The duckduckgo search engine does not work this way, though.

I have found out how to make a specialized query for YANDEX in a modified URL.  I will ask DUCKDUCKGO for advice.

https://duckduckgo.com/api.html does not provide a solution.

Running this, http://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=stuff+to+search&format=xml , in a browser's address bar does not provide anything as http://duckduckgo.com/?q=stuff+to+search does.

This shouldn't be rocket science.  I am able to see the HTML code.  Shouldn't there be some sort of AJAX tag in the HTML that I can find to make use of?

Most search engines do not use AJAX.  But two popular ones that I am interested in is YANDEX and DUCKDUCKGO.  Both of these search engines use AJAX to advance beyond the first page of results.  How do I find a way to programatically access these pages?

I tried searching online for an example and so far I have not found anything.

There is System.IO.StreamWriter and there is System.IO.StreamReader but there is no StreamAppend. Is there some way to use StreamWriter without overwritting the content of the existing file? Is there some way to use System.IO.Stream with some sort of appending criteria?

The company, if you click on "about these ads", shows a way to uninstall this.  Once I have uninstalled this, it no longer appears on search engine results pages.

Two things are suprising and odd.

1. This ad company assumes that some people will not mind and like these ads
2. It somehow jumped onto my computer without me having to agree to anything

What one man calls a virus, another calls "aggressive advertising innovation".  The ads are mainstream (I mean, WERE, mainstream) and what one might see on television.  In a world where people love commercials, they would be celebrated and embraced and this ad company would be award winning.  In my world, they were very annoying.

Since they were right there on the search engine results page, and since they seemed to exist on a bing page and not on other search engine pages, it was rational for me to assume that Microsoft had something to do with it.  Sorry about that.

Could it be I am being hacked by a plug in somehow?

Bing now has video ads complete with sound.  And the sound cannot be turned off for all the ads, only individucal ones.  So a user cannot listen to Pandora while doing a search with Bing unless he does not mind having his favorate songs being interupted.

Who had the idea that it was OK to have video ads on Bing?  No one is going to tolerate this annoyance.

It was incomplete but I used my powers of reasoning to figure out what was to fill into the blanks.  It had a .edmx file which provided a diagram of the database.  Through poking around on what new classes provided a .edmx file, I found a class to use.  The rest was easy, I just right clicked on the diagram of the database and followed the steps.

What exactly is NuGet?

Oh, JohnAskew just gave a link.  I will give it a go.

Is the DbContext class defined and used differently in the version of C# for Visual Studio 2012 than in Visual Studio 2010?

I am using code written under Visual Studio 2010 as an example for a project I am writing for with Visual Studio 2012. I am having some difficulty using the DBContext class to instantiate a class. The code seems to required using the namespace System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure; and that does not seem to be defined in the newer System.Data.Entity reference.

To show you what I mean in coding terms, this is the line of code that does not compile:

    using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;

This is the code snap shot in the Visual Studio 2012 that does not compile:

It seems that "Infrastructure" is a component of "systems.data.entry.dll" that I have set as a reference:

But wait, there is more.  The code, as it exists in the visual studio 2012, is copied from code from a project that does, in fact, compile in visual studio 2010.

Notice, that there is no little red curly line under Infrastructure when I declare that I am using the namespace System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure in Visual Studio 2010:

The research I have done on this issue has lead to a dead-end.  This seems to be some sort of required add-in according to this web page::

You see, the problem seems to be centered around declaring and using the DbContext class.  But when I tried running this program from Microsoft after I downloaded it, it showed me that it was not for Visual Studio 2012.

I have used it to create a GUI to my SQL AZURE database, but there is no generated C# code go look at.  Without this, I cannot easily customize what I want to do.

If you look at the Solution Explorer, you will not find any code to step into.  So I do not know how customization can work.

SQL Azure has a new, default front-end user interface and an older version.  I have been able to navigate to the older version UI but now I do not know how to get back to the newer version so that I can add some t-sql commands on my database.

This is how the older UI (the one I am stuck on) looks:

I am trying  a code sample from Azure that is to create a custom Login Page in ASP.NET and MVC 3.

It claims to use the ACS Management Portal. It instructs to log on to the my Azure homepage and "navigate to the Service Bus, Access Control and Cashing section."  Where is that?  I do not see this on my Azure homepage.

The example is listed here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh127794.aspx

The step says:

To configure the sample via the ACS Management Portal

 Where is that?  I do not see this on my Azure homepage that I am instructed to navigate to.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDIHfE5utkk

The youtube video instructs to use this syntax.  But what is the constraint?  Which table should be altered -- the main one or the index table?

This instructional video does not explain how it is to be done.  It shows how to create the required three constraints but nothing beyond that.  So, what else do I do?

I have a database now on the Azure system.

The tables in the database have an intended use such that there is one main, logically centralized table and then there are a number of tables which each describe some column in the main table.  For example, if I have an age classification column in the main table, I might have a separate table which lists some categories of the age classification (as a string) and some associated index.  Then the index from the age classification table would be used as a reference in the main table.

Is this what a foreign key is?  Is there some way in SQL Azure to make the association between these indexes?

The sample code "Windows Azure SQL Reporting ReportViewer-SOAP API usage sample" requires it:

Prerequisites •You must install the Windows Azure Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.3 or later to run this sample. You can get the latest version at Windows Azure SDK Downloads. •An active account for SQL Reporting with the server name, username, and password. See  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=204134. •Reports hosted in your SQL Reportinginstance. See the related sample at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/SQLAzureReports.

But the link for "SQL Reporting" seems to be a dead link.  And I do not see a feature on my Azure account that is SQL Reporting:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/TechOff/How-To-Modify-An-Element-in-the-Dictionary-Class

Once I have the data nice and sorted like I want it, how do I spew it back out in the nice and ordered fashion?

In C#, how do you output the contents of a Dictionary class?

Once you have loaded a Dictionary class with keys and values, how do I cycle through them and output the individual values in a foreach loop?

C# has this cool Dictionary class that you can use like a Hash Table.  Is there a way of changing the value of an indexed element without resorting to removing it like this?

               int value = runningcount[city];
                runningcount.Remove(city);
                runningcount.Add(city, ++value);

One cool trick is this.  If you read from a file data that is arranged in a similar line-by-line structure where each line is arranged in columns spaced out by tabs, the data can be read into a kind of class in C# and then you can parse out one column of data by simply doing a "for each" command.  Does anyone know off-hand how this is done?

Basically, what I am talking about is this.  I understand how to read a file line by line:

            int counter = 0;        
            string line;
             System.IO.StreamReader file =
                new System.IO.StreamReader(filename);
            while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
             {
                 Console.WriteLine(line);
                 counter++;
             }
            file.Close();

Now, how would I go about replacing Console.WriteLine(line); with code that will organize the data automatically into members of a class provided that the line columns in the input file are seperated by /t (tabs)?
