I am programming an Access 2007 (accdb, not adp) frontend at connect to a SQL Server 2005 backend. How can I call a scalar user defined function from my vba code?
I am a unclear about file system implementation. Specifically (Operating Systems - Tannenbaum (Edition 3), Page 275) states "The first word of each block is used as a pointer to the next one. The rest of block is data".
Can anyone please explain to me the hierarchy of the division here? Like, each disk partition contains blocks, blocks contain words, and so on...
What is the best editor for Autohotkey with regards to syntax hightlighting, command completion (intellisense), testing etc.
I am doing a bit of Autohotkey programming, and being spoiled rotten by Visual Studio, I really miss these features - especially being new to the language/framework.
This is an interview question, and should concern about efficiency. How to calculate occurrences of specified word in a large text file? I can only think of indexOf() method in most programming languages, but I don't think that the correct answer.
Just curious. How many hours can you productively program for? When you are programming a certain language can you last longer?
(Feel free to add in something like what your conditions are like and/or some tips to increase your concentration)
I know it's not a programming question but I'm in a hurry to choose a netbook like this and I haven't been able to find the minimum system requirements for an R installation (e.g. minimum RAM). I am interested in a small netbook so as to be able to use it in class. Has anybody used R in a netbook that would recommend for that use?
I just came across a new BASIC implementation for Google Android application called Simple. You can read about it here:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/07/programming-made-simple.html
Clearly, a lot of time and effort has been recently put into enabling this functionality for Android.
Should the software industry continue to encourage non-programmers into learning BASIC, or are modern languages like C#, Python, Ruby more appropriate at this time?
What should or how should I decide the best approach for coding as a smart programmer. I have just started programming last year in VB, and I keep on listening this statement. But I never could find by myself to choose the best approach for coding. When I search for a coding example on internet I find different types of approach to achieve the same target.
So help me finding the best approach.
(asp.net,vb.net)
i am reletivly new to world of programming
i have a few performance questions
1. do console apps run faster than windows based app?
2.are languages like c and pascal faster than object oriented languages like c++ and delphi?i know language speed depends more on compiler than on language itself but do compilers for prcedural languages like c and pascal produce faster code than oo ones like delphi,c++(including c++ compilers that can procuce c code)
sorry for my bad english
Back in 2000, I got a bunch of programming certifications from Brainbench. However, they didn't seem to be doing me any good, and they needed to be renewed every year, so I let them lapse. Recently I've been hearing more about Brainbench, and I've been wondering - do these certifications impress potential employers at all, in 2009? What has been your experience?
I already have some regex logic which says to look for a div tag with class=something. However, this might occur more than once (one after another). You can't simply add square brackets around that complex regex logic already (e.g. [:some complicated regex logic already existing:]* -- so how do you do it in regex? I want to avoid having to use the programming language logic to append that regex logic after itself if I can...
Thanks
i am using the following function to move a ball from one location to another wherever user touches the screen..right now i dont have an i-phone to test my application and i am new to i-phone application programming so i wanted to know does this event will also make the ball slide from one point to another wen user maintains the touch??
-(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch=[[event allTouches] anyObject];
CGPoint location=[touch locationInView:touch.view];
fball.center=location;
}
Just wondering what your comments are regarding the current trend as everything is moving to the web or even the cloud. The significance of an OS or desktop application is getting less attention than web application. So to those folks out there who still develop windows applications, such as WPF. Why still do it? Why not move to web programming? Silverlight instead for example...
Hi, I'd like to know how to convert a file into PDF when I'm programming in VB. Do you have the script or if there is a pre-defined function, what is it's name?
Thanks
Hi Friends,
I have a Active Directory controller on a Windows 2003 server. My users use Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Novell Operating system on client machines.
I need to create a login script which is interoperable on all the client operating systems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated on how to accomplish this.
I was searching for a script which when runs, detects the target OS type and then run the related script to that OS.
Any Ideas?
It may not be a pure programming question but I'm looking for information about enCapsa. Do you know what it is, have you ever used it? I'm reading some papers about it but I can't really see how it works and what it can be used for in an IT company (and this is what i am supposed to find out).
If it is possible to auto-format code before and after a source control commit, checkout, diff, etc. does a company really need a standard code style?
It feels like standard coding style debates that have been raging since programming began like "put the bracket on the following line" or "properly indent your (" are no longer essential.
I realize in languages where white space matters the diff will have to consider it but for languages where the style is a personal preference is there really a need to worry about it anymore?
Hi, I am on a Mac, programming with Xcode. I have a command line application that will read/write to files in it's bundle and I was wondering how to access these files.
Thanks,

EDIT: Would it work better if I just made a folder in the user's library folder?
Hello,
I am a Computer Science student and working on a project based on Nutch search engine, I want to develop the Java algorithms to better index and search Arabic websites?. Which part of the programming code should I optimize for this purpose, any idea?
thanks in advance

Hello,
I am developing a website that has nested categories. I would like the categories to be in the url such as something like this
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Component_Frameworks/NET/Chats_and_Forums/
as you can see in the above url the categories are in the url itself. How can I develop something like this in asp.net mvc?
I don't do windows batch programming, nor do I need to go that far down the rabbit hole.
I have directory structures as such:
dir1000000/file.txt
dir2000000_1/file.txt
dir2000000_2/file.txt
I need to select the file.txt from the path with the lexicographically greatest value, i.e. dir2000000_2/file.txt. How do I go about doing this?
If I have several OS-X Terminal.app windows open, how can I move one Terminal window to another space?
I'm happy to use any scripting or programming language to achieve this, but would prefer AppleScript or calls to standard frameworks.
(Note this is to move only one window of an application not all windows.)
I see many CS students who use Dropbox as an alternative to real SC systems due to its ease of use.
Do you use Dropbox as a quick-and-dirty source control solution? Is this a valid use for it?
A friend recently had the occasion for a legal name change, which made me wonder about how to cope with that in a development environment, especially in regards to source control.
Their legal name changed, so naturally their login name and associated identity stuff changed. If they were a team member of mine, I'd like to change the record of their past commits to the project to be consistent with their new name. Is that possible in Mercurial? In other version control systems?
I'm about to start working on a C# project. I'd like to buy VS 2010, but the only other member of the programming team is already using VS 2008. I'm concerned that having two different versions of VS in use will cause code compatibility issues. Is this a valid concern?
