vb8 cool thing... hadn't seen it mentioned

Sometimes you just notice something neat ...

You may already know this but my googling didn't show it as having been
mentioned and I thought it deserved it.

If you're like me and tried the gotdotnet vbcommenter and the fesersoft.com
vb commenting tool but gave up on both because neither gave your component
classes the intellisense popup information, did you notice that when using
the VB8 Express you got the class intellisense to work simply by supplying
an XML Documentation Summary value?

I know it's not a language thing, it's just an IDE thing, but it was a big
deal that C# could do it in Visual Studio and VB2002/2003 couldn't without
3rd party help (that I never could get to work, myself) but so many googles
popped it up as being a "reason to use C# instead" that when I noticed that
it was working it got me pretty happy.

That's indeed a cool feature. Especially the ability to "debug" XML
comments is a great thing.

I don't even know where to begin. This is just bizarre. I just picked up the Gnuplot.py module (a light interface to gnuplot commands) and was messing around with it today. I've got a tiny script, but it only works from the command line about half the time! In the python interpreter, 100%. Ipython, 100%. I'm not kidding. #!/bin/env python import Gnuplot

I hadn't ever used it until a couple months ago, but it seems to be a handy little switch. On some .mdbs it doesn't change the size, or actually increases it a little. But on others it cut the file size in half. Sweet. And, it often makes everything run better: forms open quicker, queries finish faster, etc. Is there any downside? Anyone had corruptions or other oddities occur due

Hello, I saw on a couple of recent posts people saying that casting the return value of malloc is bad, like: d=(double *) malloc(50*sizeof(double)); why is this bad? I had always thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the purpose of a void pointer was to cast into a legitimate date type. Is this wrong? Why, and what is considered to be correct form?

I think I can make a good interesting list of postings under this subject header, 'All browsers are cool but IE.' Anyway, the following code will show a table with an input box labeled, 'name', on all browsers (Gecko, KHTML, Opera) except IE. Is there anybody ever hit on this issue before?

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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
