I have a comma delimited file with 2 numeric columns. The first is just
a decimal number that seems to have a max of 1 decimal place. The last
column is money BUT very tiny increments of money. Note all this is
included as text in the CSV file. I plan to read this csv file into a
SQL 2000 DB using VB 2003. What data type should I use in the SQL DB?
What data type should the variables be in VB? I will be adding and
subtracting these numbers. Thanks!

Decimal.

Hi cj,
I agree with David that we can use Decimal type in SQL DB. Also, this will
map to System.Decimal in .NET framework.

Hi cj,
Double type is a Floating-Point number. So it may lose precision. The
following article may also be helpful. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c151dt3s.aspx

Hello ppl,
I'm having difficulties to accomplish some simple chores with binary data.
I'm having a string (?) which I received via an HTTP transactions which is a
binary file.
Problem is the webserver I'm communicating with injected a \x0D before every
\x0A,
and I need to remove those 0x0D characters from my buffer before saving it
to disk.

While writing some code, I realized I had never developed a consistent
pattern for checking errors from a method. I have two styles I jump
back and forth between, but I'm wondering which is better.
Scenario:
* In method that returns success/fail
* Call method that also returns success/fail
* Need to check return state and continue or exit outer method
I personally think Case 1 looks a little cleaner but it breaks more

Best I can tell, there are three basic ways you can deal with global
error handling in ASP.NET. Namely:
1. Derive all your pages from a custom Page class, and override
OnError()
2. Specify a custom 500 handler in Web.Config
3. Specify a custom 500 handler in IIS

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.
