Howzit all. I am proud to say I'm also "sort of" South African... At least I like to think of myself that way.
Short version: Parents South African, I've lived there total 7 years. All family there (except brother/sister).

Cool, I didn't realise that (don't really know AoE well) - because of name, or colour?

No, actually I didn't give the full picture in my first post... A while ago my parents moved from here (Netherlands) to SA and my brother and sister (at that time about 23) stayed in NL. I went with my parents to SA and spent the 7 years there, after which they (and I) came back to NL because of the bit of family here etc. So at the moment I am here, and my mom is too (my dad is temporarily contracting overseas), so we're never in one place for all that long at a time

Yeah because of the name! just like "joan of arc" . Actually does "van der" mean something special or it's just name? Something like "Alexander the Great" ?

I used to face this kind of questions in the interviews to test my apptitude. At the end they'd ask me,"So tell me the number of family members currently in NL". I'm generally bad at it. But I can tell you that you, your bro, & sister are in NL.

Hi!
I have 3 questions about Visual C.
1-) Will Microsoft support Visual C(native Win32 API) applications in the future? Is
there any declarations from Microsoft Developer Team?
2-) If i'm not wrong, the 90% percent of programs for windows is written in native code.
(such as Winamp). Do u think, that all firms in 2-3 years will migrate to .NET?
3-) I'm pretty good in Visual C.(not MFC) I can hook the system, change the registry
entries, write MDI programs etc. So do I need to learn .NET?
<br />
1 - do you mean C, or C++ ? They have supported them for three iterations of .NET now, <br />
I suspect they will continue to do so.<br />
<br />
2 - I think more and more people who are starting an app will use C#. I certainly do <br />
for most new apps, although my background is C++. However, if I had to write something <br />
processor intensive, I'd still use C++.<br />
<br />
3 - That depends. Are you a hobbyist ? Are you looking for work ? The C API to the <br />
exclusion of MFC I would have said would have been career suicide 5 years ago, let <br />
alone now. If this is your career, you should have learned .NET 5 years ago, and you <br />
should still learn it now. I still take C++ work, but my options would be pretty <br />
limited if I'd only stuck to what I knew. But, you'll always be able to write apps in <br />
C or C++, so if you're doing it for fun, do whatever you're comfortable with.<br />
1- i ment C.
3- i'm not a hobbyist. What idon't understand is , why i should use .NET, if i can do
all the things that i can get from .NET with native Win32API. Managed code is 3x slower
than native code, is compeletly a new library(all experienced windows programmers must
give up the old habbits), needs more resources(more RAM, more CPU speed). And if we
talk about the platform independency, Java exists till 10 years.
Besides why do u think that it is a career suicide?
PS: I read both the Windows Programming books of C.Petzold (for C and C#). He means
that we still have the option between Win32, MFC and Windows Forms. So my main question
was actually how long Microsoft will support Win32API(and indirectly MFC). We know that
we can use it for Vista. But what about by the next Windows after Vista? Will the Win32
programs still work in the future?
<br />
If you are using C, and not C++, then you're already chasing a niche market.<br />
<br />
You can't easily to all the things you get from .NET with the C API. How do you do <br />
regex in C ? I guess there would be libraries about. C is a PITA, IMO, anyhow. I've <br />
done some fair size C projects, and I found it very restricting, especially the lack of <br />
OO.<br />
<br />
Managed code is 3x slower ? I doubt it. It gets compiled into native code the first <br />
time it is executed. I do image processing code a lot, and I found little difference <br />
in speed between C++ and C#. <br />
<br />
Platform independence is a farce. I'd never push that barrow.<br />
<br />
I think it's career suicide to always do what you've always done, and ignore the many <br />
new options that open to you over the years. I started in C++, went back to C, used <br />
Python almost exclusively for a year or so ( actually this was after writing a <br />
windowing framework on Windows in C to link to Python ), and moved to C# mostly for <br />
ASP.NET. I can still code in C, if a job comes up. I do C++ and C# work currently, <br />
and I'm first with my hand up to learn anything new.<br />
<br />
Microsoft will always support the Win32 API, everything else is built on that. Just <br />
like they will support COM forever, for the same reasons. Win32 will always work, it's <br />
just no way to live.<br />
<br />

He's become a household word in the Lounge. A whole new phraseology has evolved. Post a link or reply with a smiley and rose, and you've made a "Satipsism". So what? It's an interesting thing about the Internet, the evolution (as in change, not progress) of tone, quality, terminology, etc.

Some interesting progamming messages
The function should remove all duplicate values form a string containing comma separated values.
RemoveDuplicates("a,b,c,a") => "a,b,c"
RemoveDuplicates("a,b,c,a,c,b,c") => "a,b,c"
RemoveDuplicates("a,b,c") => "a,b,c"
RemoveDuplicates("cat,dog,dog") => "cat,dog"
^
While you are waiting for a build that crashes or may be not. Here is a simple programming problem (not question). The objective is to write the following function:
string GetIntersection(string csvString1, string csvString2) { }
csvString1 and csvString2 both contain comma separated list of unique values. The values can be in any order and they don't contain commas. The objective is to return a new CSV string which contains value from both the lists.
e.g.
csvString1: cat,rat,dog,lion
csvString2: lion,elephant,mouse,tiger,rat,dog
output: lion,rat,dog^
I found this announcement[^] of a readable regular expressions library via Ayende's blog[^].
Basically, it's a .NET library that lets you type regular expressions like this:
Regex socialSecurityNumberCheck = new Regex(Pattern.With.AtBeginning .Digit.Repeat.Exactly(3) .Literal("-").Repeat.Optional .Digit.Repeat.Exactly(2) .Literal("-").Repeat.Optional .Digit.Repeat.Exactly(4) .AtEnd);
Instead of
Regex socialSecurityNumberCheck = new Regex(@"^\d{3}-?\d{2}-?\d{4}$");
^
x = NullShortcut(Foo.Bar.GetBaz().Names.Child);
if any of Foo, Foo.Bar, ... is null, x becomes null (without messing around with exceptions)
I mean, really.
^
if (3 < a < 10) {...}
or...
if (a [> 3 && < 10]) {...}
cause this if (3 < a && a < 10) {...}
gets old, quick.
^
Given two strings with characters in any order, the objective is to find whether both the strings contain same set of characters.
In other words, If A is the set of characters from the first string and B is the set of charcters from the second string, the function should return true if A equals B and false otherwise.
bool SameSetOfCharacters(string str1, string str2) {}
e.g.
SameSetOfCharacters("BACD", "AB") == false
SameSetOfCharacters("ABDADBCC", "ABCD") == true
SameSetOfCharacters("A", "AAAAA") == true
As usual the point is to have fun, and not neccessarily to find the optimal/best solution^

CP Forum tricks & tips..[Will add more]
1. If you find a *good* post beeing voted down with two 1 votes, and you just want to do some help for it, just wait. Dont vote it up. Your vote's gonna make it grey.
2. If you are arguing with someone, and the other's guy just got vote down by someone, you need to hint him you are an innocent,you didn't do it .
3. Never try to explain someone like "I tried to vote you 5 but I accidentally clicked on "spam"/"abuse". cuz it's got a confirmation dialog.;P You cannot do it accidentally.

Toxcct this is cheating. 6700 has no significance other than it's a number called 6700. Let me see where you post your 7000th message.
