I've seen many type converter in C#, but I haven't come to a generic one yet ... so I decide to write one. I hope this will help ... someone out there :)

This method provides a unified way of converting object of values to other types.        /// <summary>        /// Converts to the type that you like        /// </summary>        ///...

interviews

I was on the fence about just appending this to my interview blog entry, but I decided to write this as it's own entry.

To put ti bluntly, I am losing faith in our profession.  It has become filled with people that talk a good game, but can't back it up when questioned during the technical interview.

We have 2 open requirements and have been going throu...

Making an Operating System from basic using C++ Introduction

Warning  : Writing an Operating System can be a long and frustrating challenge - even for experienced programmers. You will find yourself trying to debug errors for hours, and then see the error right in front of your face. Writing an Operating System is a hard and worthy challenge, but don't be frightened off.  
You may think that making a...

Internet Explorer

One of the biggest challenges for web developers is fighting with internet explorer in every way or form, to get to the point it's awful slow, ** and 10 years behind everything else, still we got to support it considering it is the default browser on most PCs. When at work, I usually do most of the testing on Chrome, chrome is always up to date, fast and...

DIV 0 is Not the Only Way to Fail (Apparently)

Hello everyone.

I just discovered something while trying to debug one of my assembly language programs. This is probably not new information for some people, but perhaps someone might find this useful to know.

The thing is: dividing by 0 is not the only way to raise an exception while executing the DIV instruction; dividing by 1 is just about as bad.

'Were You a Nineties Gamer?' Post-mortem Overview  

Last year I finished up a quiz game in Flash and released it around a few gaming websites. After seeing what went well, and what didn't, I thought I'd write up a few things about it that may not be obvious right away.

First of all, here's the game itself: Were You a Nineties Gamer?    

The Nineties were full of awesome games, and my game was...

Security over functionality

apple, microsoft, windows 8

I've seen a disturbing trend in both Apple and Microsoft recently towards sacrificing functionality for the sake of security.  This is seen in what Microsoft is doing to Windows 8 and what Apple is doing to the iPhone, iPad, and the newer versions of Mac OS X.

First I'm going to look at Microsoft.  People hate Windows 8.  If you want proof, just search "...

TI ASM Battles: What?! No stack?!

Posted by gregwarner in Poetry in the Code, 24 February 2013 - - - - - - · 570 views

Just spent the last two days battling my old TI computer's assembler. I've been attempting to write a simple program that would print some memory addresses on the screen so I could probe around in the little guy's mind. But for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why my relatively simple code was crashing the system.Until it hit me.There is no stack.Wha...

I have noticed that this site does not address any Cold Fusion topics at this point, unless I have overlooked it. If you take a look at the main menu navigation at the top of Code Call, it does not show any CF programming at all. So for all of those who are interested in joining any kind of Cold Fusion discussions, this is the place. As an experienced Col...

Add child items to ToolStripMenuItem using C# – C Sharp

  Posted by Barnsite in Barnsite's Blog, 22 January 2013 - - - - - - · 1,800 views

I wanted to be able to populate menu items from a database, i.e. I had a Print Document top level menu item and I wanted to be able to populate the children from the database dynamically with each available document.
The theory was this:
1. Use the MouseHover event for the main menu item
2. When the user hovers over the item, get the list of...

Protecting your webmail

Webmail and instant messaging, how much do you use them? how secure do you think your information is when you are chatting or emailing?

Your emails, location, relationships, and business. Everything is in open exposition while using those two services. In this post I will explain the dangers we face day by day and what tools we have to defend our...

Going to my first hackathon next weekend At work, we have been trying to setup a hackathon so that our developers can sharpen their skills and output more prototypes. However, its been like pulling teeth just to get any response from management. Finally, management just said that they don't think any of the developers would be willing to work 12-24 hours straight just for fun.

Are they...

Wow, this is going to be a tough semester, I can tell already.

Calculus, Philosophical Ethics, Argument based research, and Engineering Graphics. I think their is enough paper in these textbooks to safely say that thousands of squirrels and birds are now homeless. I'm already busy enough to know I won't be picking up the Java book until this...

The falacy of portability.

An often repeated phrase when learning to program is "portability." Some languages; like Java; list it as a feature - write once, run anywhere.

It seems like this is often drummed into programmers to think that non-portable code is bad and portable code is good. But is this really the case.

I don't think it is; as with many things in life,...

A heap is a semi-ordered tree in which the parent node is larger (usually, you can reverse this) than its child nodes. This post will describe a Binary Heap in which each node has two children. The method we’ll be using is what I call a dense tree in that every ‘leaf’ on a level [...]
