What's Wrong with Strongly Typed Dataset Designer(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 3 years, 3 months ago

Is LINQ Becoming a Monster?(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 3 years, 4 months ago

Breaking changes to the String class in .NET 4.0(davesbox.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 3 years, 6 months ago

This change will affect the behavior of the String.StartsWith, String.EndsWith, String.IndexOf and String.LastIndexOf methods by changing them to perform an ordinal (byte-for-byte) comparison by default instead of a culture-sensitive comparison using CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. In addition, the default overloads of String.ToUpper, String.ToLower, Char.ToUpper and Char.ToLower will be changed to use CultureInfo.InvariantCulture instead of CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. read more...

Debate: Do We Really Need Three Layer Architecture?(forums.asp.net)

submitted by joycsc(1597) 3 years, 6 months ago

I could say, less than 10% in both cases for my case. I found the similar statistics for my other known developers. I guess this is true for less that 10% of the developers around the world. read more...
