Hi! My application uses a badly arranged Excel spreadsheet as a data source. I say badly designed because there's no unique identifier to each row aside from the column where dates and times are found.

I was asked this question recently in a test, which I didn't pass. For the life of me, I couldn't spot what the problem was. It's probably something really obvious as well, but even a colleague of mine couldn't spot it either. The best I could come up with was issues with bottlenecks and naming inconsistencies of parameters! I blame i...
Hello there! Out of pure curiosity, is there a way to free the memory used by a StringBuilder, other than the obvious MyBuilder = New StringBuilder and MyBuilder.Remove(0, Length) (although I guess the later wouldn't free anything, would it?) Thanks! CFP. ...

Hi all, I'm usually a LAMP developer, but some .NET work has arrived on my plate and I'm a bit stumped. If I run the following code: <% poundsign = "£" %> <% Response.Write poundsign %> <% Response.Write "£" %> … nothing is displayed.

Hello, I apologize very much if this question has already been asked, or is hard to understand. I have not been able to find the answer after much searching. Does VB.NET have anything similar to Java's JDK source code? When I used to work in Eclipse, I could right click and view the generated code, or "look under-the-hood" so to speak. I...
OK, I'm working on a project right now and I need to create a graphic library. The game I'm experimenting with is an RPG; this project is expected to contain many big graphic files to use and I would prefer not to load everything into memory at once, like I've done before with other smaller projects. So, does anyone have experience wit...

What would be the ...

My problem is that if I specify as button value MessageBoxButton.YesNo, the user cannot use the escape-key to cancel the operation. IMO this is one of the most annoying things, a progr...
