A while ago, I posted this about how much a55 I think Crystal Reports sucks. A long time ago, back at like v.7, I thought Crystal was a decent product. And to be honest, it still is a decent product. But it comes with a lot of baggage and has a lot that just makes it lame. So I had almost total consenus...

My buddy Brian Davis is probably one of the most kick a55 regex gurus I've ever come across. That's created a little bit of a problem b/c whenever I need a regex, even a really complex one, he can usually whip it up in his head faster than I can describe it to him. At work, we do a tremendous amount...

Just check this out: ----------------------------------------------- This should soon be followed up by the Farcical Ubiquitous Containment (FUC) specification...
One of the very first mistakes I made when I was learning ADO.NET was confusing DataTable.Select with Remove. I wrote this a while ago which explains the distinction in detail. Bill Vaughn was kind enough to set me straight on the issue. Anyway, in a nutshell, calling Delete doesn't get rid of the rows...
For the last week, things have gotten kind of weird in my life. And by most standards, I'm pretty friggin weird to begin with. I stared working with Wally McClure on writing a book and so far, things have been going really well. But so far I've only encountered the easy part. This week, I am going to...
My friends and former co-workers/boss and I created .NET Refactor to help us refactor some of our code and it turned into a pretty cool product pretty fast. Les is the man when it comes to writing Visual Studio .NET Add-Ins and Brian is the man that never met something that couldn't be parsed. Well,...
