Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Although I have no preference, aren't they using VB with SSIS?

    In 2005 yes, but in 2008 you can use C# as well. My current work place is using C# for ASP.NET developmnet, but I prefer VB. I find the VB syntax especially the way you do code blocks with For...NEXT, WHILE...END WHILE, IF...THEN...ELSE...END IF better than "{""}"

    Since I've learned C#, I find VB way too chatty. All those extra little words that don't progress the code just start to get on my nerves now in a way they never used to.

    I have a short question depending on the article I intend to write (CLR solutions to split strings).

    What do you like more C# or VB.Net? It doesn't matter for me but I would like to write the functions good to read for the most people.

    Thanks!

    Can you include both?

  • Hi

    I will include both C# and VB.Net. I will include the most important functions:

    * Paul's version which simply uses string.Split because it is a one line solution

    * The RegEx solution motivated by Phil and Derek because RegEx is the most flexible solution

    * The character loop based solution because it was the fastest one

  • Wow, this thread actually has technical content slipping in 😛

    Wow, this thread actually has technical content slipping in 😛

    Only for a short time I am sure.

    Another note for the non-Twitterer's is that there have been 358 sessions submitted to PASS so far, deadline is Friday at Midnight, for about 80-90 slots available. Good competition for those who submitted and great content for those who are going.

  • Steve,

    Your comment in the Interview Questions thread about being interviewed by Gail reminded me of comments made in here earlier about interview sessions at the PASS conference.

    Has anyone submitted that idea for the upcoming conference? 😀

    I don't think anyone submitted it, but I did mention it to Andy Warren (on the PASS board) as a networking idea for lunch time.

    I think you'll be all set. You've submitted 3 good sessions, had positive feedback from last year's session, and have MVP status.

    Of all the people submitting, I'm pretty sure you're on the short list.

    It's the rest of us who need to worry.

    you can't have a war if no one shows up.

    That just means you won.

    That's actually pretty much in-line with the anticipated 4 to 1 ratio of submissions to available sessions.

  • I think we'll work on some networking stuff, perhaps with interviewing.

    I'm not sure of how the ratios compare with previous years. I thought there were over 500 submitted last year, and we're near 400 this year.
