A: Write A DataTable with variable columns into a database table

MehradPedram, sure you can. Go ahead and use GetOleDbSchemaTable() to get the details. This is the way you proceed, DataSet output = new DataSet(); using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strConn)) { conn.Open(); DataTable schemaTable = conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable( OleDbSchema...

Got some Python too, if you have an IDE
(not really looking for Notepad++ and such, just actual IDEs)
 
Mehrad

I don't have Eclipse but do have Notepad++ and Sublime if that will do
Okay. No. I think VS handles Python but never fed him something like that
let me have a look
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Here's a short Python one if you want to try: 
# This is a comment
def fizzbuzz(number):
    if not number % 3:
        if not number % 5:
            return 'fizzbuzz'
        else:
            return 'fizz'
    if not number % 5:
        return 'buzz'
    return number

def main():
    for i in range(1, 101):
        print fizzbuzz(i)
Only others are HTML/JS, PHP and VBA
 
Mehrad

vba would be easy
not sure how to do PHP though

Give me the HTML. that's easy with VS

var myString = "Hello, World!";
var myInt = 42;
function helloWorld(world) {
    for (i = 0; i <= myInt; i++) {
        alert(myString);

@Mehrad ^^ making progress

@Phrancis is this font medium weight?
it looks bolder than normal doesn't it?
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Made a bit of adjustment, it's that stupid Courier font that looks like that. Here comes
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
font for sure
what font SE uses for the Code block?
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
My CSS wasn't quite right. This ^^ is what it looks on OS X (Monaco font). On Windows it would use Consolas instead.
SE uses Consolas for Windows and Monaco for OS X, which is the same setup I am using.
^^ Latest question, Monaco on my machine, looks like 8pt instead of 12pt though
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
interesting. I never knew Windows and Mac use diffeerent fonts to load the same page
 
Phrancis

They do. 
.prettyprint {
  background: white;
  font-family: Monaco, Consolas, Courier New, monospace;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
}
See the font-family attribute. It will pick whichever is the first one to be available on the client
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
and I assume say in iOS the Monoco becomes available first
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Yes. On Windows it skips it, unless you're one of the very rare Windows user who has Monaco
I could put Consolas first, result would be identical 99% of the time
And, if neither are available, it goes to Courier New, and short of that, the default monospace system font... old Courier, or FixedSys or something
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
I always wondered why they list couple of fonts in the family when you just need one. Thanks @Phrancis. you just answered one of my question :D
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
NP :D
Of course unless you're running Windows 98 or OS 9 you probably won't ever get to Courier New
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
Just curious, how is Windows coverage were you live? want to understand why you've been using Mac? Cuz my best friend lives in Sweden and where they work they don't even support Windows in their organization and it's all Linux.
 
Phrancis

Windows is most of the market. Mac are mostly independents, a few companies adopt it but it's not common
Linux... Very rare AFAIK
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
So in your case it's just the matter of preference right?
Other than Macs being a little bit pricy they look and feel nice I'd say.
It's a big move though. I wouldn't be able to do anything since so dependent on Windows
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Yeah. I run a small media business and Mac is the way to go for media. Not so much for office work.
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
@Phrancis No way!
I can do anything media on Windows.
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
Media Business?!! really. What's it called? what do you do?
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
I produce music

That's amazing
So you should be able to understand the Fourier Series better than most of us
 
Hosch250

My mom has a mac, and so does my sister.
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
I'm not sure what Fourier Series are, first time I've heard the term :)

My boss has a mac and he wouldn't change it for the world

One terrible thing even I know better than to do is in iPhoto.
They load all the photos with the application, so when you have 2000+ photos, it locks up.
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
iPhoto is bleh, as is GarageBand and iMovie
But you can turn off that thing :p
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
Then, you have to reboot the thing to regain the memory.

My HP has better hardware than the macs get, but it cost 2k (with Office Pro and a big warranty packet).

You see... isn't that interesting. We spent over 3 months understanding these series in Engineering and now I know there is a simple musical explanation to it as well

Paid $900 for my MacBook like 7 years ago, hasn't crashed on me (in a non-trivial way) once
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
Macs are very stable, yes.
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
But, to each their own :)
 
Hosch250

My moms BSOD'ed once, and my PC BSOD's 4 times in three years.

5:50 AM
Well it's very easy to design a software for a fixed hardware. That gives the Mac the stability edge
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
I think the main reason I don't like Mac is because my mom didn't let me do much.
I am king on my PC, and if I crash it, that is my business.
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
hahaha... Interesting
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
Also, Office Online is better than iWork.
They really botched that in the last couple releases.
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
even Mac users prefer Microsoft Office
afaik
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
My mom actually bought it because it was so much more powerful than iWork.

However apparently the Mac version of Microsoft office is a little bit different with shortcuts and all. so my boss runs a VM to have Office on windows

Need to do a quick merge into master... I get so nervous with git sometimes
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
Once I get the entire Learn Office suite for Windows down, I would like to go into Mac development and expand that way.
Yes, Office for Mac is very Mac oriented.
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
@Phrancis since I don't understand it fully it makes me nervous too.

Q: Simple Generic output for Deserializer

MehradDespite always reading, learning, and interpreting Generics in the past, these days I am trying to make a use of them and their power in my code. lately I have been learning about Serialization so I decided to write a little helper class for my Application to make it easy to use this feature in ...

Made a bunch of changes to local repo, then pushed commits to develop. Then I checked out master and tried to fetch, told me there are conflicts (no hints as to what they are except the file name), tried to switch back to develop and it doesn't let me.
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
daymn. and Googling starts as of now
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Been doing that for a few now
 
Jeroen Vannevel

If I had the time, I'd review that deserializer now
there's some juicy improvements :'(

appreciate it
thanks for the edit @Jamal

Crosses fingers ... git push
I think I didn't break master
@Mehrad click this please, if you're around: cardshifter.github.io/prettify-test/prettify-test.html
Notice how the font is not the same as my screenshot from earlier of the same file
Although, I think it's not totally up to date
There's a bit of a conflict I'll have to fix

@Phrancis how did it go?
This is beautiful. However the strings aren't in the Redy sort of color but gray for some reason
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Clunky, as it usually does when I try to do anything with git
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
Not in the legend though
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Yeah, that's the conflict. Getting a bit late, I'll work on fixing it tomorrow
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
Overall, it looks fantastic
well done
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Merci
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
6:36 AM
and also before you go, what do you think about dimming the line numbers down a little bit
something grayish and really light then it won't stand out
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Yeah I agree, once it get it committed correctly I'll get into design :)
 
Mehrad
Mehrad
perfect. They seem to be really blending in with the code. thought I'll let you know
good luck
 
Phrancis
Phrancis
Thanks! Once Simon is around tomorrow I can fix this, he's uber-pro at git!

@janos Haven't tried git diff I saw them on github
It's 02:14 though TTGTB :)

oh I see. Yeah GitHub cannot resolve conflicts and won't show the diff (which would be nice though), you'll have to do the merge locally
