Could you rephrase because what you want is really unclear right now.

It works for DISTINCT but also work for any kind of subselect. If you wanted to count all the employees living in a city, you'd only have a small edit to make here. Good tip.

Might work, who knows. It's not clean however and certainly not the norm.

Wow! I definitely didn't know that!

Your questions is too criptic.

You can't feed byte data to Acrobat Reader without saving it in a file. Take the data, save it as a .pdf file and launch the app normally.

Thanks, I corrected it. I also changed the arrays that didn't support Contains.

I don't really like your method. It implies that if the string isn't in array, it's false.

I'm glad it worked for you. GL

Thank you! Nice tip!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I get a "The resource cannot be found" page. Is the page supposed to exist on every TFS server versions? We might have the 2005 version or something.

The problem is mostly that I don't know if I can remotely read a .csproj file on a Team Fondation Server. The rest is kinda easy.

Tons of error and don't really give any tip at all. The highlight bug and it's even worse because it'll erase text if you move selection during typing. Lots of problems.

I guess it's not a bad start but prehaps you should also check if the element is part of a string too.

Question wasn't clear. In the question, he talks of ArrayList as a constraint but accept an answer that do not use them.

Question not clear enough to be answered.

In WPF it's really really easy. No.. more like.. ridiculously easy.

Simon Dufour 30-Aug-10 8:51am View

Please not that some functions are static. Depending on how you set things up in your application, you might want to remove "static" and simply use them as normal functions.

It will only allow you to drag a UI Element inside its container right? There's no validation, no way to control the other UI elements while you're dragging or anything like that. I'm asking because I think that if someone need some sort of complex drag behavior, I think this method wouldn't work. Aren't I right?

Interesting tip. Definitely a vote 4 for me. Would have given a 5 if it had a answer to the questions I've asked because I think it would be important to define the scope of the tip a bit better.

Simon Dufour 26-Aug-10 13:19pm View

Yes, I know. I suggested the first answer in case the original poster didn't want to use a FOR loop because he thought he'd have to loop through the whole list.

Is not a solution.

Simon Dufour 26-Aug-10 8:11am View

First, a binary search assume that the ArrayList is sorted. Second, a binary search will only return ONE element.. not a whole list.

It look like interesting code but it's almost unreadable and there's not explication at all.

Title is useless. Question is not even complete. Rework you question and you might have some help!

Title is wrong.. question is both unclear and is impossible to answer.

Good advice. Might help even more than actually giving the answer.

Next time, check the preview and fix the formatting. In VS, you can shift tab your code to the left edge and replace TABS for spaces in your options.

Voted 1 because it's not a good tip. It's a good joke however. As a joke I'd give it a 5.

Thanks.. I guess the best way to check for bool? is the make an Equal(true).

Why not "if (frm.ShowDialog())"?

Simon Dufour 13-Aug-10 15:55pm View

The question isn't too clear. I'd like to help you but I don't understand what you need.

Simon Dufour 16-Jul-10 8:13am View

You have project constraints then that's how it usually turn up. Good luck :).

Simon Dufour 15-Jul-10 12:42pm View

If you can gather the date and log it in a file somewhere, you can find a way to show that data in a web page. What's you problem exactly?

Simon Dufour 15-Jul-10 12:15pm View

Do you mean without reloading? That'd mean you'd need AJAX in your page. You should make your question clearer.

Questions with no details. No signs of any effort that the person has even searched for a solution himself. He even mark his question with a "its urgent". It won't be useful in the long run.

Simon Dufour 14-Jul-10 13:04pm View

I think he's searching for an algorithm that search for keywords in files. I might be wrong.
