In a project I'm doing I needed to basically do a DISTINCT on a couple fields in a DataTable that I had used earlier in code. Did some Google searching and came up with this MS KB on the subject. I was hoping to find it in the Framework, but hey, writing...
Was just in a chat and found out about a new feature called "Smart Captions". When you drag a table out from the Data Sources Window specified to be a Detail View, it will create all the Labels and TextBoxes (or whatever is appropriate for that field...
Today, I ran into what I think is a bug in DataTable. I created a table with two fields as the primary key and one other varchar field that is named the same name as the table. Probably not a best practice, but hey, it made sense for once. Let's say my...
Last night I gave my presentation at this month's NUFW Meeting . As unprepared as I was, I think it went pretty well. Before showing up for the meeting, I had the slides done, but had no demos at all. This actually turned out pretty well. I decided to...

If Not You.WasAtPDC OrElse Not You.WasAtObjectSpacesSession Then You.GoToSession(“ http://microsoft.sitestream.com/PDC2003/DAT/DAT410_files/Default.htm “) End If I always thought I would like ObjectSpaces, but after watching that session I...
A co-worker asked me today if I knew of way to total up the values of a column in a DataTable, other than looping through the rows and adding them into a variable. I thought I remembered off the top of my head that the Select Method could do what he wanted...
