Not sure which section is the best so I'll try here.

Does anyone know why the Azure SDK requires a running instance of IIS? What does it use IIS for?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Ha.....yeah. Good question.

Basically, I'm trying to make a stopwatch to run on a computer. When we have meetings at our company, we would use it as a count-down to the meeting start. Or, on...

BigEd, thanks for the info.

rliq, thanks for the info about the timer class. Helps to explain a lot.


Any websites out there with some example code snippets that I could start with? Did some...

Yeah, I used the pad left after converting ToString(). Works well for me.

So after letting it run for an hour, the timer seemed to be about 4 minutes too fast (i.e. after letting it count down for an hour, it finished about 4 minutes too quickly).

I'm thinking it's in...

ah....perfect. Thx :)

When displaying a number, I want to convert it from an integer to a string with leading zeros. Or something like that.

So I have an integer. Let's say 34. I want that number to be displayed as...

Ok, so my boss asked me to build a business case for a sandbox development environment (we have Dev, QA, and Prod). This would be a fourth box to mess around in and would not impact those three.
...

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Returned an error



Seems like it's not working to me. Any other thoughts? I wonder if this proprietary tool can't handle stuff like this....

Heh...that's what I was talking about. It didn't seem to work.

Eh, that didn't work.

It's a proprietary tool that comes with the application that allows us to access the database without needing to log into the db server. It sits on the app server. I just...

Ok, so I want to execute this query:

Select user_id, f_name, l_name
from tableABC;

And I want it to return in this format:

abc123, Joe, Smith
sid938, Mel, Ward
iic837, Al, Jamison

Yes - there are also some other good resources out there. I don't want to advertise other sites, but I think it would be fair to mention this one if you're into Java: http://forum.java.sun.com -...

I suspect that it's highly unlikely you'll get an answer for that here. Do you have IBM support? That sounds like something you should call IBM about - after all, you're talking about...

Well, there are a couple of things you'll need to do. C++ is a good language to start with (in my opinion) because much syntax in other languages is taken from this one. The only down side is that...

Yeah, I was looking at that. Most of those look like they've been settled out of court, unless I'm reading them wrong (though there is one court verdict from Germany). And I tend to agree with the...

"free as in speach" is a pretty common term for open-source (as opposed to "free as in beer"). And you can charge as much as you like for any software you've built or adapted from GPL - as long as...

That's one mistake they'll NEVER make again!

I'm not sure I have that much time, but like I said - if you have some specific questions about specific classes or design issues, feel free to ask about them. I have my own load of design and...

You're the only one who's going to know what all the methods will be. No one else knows the system you're designing or what you need. We might, however, be able to help if you have some specific...

Yes. I was just trying to get the idea across.

And, as Arjay said, it would be wise to advise your client on the benefits of sticking to standards.

I suppose if I want freeware I'm gonna have to go with something that's not as easy to install and use.

Ok, so I want to fiddle around with Fortran to see if I can figure out the language. I've done some searches for Fortran compilers but am a little confused about the results. I'm looking for a...

Oh, and what darwen said is also a good point. There's no reason you can't teach yourself additional languages on your own. If you want to be a programmer, you'll almost certainly want to do that. ...
