Choose Linq Over Forloops?
Jun 27, 2012
Given a datatable containing two columns like this:
CODE:
Would you use this snippet to retrieve a List(Of Integer) containing all Id's:
CODE:
Or rather this one:
CODE:
This is not a question about whether to type cast the Id column to Integer by using .Field(Of Integer), CType, CInt, DirectCast or whatever but generally about whether or not you choose Linq over forloops as the subject implies.
For those who are interested: I ran some iterations with both versions which resulted in the following performance graph:
The vertical axis shows the milliseconds it took the code to convert the rows' ids into a generic list with the number of rows shown on the horizontal axis. The blue line resulted from the imperative approach (forloop), the red line from the declarative code (linq).

I am currently working on a family project which is based on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show. There is a huge diffrence between the show and my project. My project is a christmas edition and the goal is not to get money or something, since I will not add it... Erhmm... Let me get to the point. I have already designed a layout and scripted some things. I have about thirty questions but I do not want them to always spawn in the same array, if you know what I mean. I want the program to randomly choose one of those thirty questions and NEVER choose the same question in the same program run. By the way, there are four options on my project: A, B, C and D. I have got everything, I just need a code.

given this function:
Public Function Search(ByVal StartIndex As Integer, _
ByVal MaxResults As Integer, _
ByVal AccountNumber As String, _
ByVal LastName As String, _
[Code]....
instead of what I expected:
Select count(*) from remitline where lastname = "smith"
What am I doing wrong building up the where clause? I'm using Castle ActiveRecord 2.1

I have a listbox on my xaml form that I bound to a List(Of MyType) property. I populated this list like so:
Dim fields As List(Of CheckableFields) = New List(Of CheckableFields)
Using context As ITIPEntities = New ITIPEntities()
Try[code]....
Now I'm at the point where the user selects the fields they want included in a report and I need to iterate over the required fields. This is my linq query:
For Each checkedField In _requiredFields
If checkedField.IsChecked Then
If checkedField.FieldData IsNot Nothing AndAlso checkedField.FieldData.Trim IsNot String.Empty Then[code].....

Possible Duplicate: Which language should I pick up: VB.Net or C# I'm trying to make a descision on learning VB.NET or C# as my first .NET language. I'm aware that bith languages can achieve the same things since both ultimately use the .NET framework. I'm also aware that C# has a similar syntax to both Java and C/C++, so I definitely see the benefits with this.
But how about the future of VB.NET? Will it be maintained in the years to come?I do know a bit of python, so would that make C# easier to learn?

Dim rand As New Random
rand.Next(0,5)
However thats for numbers, I then tried
Dim rand As New Random
rand.Next(w,z)
and I keep getting errors.So how can I set it that it chooses a letter between w and z.and how would I set it up in the coding itself like would I make it
W = question1 = inputbox("questionisinhere")

Select New Bikers() With { _
.BikerID = c.BikerID, _

with the error "Overload resolution failed because no accesible 'Select' accepts this number of arguments."

Which language, VB.Net or C# is the best language to choose for development right now? Needing users to have the .Net framework is something that I see as a drawback to Vb.NET, but what are the pro's and con's of each language? What can be achieved with one but not the other?

Is there a standard .NET control for what I call "a two pane picker", or do I have to code it by hand?
Two pane picker:
The left pane has a list of items. The user can pick items from the left pane to put them in the right pane using buttons between the two panes. Picked items in the right pane can be reordered with buttons.
An example of the "two pane picker" can be found by right clicking the Quick Access toolbar in Word 2007 and clicking "Customize Quick Access Toolbar..."
Note: If applicable, VB.NET answers preferred, but C# answers are acceptable too.

I have written a program in vb.net 2008 (using .net 3.5). It's a decent size program. One part of this program is to access an online database and encrypt/decrypt files. To access db I use a hardcoded password. To encrypt/decrypt files I used a hardcoded key. No matter what I do I would need to hardcode one of the two things at least. For example: even if I store database password in an encrypted file I would need to hardcode key to decrypt it. Or vice versa. So after doing some thinking I figured that I need to obfuscate my code so that at least these hardcoded elements/values wont be visible easily. Infact to test, I used a program to disassemble my program. And to my amazement, it showed me every line of code in my program. I felt as if my entire code is pasted in my exe.
Thus I need to obfuscate my code. See I do not need too advanced settings. My program is not among the top shareware programs or super popular that I need very high security. But I need enough security so that my basic code, variables and sensitive information (password etc) is not visible. Please help me choose a good obfuscator which will do the job. It should not be too tedious to use and should be sufficient for me. Plus it should be trusted and secure. I mean I don't want my application to crash or be unstable after I obfuscate it. I have downloaded trial of .net reactor from Ezriz and it seems to be fine. What do you guys suggest? I cannot affort something over $200.

I'm creating an app that loads a specified list of song paths into an array then loads the array contents into a new playlist for the Windows Media Player component (wmpPlayer).
Included on my form is a listbox which displays each of the song titles.

When I do this the song will play but wmpPlayer loses its playlist so when the song finishes it does not continue through the playlist.

I need to choose a database engine for a project, and have run into some issues. What I want is an SQL engine that works in a server/client environment, where i also can backup the database files from disk. If I am not mistaken, i have to detach an MSSQL database to be able to copy it in the file system. And SQLite is no good for the server/client environment. Will MySQL accomplish this? I think PostGreSQL has the same issue as MSSQL, but I don't know about MySQL.Oh, and it needs to be free to publish with my application.

A few problems I am facing, 1) I do not know how to do do "randomization" in VB.Net and 2) I do not know how VB.Net would handle displaying an image, would it display on the form i am building or would it display in the default photo viewer for Windows?
