RE: [NF] Daylight Saving Time, automated Time Synch
Well I'm sure it wouldn't be Dabo. Probably ruby or python; however that doesn't negate the fact that making absurd statements with nothing to back them up is ridiculous. I took a look at dabo when you first brought it out. It was plainly obvious that nothing in a real world business app could be developed with it at the time. Don't know about today, but my guess would be it's still not ready. So does my experience with Dabo and the fact that I attend conferences with java users and other language developers, give me the right to spread bullshit about other products with which I have nothing more than a passing acquaintance. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Leafe Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 12:59 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] Daylight Saving Time, automated Time Synch On Mar 17, 2007, at 11:23 AM, John Baird wrote: Obviously he's been drinking from the same bottle as the rest of the ''dot not crowd.

RE: [OT] Gonzales warns judges not to meddle
One has nothing to do with the other. Endangered species is a proven fact. If you have 10 river dolphins left, that's below the breeding threshold ergo you can make the argument for endangered species. However, global warming is junk science made up to arouse fear and spread irrationality. Global warming is based on 30 years of data over 2 billion years and they think that it indicates a trend... lol. It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that we as a species can have that much effect on this world. When nature is ready to get rid of us, she'll swat us like a bug. --- Maybe. But I figured out Mike believes he can predate on everybody. So I decided my natural prey is Mike. And I'm feeding off him real well, he's easy to hunt. Problems with this species is they don't imagine some other may hunt them. Well, I've helped his imagination a bit, at least till he becomes an endangered species. But as you people don't 'believe' in global warming you'll probably won't believe 'endangered species' either. Your's absolutely truly.

I didn't say the .Net group that is taking over 5 years to do what I did in 8 months sucks. I didn't say I'm so fantastic I can do in 8 months what it takes 5 years to do in .Net. I simply stated what my previous client has told me. I actually consider myself about average when it comes to software coding. I'm not privy to why it's taking them so long, and why they can't get the .Net system to match the functionality of the VFP system. I just know it's happening that way. Do you find such truthful observations painful? My point was I've seen a 'blind stipulation' to do something in .Net cause nightmares. I'm not the only one on the list that's seen it either. If you care about that previous boss, you may want to warn him. But then, is that the boss that tossed you out? So why should you care? I've done 2 VFP conversions and two acccess conversions to both web and winform C# apps. Didn't take years because I also did other new out of the box .Net apps. So for truthful observations I find yours biased. You don't know of any others? Oh well.

Yo Yo Mr. Coleman -
Uh - if you were looking to generate an html help-like file of a project -
have you looked at Project Documenting Machine [PDM] ?
It's in a D/L here on leafe.com
Also - with just a few bits of tweaking, you can compile the resulting html
output collection INTO a chm.
Lemme know if that works out for you ?
Regards [Bill]
PS - didn't 'Agile' Programming Methodology group up out of 'Extreme
Programming' Methodology ? I'm a big fan of extreme, and watched Agile move
sideways from that 'standard'.

RE: LIKE in ASP.NET
In ADO you do.. DatasTable.select('Name_agncy_nbr LIKE '*ABCBS*'), I'm
betting you can do something similar with the object data source.

Subject: LIKE in ASP.NET
we are trying to filter Grid View in ASP.Net using ( filterexpression
=colname='{0}' ).
we would want to accomplish the same as Starting with or LIKE in Visual
FoxPro, how do you do that in ASP.NET?
for example, how can we replace this long string of Name_agncy_nbr with
If RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = 1 Then
ObjectDataSource1.FilterExpression = NAME_STAT='{0}'AND
(NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-IND'OR NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-C' OR
NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-W' OR NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-SW' OR
NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-NW' OR NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-WC' OR
NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-SC' OR NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-NE' OR
NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS-SE')
End If
with one single line
NAME_AGNCY_NBR='ABCBS'
like we do in VFP
please email us an example.
Thanks,
Jean
