Re: [OT] DevOps login fails

[Emily Waghorne]

I have had this problem and I had to clear cache (to remove cookies?) to
get it to reset itself. Assuming other members of your organisation can log
in fine.

Re: Ozdotnet list

[Emily Waghorne]

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted for ages either, partially I think because the (extreme!)
specifics of what I'm doing are usually covered elsewhere, but where I
think this group really excels with the higher level discussions - I am
still learning about new options via the list and I really like the local
factor (and even took it overseas with me when I worked overseas for a
while - like a thread to home). I will follow the crowd, and maybe even try
to contribute a bit more since you've brought us all out of our shells with
this question Stephen!

Re: [OT] sql convert datetime problem; forcing order of AND statements

[Emily Waghorne]

Hi Wal,

I'm not sure it's a case of one being executed first, because I assume the
where clause has to be executed in its entirety before the engine decides
if it matches or not. You are thinking like the  operator in c# which
only executes the second half of the comparison if the first half passes
first.

So basically you have to write it so that it filters on IsDate and only
then you run your convert. The best way might depend on the volume if data
you have. Sub query? CTE?

  I'm running into an issue with a select query; it appears the CONVERT

 Consider the data below:



 Now some queries,
 This one works, note only 6 rows are returned:

 SELECT Value,CONVERT(DATETIME, [Value],6) from DatesTest
 WHERE
 IsDate([Value])=1



 This one does *not *work: Conversion failed when converting date and/or
 time from character string.

 SELECT Value from DatesTest
 WHERE
 IsDate([Value])=1
 AND CONVERT(DATETIME, [Value],6)  GETDATE()


 1) Why is the CONVERT statement being executed first?
 2) How can the IsDate be forced to execute first so the second statement
 works?

 Cheers

Re: Questions about iPad and iPhone

[Emily Waghorne]

My understanding of Mono is that it only supports a subset of the iOS
functionality, so check to make sure what you want to use is made
available.

Native iOS is considered the way to go if you want to be taken
seriously by iPhone and iPad users but it depends a bit on your app
and your target audience. And a web based solution is definitely much
easier! (Consider android, windows mobile, tablets etc and you have a
LOT of different OS's to support...)

 The second question is a doozy and out of my areas of experience. Can
 someone confirm that .NET and the runtime is not available for iPad or
 iPhone? What kits and languages do you use to write iPad and iPhone apps? Is
 Object C still for that sort of thing? Or Java? Or HTML5? If anyone knows
 anything technical about writing apps for Windows and Mac and the issues
 involved I’d love to hear your comments.





 If depends on if your users expect native apps or not. If they are happy
 with a mobile web app that probably makes it a lot easier, you could create
 an API and mobile web app with MVC4.

 If they expect a native app you may want to check out MonoTouch.
 http://xamarin.com/monotouch/ I have not used it but it looks good. It does
 not support the full .NET framework though so that could be an issue.
