I've just been writing a little tool at work and I wanted a busy indicator so I decided to steal the one out our main application. I had assumed it would have been an animated GIF or something, but no, it was this:
How to write a loading circle animation in .NET?[^]
Not seen that article before, but good work Martin.
You see, you write a little article and before you know it the code is in source control systems the world over!
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

If your saw a post of mine yesterday about getting a VB program landed on me 'to make it work' that is all, (it's not a complete rewrite in C# which is what it needs) I have done what I was dreading and it hasn't gone wrong yet testing abounds. I now move to the second part of the thing the flat file prep utility. Basically and ini file creator (which is then read in as a string dropping all /r /n picked out using substring)...which I have to add some serial port configuration to. It is a work of art, three different naming styles On Error Resume Next, GoTo used interestingly also this is using VS2013 which I have never used before...on the joy
Roll on 17:30 and the weekend!!

sounds like the coders were professionals!
I love this style, had to do the same Thing and i was so impressed by that style:
variablenames -> var1,var2 ...
if something goes wrong -> On Error Resume Next
no comments !
and no structure at all
was the best time of my life and i Keep up to follow that guide lines
thanks to the Person who wrote that code
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

The owners of the distillery that makes your beverage of choice were probably also having the time of their life.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Don't jest tonight (being Friday!) I'm gonna get Nagyied/Darleked this is a cluster elephant in waiting!!!

Wait - they purposely picked VS2013 (and .net 4.5 I presume?) and it still uses On Error clauses???

Seems like it, I used to think On Error Resume Next was great (something has gone wrong, never mind, away!) then I saw it used in a control app front end (cutting arm, big saw), which allowed you to continue on after an error and cause damage to item under test. Haven't sinned since, mind you this is the first time I have used VB since VB6 many years ago...
[Edit] I think they used VB2013 Net because it the latest![/Edit]

JFC! What a bunch of sunshines Sky are! They can go suck a puss filled begger's [redacted] as far as I care!
I was with O2 for my home broadband, it gave me what I wanted at a good price. Now Scum have taken over the service and they are elephant theiving mother loving sinshines! I don't have Scum TV - I don't want Scum TV or any other elephanting TV. I don't have Scum Talk their alleged telephone service - I DON'T ELEPHANTING NEED IT! [that said BT, what I are with, are pretty shyte too]
Now Scum in the money grabbing @rse elephant wisdom are charging me for not taking their services! £7.50 a month TO NOT USE THERE SHYTE.
Sorry, but Elephant You Scum! Elephant You and your little doggy! To complain there is no normal rate number, either E-mail the puss suckers or call their premium number. Sunshines, they're all froging sunshines.
As another point, anyone got a decent ISP which is nothing to do with money grabbing @rse elephant Scum or Indian British Telecom?
[edit]
Complaint sent to Scum: Why am I being charged to NOT USE A SERVICE? I do not need, require or desire TV of any sort, so why must I PAY TO NOT HAVE IT? The same goes for Sky Talk.
This is borderline fraud, I did not chose Sky, I had O2 and was switched over to your service. It is disgusting that you won't even provide a sensible contact number, premium rate because I don't use your phone service? What if I did and had to report a fault? I'd have to pay premium again, this is vile and money grabbing.
Your service makes me sick.
Vilmos is not happy, not happy at all.
[edit II]
The mofu's have 'discounted' the charge for the next 12 months, I shall make sure I switch before the time is up.

TalkTalk seem ok (that's what my family use).
I use BT and I've not had any problems with them either.

Puss is a widely-used abbreviation used when talking to cats, at least in the UK. Pus is what you get from the infected scratches puss inflicts when trying to blend her.

I was just talking about this with SWMBO the other day.
For broadband, telephone and TV the cost for us is now around £1000 per year, when did that happen?
Its now the third biggest expense for a typical household.
1. Energy
2. Mortgage - If you have one.
3. Telephone, TV and broadband.
You'd think they would offer a better service!

Virgin did the dirty last year, sending a letter about my bandwidth increasing for free then one week letter sending me a letter saying 'by the way, we are going to charge you more'.
Last week the [insert Anti-Nowhere League lyrics from 'So What' here] informed me they would be charging me another '£3' a month(sure I can afford it but it's the principle and they really don't need that extra £3).
I wonder if the competition commission needs to be informed so that they can do something nothing about what looks like a cartel between the ISPs.

I had forgotten all about that one - but the lovely ditty came flooding instantly back to mind after this reminder.
