• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why the reverse German-like syntax?

  Why do the LINQ queries have to look like a SQL query in German   If you are trying to make it easier and are adding SQL-like keywords to the language, at least keep the ordering the same as SQL. The way this is, I have to know C#, SQL for triggers and stored procedures, and LINQ for the in-code queries.  I don't see how this is going to make my life any easier. > .... why then has VB decided to do it the wrong way This would hardly be a first for VB and cannot be taken as a guide for what C# should do.  I am not on the team, and am not from MS, but what's clear to me is tha ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework - hotfix. Can I discard the original Framework?

  I don't know where else to post this, but I just received an automated update hotfix for my .Net Framework that is 1,114 megs...this is in addition to the original .Net Framework that is also 1,114 megs. That's taking up too much of my disk space. I'd like to remove one of them if I can, but I don't know anything about the pros and the cons. Can I just remove the original and use the hotfix in it's place Thanks, Paul The update was pushed to you via Windows Update because it was rated as an Important security update.  In general you don't want to disable accepting updates since it will leave your system vulnerable to attacks ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Inport Wizard does not import dates...is this a bug?

  I have an Excel file with 52000 records. One of the columns is a date column d-mmm-yy. This column is NULL-able. Approximately 12,000 records have a value on this column. I started the wizard, and it happens to be that the first record containing a date on this column is record 11,012. However, the wizar imports NONE of the values, and the column shows NULL in all records. Now, if I sort first the data in the Excel spreadsheet so that some records with this date show up at the top then the records are exported correctly. In my opinion, this is a bug that will stop me to use for using at my department. Please let me know your ...Show All
