I am programming an Access 2007 (accdb, not adp) frontend at connect to a SQL Server 2005 backend. How can I call a scalar user defined function from my vba code?
Why are there so many Database management systems? I am not an DB expert and I've never thought about using another Database other than mySQL.
Programming languages offer different paradigms, so it makes sense to choose a specific language for your purpose.
Question
What are the factors in choosing a specific Database management system ?
People (here on SO) often talk about their dislike of languages which don't ignore whitespace.
My question is: Which programming languages ignore whitespace?
Examples:
C++
co n st my Var with spaces = 1 23;
- Error
PHP
$this willnot work = 456;
Which .NET programming libaries do you use most ?

I have two Line objects in C# WPF, and I'm trying to construct a method to work out the coordinates at which the lines intersect (if at all). After giving myself a headache reminding myself of high school maths to do this, I can't work out how to map it into programming format - anyone know how to do this?
Thanks very much,
Becky
I've noticed major music festivals (at least in Australia) and other events that experience a peak in traffic when tickets go on sale have huge problems keeping their websites running well. I've seen a few different techniques used to try combat this such as short sessions and virtual queues but they dont seem to have much effect.
If you were to design a website to sell a lot of tickets in a short amount of time how would you handle scalability? What technologies and programming techniques would you use?
I have a program that is interacting with hardware via parallel port programming. i had compiled it and using its object file to interact with the hardware (a simple led). when i execute it directly on the shell it serves the purpose of glowing the LED but when i execute it using shell_exec() in php the command is executed but unable to interact with the hardware. i am totally confused.. .
Guys,
Do you know of any tool that would do like Ruby on Rails' Scaffolding (create simple CRUD pages for any particular class to allow quickly populating a database with dummy data), only which used Java classes with Hibernate for database access, and JSP/JSF for the pages?
It is a drag when you are programming one part of an application, but need data that can only be added with another part that is not ready yet, or very cumbersomely by directly inserting it into the DB.
All I want is really absolutely basic 2D drawing stuff e.g. rectangles, circles, paths, curves, béziers and so on. I don't need all the 3D model meshes with all this texturing and lighting. Is there a good learning resource for a fast startup programming just for fun?
Hello,
I am a Computer Science student and working on a project based on Nutch search engine, I want to develop the Java algorithms to better index and search Arabic websites?. Which part of the programming code should I optimize for this purpose, any idea?
thanks in advance

I'm currently pursuing my BS in Computer Science and my school offers specializations based upon taking certain advanced electives. I was thinking about getting two of them since they are sort of on the way to my degree anyway. They are Software Engineering and Programming Languages and Compilers .
Would these specializations actually be useful in finding a job? Would employers even care about them?
Hi, I am on a Mac, programming with Xcode. I have a command line application that will read/write to files in it's bundle and I was wondering how to access these files.
Thanks,
Mr. Man
EDIT: Would it work better if I just made a folder in the user's library folder?
This is an interview question, and should concern about efficiency. How to calculate occurrences of specified word in a large text file? I can only think of indexOf() method in most programming languages, but I don't think that the correct answer.
How to create custom javadoc tags such as @pre / @post... I found some links that explain it but i haven had luck with them, i dont know if that am already tired but i can figure where to put it. these are some of the links

I'm sorry to ask to be spoon fed but am at the stage where i only see black dots on the screen :\
Thanks a bunch
Is there a simple package available that permits programming in xbase ( i.e. dbase or Foxpro syntax) and has a datatype to store and perform simple arithmatical operations on arbitrarily large integers ( say 100,000 decimal digits) ?
Does anyone have any tips for getting a good price on new/used programming-related books? I've looked at some of the more popular books (like DDD and GoF), and even used they can be pretty pricey. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but I feel like there might be a more focused book store or exchange or something just for devs and/or IT professionals that I just don't know about.
Any tips at all would be appreciated.
i am reletivly new to world of programming
i have a few performance questions
1. do console apps run faster than windows based app?
2.are languages like c and pascal faster than object oriented languages like c++ and delphi?i know language speed depends more on compiler than on language itself but do compilers for prcedural languages like c and pascal produce faster code than oo ones like delphi,c++(including c++ compilers that can procuce c code)
sorry for my bad english
I am new to programming PHP and am trying to validate a field in a form.
The field if for a RAL color code and so would look something like : RAL 1001.
so the letters RAL and then 4 numbers.
Can someone help me set them into a regular expression to validate them.
i have tried this with no success:
$string_exp = "/^[RAL][0-9 .-]+$/i";
What can I say but sorry for being a complete NOOB at PHP.
Cheers

I was doing some basic audio programming in C# using the NAudio package and I came across the following expression and I have no idea what it means, as i've never seen the << operator being used before. So what does << mean?
Please give a quick explaination of this expression.
short sample = (short)((buffer[index + 1] << 8) | buffer[index + 0]);
Please explain me in simple terms (if possible simple example) the covariance and contravariance in c# .net .
I know many are available(even in stackoverflow) but my problem is in which scenario I should use that is not explained in the articles that I am refering to.
e.g.
Covariance and Contravariance in Delegates (C# Programming Guide)
Thanks
I'm about to start working on a C# project. I'd like to buy VS 2010, but the only other member of the programming team is already using VS 2008. I'm concerned that having two different versions of VS in use will cause code compatibility issues. Is this a valid concern?
It may not be a pure programming question but I'm looking for information about enCapsa. Do you know what it is, have you ever used it? I'm reading some papers about it but I can't really see how it works and what it can be used for in an IT company (and this is what i am supposed to find out).
I already have some regex logic which says to look for a div tag with class=something. However, this might occur more than once (one after another). You can't simply add square brackets around that complex regex logic already (e.g. [:some complicated regex logic already existing:]* -- so how do you do it in regex? I want to avoid having to use the programming language logic to append that regex logic after itself if I can...
Thanks
I am new to .NET, and don't have much experience in programming.
What is the standard way of handling user authentication in .NET in the following situation?
In Process A, User inputs ID/Password
Process A sends the ID/Password to Process B over a nonsecure public channel.
Process B authenticates the user with the recieved ID/Password
what are some of the standard cryptographic algorithms I can use in above model?
Hey,
I have an input text :
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" value="[email protected]" />
I want to put a default value like "What's your programming question ? be specific." in StackOverFlow, and when the user click on it the default value disapear.
