  • Visual Studio Updates

    Could the lack of color in the Beta and RC just be a more extreme version of  WPF's Sketch Flow skin?

  • What's next with the .NET ​Microframew​ork?

    Add generics.

  • New C++ runtime library

    Since LINQ is a library of functions (incase of .net utilising IEnumerable and IEnumerator).

    How is different to learn a new library? @c_str 

     C and C++ is full of libraries developers have the potental to learn. 

    From a maintainability standpoint, the last two example @syspri provides are much simpler.

  • ClearType on Tablets

    Each pixel is in fact three sub pixels RGB, these are align horizontally. When turn vertical the there's no sub-pixels horizontally.  

  • Can someone check my math?

    Isn't it something like the following C#

    PointF B(double t,PointF P0, PointF P1, PointF P2, PointF P3)
    {
      return New PointF(B(t, P0.X, P1.X, P2.X, P3.X),B(t, P0.Y, P1.Y, P2.Y, P3.Y))
    }
    
    double B(double t,double P0, double P1,double P2, double P2)
    {
      if( 0 <= t && t <= 1)
      {
        double a = (1 - t);
        double b = 3 * a;
        return (a^3 * P0) + (b^2 * t * P1) + (b * t^2 * P2) + (t^3 * P3);
      } else
      {
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("t");
      }
    }
    

     

  • Bad (as in terrible) software

    Misuse of the MessageBoxes, especially when it in a loop. Thunderbird is a pain for this, when its processing message filter. Plus a lack of information to fix it. Which message did fail to send? Which Filter? etc

    generate some form of report at the end with all the messages, or a some of come-back to list. 

     

    Another is Web-Pages that suddenly jump to content down the page, I'm reading that. Auto-activation of media should be banned, nothing worst then multiple ads shouting their wares at you.  My mouse has buttons, should I want to watch it I'll click.

  • Die Hard 5 - What should the tagline be?

  • Windows Phone 8

    @magicalclick: I'm on about virii targeting NT itself not the OS personality on top of it.

    Plus WP8 apps are likely to be WinRT compatible, so they could target but the phone and the "desktop" feeding grounds. Unless there some magical sandbox technology Microsoft hasn't told use about. (Drawbridge?)

  • Windows Phone 8

    So longs it (WP8) doesn't prompt you for elevation to before letting you dial a number.

    Then again it minimise the number of drunk texting.

     

    Another thing doesn't that mean that the WP8 is susceptible to Windows (Desktop OS) virii & other nefarious coding ? If so where to the AV software fit? Carrier responsibility (Push based) or phone based?

  • Got an error installing the update to NuGet

    Run VS as Administrator, and the UnInstall option is available. 

    Uninstall -> Restart -> Install new version.
