• SQL Server db design question

  This problem comes up over and over in my designs. It must be the way I think. Here is an example: Table proposals is the depository of all data. The other table is only to enforce the constraint. An author can make many proposals with the same topic, language and category. When done, she flags just one within this group of rows as FinalizedProposal. I am keeping the data of the ‘drafts’. They are all proposal rows but just one is labeled fi ...Show All

• Visual C# Hi All: How to extend a built-in language service?

  I'd be very interested to know the places that you can extend an existing service.

Other people experience it intermitently in XamlPad itself. A few links to the problem... [1] [2] ...Show All
