A: Why does the Visual Studio editor show dots in blank spaces?

~ FOR VISUAL STUDIO 6 ~ use: ctrl+shift+8 to toggle on/off. (or manualy go to: Edit> Advance > "View Whitespaces") goodluck! Works also for Visual Studio 2008, when Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard/Mapping Scheme: Visual C++ 6 is selected.

As phrased, this is not an appropriate question for Stack Overflow. If you are asking for suggested improvements to your code, you want Code Review (read this guide first!). Otherwise, you should read the questions to not ask and what is on-topic. — Shepmaster 35 secs ago

How to create a read-only property exposed to COM? I posted the question and the answer, but Hans Passant is the real hero here. I was working on a COM library to be consumed by VBA. I'd never done anything like this before, so needless to say, I spent a good amount of time digging around ...

The purpose of the code, as I understand it, per your description seems to be easily accomplished with a pivot table. That, or you need a database, not excel. — Raystafarian 2 days ago

Rubberduck 1.3 code inspections would flag these Call statements as obsolete. The inspection somehow got broken in the 1.4 release though

Zak

and I'm only just getting it through my head that things should be broken down into single-operation subs/functions as much as possible

Mat's Mug

@Zak that's PascalCase - camelCase starts with a lowercase ;-)

Zak

and they should (generally) be designed to be as re-usable as possible

Quill

@Zak On a related note, can the close voters redact their vote seeing as the code is now included

mplf

@Phrancis That depends on your DB server config and how you're querying it. Although I agree, 22 queries in one transaction is excessive

Hosch250

2:00 AM

@Zak I sure could write a review - use reasonable names.

Dim I                                   As Long         '/  General counters
Dim J                                   As Long         '/
Dim K                                   As Long         '/

@Hosch250 it's not Russian Roulette until you add the kahlua so probably 5:1 odds

@JeroenVannevel scoping issues?

Jeroen Vannevel

No, I just don't expect people to put their return statement in a getter in a block

So I immediately casted it to a ReturnStatement

which causes a slight issue when you have a BlockSyntax

that'd call for a "remove redundant scope" inspection/fix

Got dishes to do. Let me know how things work out with VSDiagnostics.

@JeroenVannevel R# does it ;-)

Jeroen Vannevel

We'll get there!

Mat's Mug

I know you will

Jeroen Vannevel

Oh boy. A using() statement inside a method counts as 1 statement, even if that wraps 20 lines of code

that's a nasty one

Evening. Finally.

@JeroenVannevel interesting. same with if() ?

what about while() and everything else that defines a scope?

Jeroen Vannevel

let me write up a test scenario

Yep, both if and using

so I assume the others as well

I'll add a block to the tests as well

aaand that one as well

I guess that explains it then

Anyway, there was a reason I came in here tonight. A week ago I posted a clock for review. I thought maybe a few of you might be interested to see how that clock has evolved (and the real reason I had for writing it)... (maybe it's not perfect but apart from missing unit tests I am very happy with it) :-) github.com/mproffitt/PyKryptos/tree/develop

Q: Mergesort Linked List

Provide an implementation to sort a linked list using MergeSort. Can you please critic my code and provide your thoughts on where I should improve my code. import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.NoSuchElementException; public class LinkedList<T extends Comparable<T>> implements Iterable<T>...
