I'm writing some code for someone to update a pivot table field based on the contents entered in a particular cell. I am unfamiliar with VBA and programming for excel but I followed some tutorials and would like if someone here could look over what I've done just to see if everything looks ok be...

I'm attempting to implement a simple long-polling/comet/reverse AJAX solution, and came across the concept of delegates, specifically with the BeginInvoke and EndInvoke methods. I've built a Web Service that uses these concepts, but, having never used these, they make me a little nervous, and I h...

In your function you are using threadId before it is assigned, is this intentional? I am pretty sure that this will give you an error, especially if it doesn't give you an error when you try to use it, it will pass garbage to whatever method you are trying to call here. The only .BeginInvoke ...

This Stack Overflow answer to the question "Is there a VB.NET equivalent of C# out parameters" is pretty clear: No, there is no equivalent construct that allows a non-initialised variable to be passed to a method without a warning [...] However specifying the <Out()> attribute, despite bein...

I'm no expert in design patterns, but I fail to see the benefit in having a completely empty interface. public interface IParentView { } Interfaces do two things for us. They enforce a contract. Anything implementing this interface must have this specific public api. Which allows for... ...

Although it seems there exists a design pattern (a lot have mentioned "marker interface" now) for that use case, i believe that the usage of such a practice is an indication of a code smell (most of the time at least). As @V4Vendetta posted, there is a static analysis rule that targets this: htt...

This code is terrible. Do not ever write this code again. This is by far the most repeated failure of design I've seen. I'll also be the first admit in the past I used the EXACT same code when I was a junior developer. What is fundamentally wrong is abstract class Repository. You are forcing i...

You should also be using <cstdint> instead of <stdint.h>. Stick to just the C++ equivalent libraries that are all incorporated in the std namespace. The class name integer should be capitalized to Integer. In general, class names, being the name of a type, should be named differently from func...

The Dir() function in VB and VBA can accept wildcard characters (* and ?) but only in the basename of the path. Dir("path\*.txt") is a valid request but. Dir("path\*\*.txt") will return Error 52 "Bad File Name or Number", because * is an invalid folder or file name. I created the abilit...

I think your abstract class should "implement" the IRepository interface, because otherwise you will always have to put both the interface and the base class in your inheritance list. Also, I think you should name your Repository -> SqlRepository, since all the code in the base class is coupled t...

First of all, a minor complaint, but be careful when using 'use strict'; at a file level—when concatenating JavaScript files for minification, this can have adverse affects. Whenever possible, use it at the top of a function instead. Anyway, on to the actual code. Your arrayAverage function is f...

The first and foremost difference would be.. The print is not a language construct whereas an echo statement is ! From: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1/fid/40 Speed. There is a difference between the two, but speed-wise it should be irrelevant which one you use. echo is...
