@SergioTapia Then you could probably do animation with ZedGraph fairly easily. Just detect the mouse-over and adjust the slice displacement as-needed. (and then re-render, of course)
There are quite a few different charting libraries for .NET... I used the Dundas stuff a few years back, pretty slick (but not free).
If you do ask a question on SO, just write up a detailed description of what you're actually trying to do (animated slices on mouseover or whatever) - there are several "recommend a graphing lib for C#" questions already, so being specific will help you avoid the duplicate trap.
Hi. I have a simple question which occured when I wanted to store the result of a SHA1 hash in a MySQL database:
How long should the VARCHAR field be in which I store the hash's result?
I am working on a project that has to have authentication (user name/pass)
It also connects to a database so i figured i would store the user name and password there but it seems like not such a good idea to have passwords as just a text field in a table sitting on the db
I'm using C# and conn...
This is probably a common question over the Internet, but I couldn't find an answer that neatly explains how you can convert a byte array to a hexadecimal string, and vice versa.
Any takers?
@SergioTapia beats me. I don't really use .NET. I'd say, "probably", but it's that kind of thinking that led me to get frustrated with .NET in the first place...
My team is clearly missing a developer. I have two friends that I would like to bring in, and I convinced my manager that there was work enough for two people. But the big boss said, only one.
So I hung out in here while my manager was in a meeting with the big boss... too distracted to work.
i have read that. i am still hopeful based on the ability to open the project in VS professional for extension. I am just curious to hear if anyone has done this. What are their thoughts on the code generated.
@Shog9 I just can't resist... After a second free visit to work on the home network of one my girfriend's aunts, the aunt turns to me and says "you're really good at this, you should consider starting a business." Unfortunately, the perfect response didn't come to mind until much later: "Yes, but people like you don't want to pay."
I edited that before someone made a comment about the reason for my visit... ;)
I think you can call yourself a developer when you understand the underlying code and not just generate things. If you understand what to use and when, then you are a developer and not a SmartUI developer.
Managers never look at code and could not tell the difference if they did. All they care about is whether it looks done. Most will also blame the maintenance programmers when things go wrong later.
Where I work we have free reign to do whatever we want to accomplish a task. As long as we fullfill it, we are good to go. Of course professional craft comes into play because you want to create nice code.
Here is a classic example of someone who misses the point of SO. stackoverflow.com/users/282918/ron-m 8 questions, no accepted answers, no upvotes or downvotes and he apparently has a bit of an attitude!
there was a guy in here yesterday who was obviously actively working on a project and using this chat room as a first resource for every little problem he had
of course, if we redirect that kind of discussion to the SO room, then nobody's going to sit in the SO room.
on that mvvm question i posted, it's just surprising to me how much code he can post without exposing any important/private functionality of his app... because it's all generic design pattern garbage. [subjective] [opinion]
I work with a life coach who advises to use structure and routine when it works to generate results, but to avoid busy-work. I like to take the same approach to programming.
I'm not sure about the best practices surrounding this, but I have spent a lot of time trying to make something like this work.
Basically you will need something to construct an EntityManager with. I've always used Spring for this. Their documentation has a big section on this. You can choose to...
Here's the thing with stackoverflow: I know a lot about this particular niche problem, I spent a bunch of time typing up that answer, but the fact that it is so niche means I probably won't get any upvotes. And chances are someone will come along and say "just do it like this" and that'll be the accepted answer.
Do you realize that people reading your resume don't have 30 minutes to read and understand 4-6 pages of excruciating detail about every GD project you ever worked on?
Jeff stated in a comment on my answer here that users are allowed to re-flag a post after the initial flag is cleared from the moderator queue (I infer this to mean that you can flag a post as much as you want, but only have one active flag per post at a time, which makes sense).
I've never foun...

Looks like this may be [status-completed]... see this answer by Jeff.
EDIT 2:
This used to be titled "Why can you only flag a given post for mod attention once?" I changed the title because I morphed the post into a feature request. The body of the question, on the other hand, alr...
I'm thinking of writing a little notification widget thing for myself. You know, "Display a popup with [message] at [date] [time]." Partially because I'm not thrilled with Outlook/EssentialPIM, but partially just because I could use a project. Language recs, anyone?
@ErickRobertson ... no, Java the programming language. Not the coffee bean or the island.
Seriously though, I've seen C# people come over to Java and think "this is 95% the same but there are some quirky pitfalls/differences"; I expect the same thing to happen.
I'd almost rather do something completely different.
@PopularDemand well, it did. It's no longer anything you could call "halcyon" for one. Which is probably just as well... Shoes always seemed halcyon to me, and look how that ended up...
Stackoverflow's java questions are almost at a 64K mark.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of celebration or something like that?
Like the #65535 question would appear #FFFF or something like that
I'm no fan of the phrase, but it's going to come up (often). Do we need...
to flag it as offensive?
to have a FAQ recommending against its use?
to "suck it up"?
to indicate that while one can self-identify that way, one can't use that phrase for others?
Just thinking "aloud" and wondering w...
