Hello,
My program is creating pdf files, around 50 - 100 kB each. Today I write
them in text files, then read them back to store into a database. It's
obvious for me that I can save the text file operations by creating a big
string in memory (only append), but it's unclear what class to use : String
StringBuilder, Stream something or ?
My pdf files contain mainly text, but some of them could also contain a jpeg
image.
Thank you for your help,
Gilbert

The typical (as far as I am aware) way of storing binary data into a
database is to use a binary reader and a memory stream.
If you just need to "store" the string, then String is fine, but if you will
be doing manipulation of the string, then use StringBuilder.
If you want to compact the data, you could write the data out using a
BinaryWriter.

Gilbert,
As it are real big strings, then zip them first (there is more than one
method in Net for that) and put the Zip object as a blob (byte array or the
other name is image) in your database. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...zipstream.aspx http://www.vb-tips.com/DataSetImage.aspx

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is

This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I

noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is

Greetings,
I'm wondering why the >> operator does not use the write() method of a
class derived from the built-in file class as in DerivedFile below.
In the following example:

used in place of a real file to accumulate strings that would otherwise
be printed. Works fine, can accumulate strings with the >> operator,

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.

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,...
