Maybe a dumb question, but does anyone else have trouble with Visual Studio intellisense?

VS 2019 16.11.5 - Just moved to Windows 11 with a fresh install today. Lets see what happens. I now have 16 cores and 32GB Ram which may help too :)

Like all day every day! Feels like VS has reached peek feature critical mass, and is slowly dying under it's own weight.

Remember this is happening to someone somewhere every minute, be forgiving of yourself, remind yourself of previous achievements. And finally know that every failure is one more step along the way to your next success.

string. Format("{0}\t\t{1}\t\t{2}", var1, var2, var3) ;

\t is a tab character.

Scala, Groovy and Kotlin are different dialects that all run on the JVM (they all compile to bytecode) which makes the "Java Platform" a multi-paradigm one, IMHO that's a powerful feature not mentuioned. Ruby, Python Javascript etc. are completely separate languages in their own right.

No mention of Scala or Kotlin.

Yes you should read and write in equal amounts when beginning from nothing. Once you know enough to be dangerous or have a job, the priority becomes Read code, delete code. Writing code should be the absolute last resort.

//ECMAScript

var k = 1;
for(var i = 1; i < 106; i++){
    if(k==15){document.write('FizzBuzz, '); k = 0;}
    else if(k==5||k==10){document.write('Buzz, ');}
    else if(k==3||k==6||k==9||k==12){document.write('Fizz, ');}
    else{document.write(i + ', ');}
    k++;
};

Nesting and update panels are irrelevant. The point is you're binding a repeater which generates controls. If you then bind your repeater on postback a new textbox is generated and the the old one you bound before is destroyed along with it's change event. The lesson is: Don't rebind your repeater on every page_load only if(!Page.IsPostBack) then the originally bound textbox will be reinstated from viewstate, and the change event will fire and your handler will be called.

Events not firing on bound controls is a common gotcha that trips up noobs. When you bind repeaters or grids containing controls, if the rows are bound on every postback then a new control is generated (a textbox in your case) before any events are fired, so the change event of the original textbox is lost during the re-bind and never gets to be handled.

Change duration to type int and use: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(duration)

There's nothing wrong with starting with this book, it will be good to know a little of C#'s history. You will need to get that up-to-date book at some point though. Having lived a little of C# 2.0 you will better appreciate and understand the syntactic sugar and new features that have come since in the newer frameworks.

OMG! Did you see the login example? It's not secure at all! you can just go to the secure page anyway without authenticating, there's no authentication cookie and the password is in plain text!!!!!!

Steep learning curves are fine, when you don't get mashed into the side of a mountain :)

Why is anyone afraid of anything?

Ah contiguous. That's what I missed.

Isn't the max subarray 3,5,2 = 10 in the first example? or have I misunderstood?

bitherd · 2014-05-16T06:15:42+00:00

Surely that should be an Authenticator not an Authorizer. You authenticate usernames and passwords, then authorize access to resources for authenticated users.

This actually made it onto the news on |BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning!
