored Procedure that checks the time, then retrieves records going back over the last full 24 hour period between 8am and the previous 8am. So, for instance, assume that it's currently 10am. The stored procedure looks at the current time, notes that it is past 8am, and sets the query to run backwards 24 hours, f...
