  • C# vs. VB - Give us EnC

    I Was having a talk with a few of my cronies this morning and was telling them about the C# vs. VB.NET moaning going on here and one of them brought up what I thought was an interesting point; whichever language gets VB6 style enc (edit and continue) first will be their choice.

  • Dummy Data Creation Utility

    OK, been working on a line of business app for one of my clients and I have gotten to the point where I need to do some real world testing. The app is pretty small; something like 40 tables in the db but it will expand pretty rapidly. How can I test this thing with a bunch of data in it? So I threw together a lil utility that will call the stored procedures and pass in dummy data; worked great, in a few minutes I was testing with 500K+ rows in some of the tables; an important thing to do, something often overlooked.
