Roel van Lisdonk probably has one blog reason that is part of my reasons: posting quick notes or snippets of code/text in order to be able to find them back.
I especially like this C# snippet because he uses both an includeMask and excludeMask to filter a DirectoryInfo.GetFiles result.
Clever (:

When you call a DbDataAdapter.Update, and it throws an exception, the exception does not include the underlying Command and its parameters.
Since the DbDataAdapter can have three commands for applying changes (DeleteCommand, InsertCommand and UpdateCommand), asking those is a bit inconvenient.
The other way is to attach an event handler to the DAL specific RowUpdated event (for instance SqlDataAdapter.RowUpdated).
This is event is called from the virtual OnRowUpdatedMethod, and has a value parameter of type RowUpdatedEventArgs which contains the Command, and Errors that occurred. Errors is just the Exception that can help indicate what went wrong.

You’d think that the regex.info site only has information on Jeffrey Friedl’s Mastering Regular Expressions (a great book on RegEx programming) MRE2 Errata, MRE3 Errata and Where to get egrep (agrep and sourcecode/binary builds).
Not so (:
It also hosts a few other things, mostly having to do with imagery or photography:

Need to research this further, as I’ve seen some Interop DLLs that – when automatically merged from within Visual Studio – will not function correctly.
Keywords: ILMerge, msbuild, mkbundle.

Igor Ostrovsky wrote a few very nice MSDN magazine articles. Not all of them have ended up in the list at MSDN magazine, so here is a more complete list:
Though the articles show the majority of sample code in C#, the actual topics are of great interest to any developer writing .NET code or interfacing to it.
Some keywords in his articles: Read the rest of this entry »

On my research list:
I need to check out KBOX — a miniature Linux distribution integrated with a terminal for non-rooted Android devices.
It seems to add a lot of normal unix/Linux commands to your Android terminal emulator, but does not require root access.
I usually use a Windows or Mac system to browse the files on my Android device, but this should be much more convenient and aid both software developers and power users.
Now I need a remote ssh access to my Android device (:

Thanks for StackOverflow user xordon for this answer:
This is current accepted way to link to a specific lat lon (rather than search for the nearest object).
http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc:38.9419+-78.3020
- z is the zoom level (1-20)
- t is the map type (“m” map, “k” satellite, “h” hybrid, “p” terrain, “e” GoogleEarth)
- q is the search query, if it is prefixed by loc: then google assumes it is a lat lon separated by a +

The NEXTGEN family of Delphi compilers for the Mobile platforms changed quite a bit of things.
Most of it has been covered by various blogs posts. A non exhaustive list of ones I liked:
Those articles do not contain two things I had’t found about yet though that are important when you do RTTI using NEXTGEN in Delphi XE4: Read the rest of this entry »

You will see a few Delphi XE5 pre-release related updates here soon. That is part of the Delphi XE5 beta blogging permission I have been given so I can show new Delphi XE5 features. Those updates are from a pre-release version of Delphi XE5 and will be replaced with a final update when Delphi XE5 is being released.
For more information about Delphi XE5 and the Android support, please visit http://embt.co/RADAndroid.
Though not as fast as I hoped (I’ve slept most of the past days), I’m already preparing my Mercurial repositories at https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp, and preparing for the PasCon / RAD Studio In Action in Leiden, The Netherlands next saturday so stay tuned.
About this event: there are a few seats left, and a last-minute discount recently launched. Book your tickets through the on-line links for EUR 35 excluding VAT (normallu EUR 49 excluding VAT): Read the rest of this entry »
