    Fun with VB !!!
    AvatarVBTeamSeptember 6, 2007Sep 6, 200709/6/07
    Who says you can't obfuscate VB code? For fun, I tried writing some VB code which was shaped in the letters 'vb' (that's right, the code itself forms the shape of the letters), where the 'v' and the 'b' are formed from the Visual Studio inifinity logo. In case you're having trouble visualizing that, here's a picture. Because I'm forming the ...

    Sons and Daughters Day: a pure blast!
    AvatarVBTeamJuly 15, 2007Jul 15, 200707/15/07
    On Friday, Chris Smith and I (Chris is a test engineer on the VB Team) attended an event called 'Sons and Daughters' day. The day consisted of 2 sessions (20-25 kids in each) where kids aged 6-13 were run through a class of writing an app in VB (20-25 kids in each). The class was very introductory, but eas very appropriate for the ...

    Linq Cookbook, Recipe 6: Your first Linq Application using Northwind (Kit George)
    AvatarVBTeamJuly 11, 2007Jul 11, 200707/11/07
    This example is intended as a ‘primer’ for following recipes (so we don’t repeat the same instructions multiple times). This recipe takes you through everything you need, and assumes only that you've installed Visual Studio (and in so doing, you've installed SQLExpress). Subsequent Northwind based Linq-To-Sql recipes ...

    Folks, we’re gonna start a ‘cookbook’ of LINQ entries, which we’ll be building over time. This is just meant to be a series of solutions to specific scenarios, that the team comes across when writing code and using queries. I can't think of a better way to communicate everything you might use LINQ for! The point of...

The basic idea is to time and then compare the duration of various 'IsPrime' implementations. The 'client' simply allows you to run various IsPrime implementations...

    All, I recently went on a trip to 3 Asian countries, and thought I would share the notes.Here’s my summary of the recent trip a colleague and I made to Asia. The trip was cut short due to a typhoon in Manila, which was a real shame: my colleague and I were very much looking forward to seeing the Philippines. However, the trip ...
