I've recently completed my MCAD. I also have a CIW Site Designer cert, and am looking for a job. The problem is I have no experience, so I am stuck in the no experience->no job->no experience vicious circle. Any advice on how I can escape this trap?

Experience can be gained on more than just going out to work. You might want to consider contributing to an open source project, or writing some articles for CP. These are a good way to demonstrate to potential employers that you haven't just sat on your ass and have actually done something practical.

Hi,
there's my code:
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Users\root\Desktop\toto.docx");
Process p = Process.Start(psi);
If word is closed, p is my process.
but if word is opened, then p is null.
I work with Word 2007.
How can I make it work ?
Thanks

Using the word "work" in your question doesn't make this appropriate to the Work and Training Issues forum. Please choose a more appropriate forum.

Many adverts quote "XML" as a skill required.
What does this actually mean? Isn't this like putting "text" as a skill 
Is this a buzzword just put on there by managers?
You put it on your CV because people expect it to be there, but what are they actually expecting you to know?

Not sure. Putting just XML is pretty vague.

Perhaps they make people down that size drink at the interview as a test.

I am looking at moving to C# from VB. What I'm looking for is the differences in syntax and structuring an application.
I've started rewriting some of my utilities in C# and keep hitting syntax differences that are taking me way too long to reaserch.
So a book or research material would be appreciated.

Not sure where I can help you out, but one thing I notice that is fun is switching back and forth between the two. I teach VB.NET at the local college, but develop professionally with C#, and it gets to be funny when I forget ;

Try declaring a Property 
Trying to close a connection on a SQL Command object with
oCmd.Connection.Close;
generates an error (still to chase that one down)
If statements feel odd, foreach is better, class declaration will require some study and I will probably need to redesign my global declaration of my DAL.
I'm hoping there is a resource that will be specifically for cross training. I can't use a beginners book, they are too painful. More advanced books assume too much and I end up chasing a syntax issue all day.

[Paul rubs eyes] I thought originally it was you going from C# to VB, but it's the other way around. Must be bed time

Close is a method, maybe using "oCmd.Connection.Close();" will work.

Yah got that one, and I love square brackets  .
I'm actually thoroughly enjoying myself rewriting all my VB utilities. It's an opportunity to upgrade them in detail. My DAL originated in VB5/6 and a whole swag of UI hacks are getting thrown out as they are now included in the .net classes.
I downloaded the book Robert recommended, light reading for the next few days. And Google is great, prefix every query with C# and some other poor sod has already asked it!

You should pick it up really quickly, and if you get stuck using Reflector to translate between VB.NET and C# could be helpful.

You realize this is not a wise thing to do in a public forum?

What ideas have you come up with?

Not the end solution but it will set you on the right track. Consider using the OleDbConnection object to open the excel spreadsheet. This will then allow you to execute T-SQL commands against spreadsheet as if it were a table.

Hi,
I'm working on a project at work which involves updating the programming language our program is written in from C to possibly C#.
I'm only at this job for a short period of time, I was wondering if it is possible to update parts of the program at a time to C#, yet still allow the whole program to work?
In other words, is there a way getting a program to run by writing it using two different languages?
Thanks,
Alan

The only way to do that would be to split the application apart into separate DLLs, one in C and the other in C#. There is more work needed to make sure that both assemblies can work together and that the main application can use both of them and still work correctly. It's possible, but not trivial.
