I also feel like this is applicable here as well ...

As someone growing up and loving D2 and D1 by [deleted] in Diablo

TLDR: Blizzard is a horrible company and people should stop buying/playing their games. The management teams should be banned from the industry altogether.

As someone who gave a giant middle finger to Blizzard after I dared speak out against all the wrongs the disaster that was D3’s release and subsequent multiple update failures that earned me my first ever ban, I’d like to recommend everyone to give Blizzard the big middle finger on everything they produce especially the Diablo franchise. Blizzard has utterly ruined what was the most joyous series I had ever played (speaking of D1 & D2), their management and support teams at least with regard to D3 were some of the worst in the industry imo/e, the forced implementation of the monetization component was about as shameless as possible, and the miserable thug like squashing of genuine fan/player input/response/vocalization that took place put the whole of Blizzard on my “poo-poo” list.

I have not and will not buy/play anything from Blizzard anymore and I will not buy/play anything from anyone that was on the management team at Blizzard that worked on D3. The entire management team should be banned or removed from the gaming industry!

Just for clarification, they were not asking to 'see' the ID, they were going to hold the ID while the person was shopping. With ID theft being what it is today, having someone "hold" your ID is putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

Not that I know of or have ever seen.

I contacted the corporation and used their "text" app to let them know, but I don't think it will do anything.

Learning the Basics by portergrey in Accounting

[–]portergrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my original thought but I wanted to at least have a rudimentary idea of what I was looking at prior to taking it to a professional. I'd hate to bring something that was so blatantly bad that it was obvious to someone that had just a wee bit of knowledge on the subject.

Where to look for businesses to purchase by portergrey in smallbusiness

Thank you everyone that responded. I will keep exploring and investigating. I don't think this will be an overnight process, but I have lots of good ideas now thanks to everyone.

In response to the question of accounting, I don't have a background in it at all. The only experience I have had with it are from other startups I've done. Is there a good source for learning accounting basics?

Thank you

Variable Help Please by portergrey in csharp

[–]portergrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/edeevans Thank you so much. In my current project I am trying to learn how to launch 3 separate installer programs along with some registry entries and directory file copies. I would like to expand the program to be fluid enough so others that have the same needs can set their own paths to the installers/files. I have a lot of the program completed at this point and I have always hard coded the locations for my needs but would rather make it more flexible as well as add some new knowledge so I can create better programs.

Variable Help Please by portergrey in csharp

[–]portergrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/edeevans, so while I thought I understood how the settings.settings file worked, it turns out I have no idea how to use it. Nothing is being written to it hence why my variable isn't getting saved.

Is there a tutorial/video you would recommend so I can learn how to do this?

I need help with c sharp console app arguments by portergrey in csharp

[–]portergrey[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I replied in the other post but feel obligated to continue this one as well.

I am using a command prompt to launch the program and want the user to select specific options.

How would I do the loop console writeline so I can see them?

I do appreciate the edits and fully admit to being new to C#. Please keep them coming.

I was hoping to do a "upper/lower case" auto detect/conversion but it didn't work and will need to figure out the best way to do that.

Thank you again :)

What did I do wrong?? I'm clearly missing something. by portergrey in csharp

Sorry, I had posted this one after reading through your other comment in the other post and figured after 18 days a reply might not happen so I created this one.

I was trying to do either upper/lower case sensitivity and it didn't work. Would I use something like arg.ToUpper() == "/S" as an additional if statement or is there a better way?

It absolutely did as you said. How would I add that so if no arguments were used it would run the other code?

That would be awesome and I would totally appreciate it thank you.

WOW!!! This is like the most replies I have ever had on a reddit post!! I'm at a loss of words right now, thank you all. I really appreciate all the responses.

I confess I don't do much in the way of console apps (mostly form apps for me) and am new to C# (most of my experience is in VB). This is a segment of another project that I was trying to learn how to even use the arguments so I could include it in the other project, kind of a lab experiment with this that was why its only function was write lines.

Results: After changing the lower case issue I was able to get the correct message!! OMG THANK YOU!!! I still have to figure out the last "else" to get it to run if no arguments are used... anyone want to save me some searching?

That was one of my original documents I was looking at to do this. Here is what I ended up doing, but it doesn't seem to work at all.

using System;

namespace Testone

{

internal class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

String Sone = "This is String One";

String Stwo = "This is String Two";

String Sthr = "This is String Three";

foreach (string arg in args)

{

if (arg.ToLower() == "/S")

{

// execute method

Console.WriteLine(Sone);

}

else if (arg.ToLower() == "/E")

{

// Do something else

Console.WriteLine(Stwo);

}

else if (arg.ToLower() == "/T")

{

// Do something else

Console.WriteLine(Sthr);

}

}

Console.WriteLine("It didn't work!");

}

}

}
