Without having read it - I see no particular reason why it needs to be
a PDF rather than HTML. It would be easier to use as straight HTML,
IMO.
Converting my doc to pdf preserves lay-out. Converting to HTML, well,
it's not the same anymore. Therefore, it's a pdf.

Ludwig,
if you want readership (which I guess you'd like, since you've been kind
enough to post about it on this group) I'd recommend you offer the article in
HTML, with an option to download as PDF. As with everything in life, there
are trade-offs. HTML means more readership and - these days - it also means
better indexing by the search engines; not a small matter at all.

Not being exactly the same isn't necessarily a bad thing though. For
instance, I've got a wide screen laptop - having a fixed width layout
means most of the screen is wasted. PDF is really useful when the
layout is absolutely vital - but I don't see why it is in your article.
The code needs to be preserved as it is, and that's easy to do, but
everything else can be more flexible in HTML.

Thanks Ludwig.

that I had a choice regarding how I wanted to read it.

"Boxing and unboxing are very timeconsuming operations and should be
avoided, because they degrade performance. This effect of boxing/unboxing
can be quite significant in scenarios where you must iterate over large
collections. The solution to these problems is creating strongly typed
collections."
How does a strongly typed collection avoid boxing / unboxing of primitive
types (you are talking about .Net 1.1 in this part of the article)?

You can create a strongly typed collection which uses an array of the
appropriate type underneath the covers (int[], DatTime[] or whatever).
I would take issue with the idea that boxing and unboxing are "very
timeconsuming operations". The problem is that you tend to do them an
awful lot, so even though individually they're cheap, they can mount

The next version of VS.Net (Whidbey) promises to add generics support to
VB. I have a vague remembrance of Templates in C++, but I guess I need a

What will generics allow us to do? How do they make coding easier?
Is there a resource that will give me a basic understanding of what
generics are and how generics will be useful (in the context of VB.Net)?
Thanks

I think of generics like I do about operator overloading.
Great to have as a language-feature, as it defines the language more
completely. Great to use.

Greetings,
Introduction
This week I'll write a bit about generics (those funny angular brackets). I need
an example and decided to use sets and some of their operations. This weeks'
article discusses one set class and two interesting operations on the set:
combinations and set partitioning. First a description of the algorithms is
given and then we'll have some fun with the generic implementation of them.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
