Charles - the answer is -
it depends .
For example - if you are using a report tool that actually shows the .NULL.
value in the report,
your users probably won't want this. Its a lot of extra coding in your
report tool to make that go away, and you won't know exactly all of the
columns you want to apply the null rule to on your report tool without some
trial runs. IF you make default some white space, or a zero [depending on
the data type] in your fields default value in the mySQL table, then you
have removed some extra work time for you or another programmer come time to
do the report work.
On the other hand, checking for nulls in code, the regular way, is thereby
changed when you are using whitespace, and its a PITA .... ISNULL doesn't
work anymore [wah!!!]
let me know your thoughts ??

I pretty much set a fields default value to NULL if it not a "required"
field in my app. Just wondering if this is the way to go since I just
sort of guessed at this method ;)

construct a vector class which contains the variable vec, a float*

That is what I _do_ understand. What I don't understand is the

What does it mean for a pointer to be equal to 0? Presumably...

Hi All,
I have a GridView inside the EditItemTemplate of a FormView. Both FormView
and GridView are data bound using an ObjectDataSource. When the FormView's
ObjectDataSource object has a SelectParameters with a SessionParameter in
the parameters collection and the object stored in the Session is a
reference type,
the DataGrid fails to enter Line Editing mode.
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround for this problem?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
