According to 
http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/10/30/announcing-the-new-windows-phone-8-developer-platform.aspx

You can get appdev accounts for on USD $8 for the next week.

They say that they'll charge 99 in local currency but refund the difference in 
the next month. My local currency in NZD but they want 70.

I wonder if this is a ex rate reversal?

What do you guys get for AUD?

RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception

2012-09-16 Thread Troy Schuetrumpf
Over time more people are joining 3g networks with devices that have higher and 
higher data usages, the longer this progresses the more the towers get flooded 
and the less bandwidth available to all.

My network started off quite well, now its close to unusable (from about 2 
years ago)

Subject: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception

Hi all,

I am now experiencing really bad Telstra phone signal. It used to be fantastic, 
but is now appalling. I think they've deliberately downgraded the mobile phone 
network to make their 4G look better, but those of us that don't feel the need 
to upgrade our phones just yet are expected to suck it up. Is there anything we 
can do about it?

Regards,
Tony


RE: Anyone using structs in C# Business Applications?

2012-08-22 Thread Troy Schuetrumpf
I believe everyone in this thread is talking about programmer implemented 
structs not ones provided by the .Net framework.

Hello

I have found myself not needing to use structs for any reason in the vanilla 
business apps ( DB to front end WindosForms,WPF,ASP.net etc) for past 7 years 
or so.
All BO's are classes, and I can't think of anything more fine grind than that.

Unless I have been missing something, my question is to Business App writers, 
do you use structs any where for any reasons?

In all the usuall VS demos I have not seen structs being used ( graphics demos 
do not count!)

Hi,
To answer your specific question, int, double, bool, DateTime are all structs.
I can't see any (even vanilla) business application getting by without them, 
can you?

Regard,
Tristan.

Int is a struct?

And yes, I use structs a fair bit for small things. Sure a struct is pretty 
much an class without methods/functions/whatevertheterminology, and maybe a 
class would be neater/better suited/etc but when I am returning a few small 
things, sometimes I'll hack together something like

struct sResult {
   public bool valid,
   public string[] errors,
   public string[] warnings
}

Just so I can have certain bits and pieces come back nicely to the UI.

Any reason why this is a bad idea?
