That's the argument against consumerfireworks here. You can loose an eye; something you can do once, or twice even..
no one does that three times.

It would need to be on fire to do so.

Hi All,
I feeling nostalgic for simpler days long past follow Radsev advice a bought from Amazon the Apress gem that is 'Beginning x64 Assembly Programming' while I am not to sure it will for with my current gig. I think its going to be like other Apress books buy them, they sit on shelf for ages and then come off the shelf when it all goes sideways! I might also crack it Saturday afternoons when there is little else to do. But thanks 
Glenn.
Sorry having connection issues didn't realise this had already post (with raddevus spelt wrong!)

That is why most call them 'reference' books. You refer to them when you need them. Unfortunately, that is usually when things go sideways.
I still have a lot of old refence books that have been replaced by newer technology and the internet. I hold on to them because they remind me of better times, IMHO.
Cheers.

Me too, plus they are always there when the Net isn't!

*lol* I still have a bunch of Original IBM AT Tech Refs which include the INT21 reference and the electrical scheme of the machine mainboard/rs232 adapter etc.

Sooner or later things ALWAYS go sideways. 
I'd love to change the world, but they won't let me.

Glad you found it helpful. I am really still amazed at how nice that book is.
Very clear explanations and a lot of fun to read.

Of course that appeals to you as you are the Q&A leader here on CodeProject, but don't forget about us disciples !

While I defer to no one in my admiration for @RichardDeeming's skill and knowledge, lines like
invoiceItems = invoiceItems.Where(Function(x) Not excludePrintItems.Contains(x.FITEMNO)).ToList()
just blow my mind.
... where a function takes something and Not(?) excludes something that contains something else ...

|
|
|

It was @jkirkerx's function originally; I just suggested using a HashTable<T> to avoid having to change the case of the string.
The syntax is slightly clunky. In English, it would be closer to: "Where excludePrintItems does not contain..."

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek. It's just another language that I still have not mastered, and probably never will.

Well, it is VB and thus kinda silly to start with ...

Well, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot VB. It is a silly place.

Leave it to VB.NET to make bad code look even worse.
I learned to code on Applesoft BASIC. I will never touch Apple or BASIC again if I can help it.

Can we stop the Basic bashing please, it's a perfectly fine language without those silly {} and ; gobbledigook characters

Not that it counts for much, but I much prefer the arrow syntax => as that way I know it's an anonymous function and am not thinking "where is the Function function defined?  "
invoiceItems = invoiceItems.Where(x => Not excludePrintItems.Contains(x.FITEMNO)).ToList()
