Compile Time Error #OMGWTF error UpperManagmentException can never be caught.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

I believe it is. You're leaving data integrity up to the USERS! Are you kidding me!? 
Data integrity is everything. You can always index and perform other optimizations if you want to speed things up, even throw hardware at it if necessary, but fixing corrupted data is a nightmare with no easy solution. Given the horsepower of modern systems, there's no excuse for not using this important feature.

A few years ago worked on an open source php application that implemented its own object model of the database.
All the relationships (and types) were defined in each extension of the base and that worked quite well in making easy coding (only used code in base class with data from the actual objects themselves - well, only things defined in objects were structure, relationships and some name formatting). But to let the end user do all the deletes/updates by hand, hahaha.

In my mind, it's simple.
Each tier should take care of itself. The database should take care of ensuring data integrity. Beyond that, all business rules belong in the middle tier.
Data integrity should also be enforced at the middle tier level, but there's no excuse for the database not taking care of itself. You cannot ensure that all applications accessing the database will enforce the rules (ever hear of SQL Server Management Console, TOAD, et. al.?); therefore it's up to the database to protect itself.
Even when using IsDeleted flags instead of true deletes, you can enforce a certain amount of consistency using stored procedures, triggers, etc.

We Can maintain integrity from Front End tool, but it is better to use Relations between tables, in some cases we need to make database flexible. so don't under astimate your seniors.

Recently I was going through a code written by one of the developer. I just got startled by the way a user message confirmation page was named and the message was being passed to it.
It was a little user information page named as 'ErrorDisplay.aspx' and he is passing message to it like ?lErrorMessage=Data has been updated successfully&sErrorIdentificationNumber=4232343523&ErrorDateTime=
I was just curious and tryed to enter a alert('Dog') and it immediately pounced back to a 'Potentially Dangerous Page...' from .NET Framework.
At the glance, I could guess the following are the horrors in this part of the code:
1) Wrong nomenclature to the file
2) Too big variable names. After all, QueryString is limited right? The developer is not expectant of any appraisal from the user.
3) Cross Site Scripting vulnerability
4) Bad and inconsistent variable naming.
When I was thinking over this, a few days back, we had a discussion in a technical forum regarding dependency of Exceptions for normal application flow, which is really a strain on the server besides the pathetically poor programming practice.

Dear all
I need to know whether printer support "Job Retention" (Job Storage) feature or not, ie whether printer can store the jobs so that they can be printer later by issuing a password to printer control panel. (Different options for job storage are "Hold and proof", "Private Job", "Quick copy" etc.
To know all these information I tried WMI in windows, various vc++ printer capabilities APIs without any luck.
Is there some way so that I can get all these information.
please help..
Regards

Yes. Posting it in the correct forum will surely help.

I can see how this might turn into a horror story if you have personel or classified information on a printer and the printer was stolen or accessed by someone not authorized.
Most printers have a diagnostic capability, that is they can be put in diagnostic mode. Setting may also be accessable if printer has a setup/configuration menu option. If printer has LCD you can scroll through settings looking for anything about auto memory purge, store jobs, batch storage, and disable the appropriate setting.
You can also search online for printer model to see if printer has this capability.

Is this about retaining your job using capabilities of printer?
"Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling.

If you do not have the guts to help others then do not expose it by saying "NO", simply ignore it....

Oh dear. norm.net has the guts - he's helped a lot of people, however you made the classic mistake of posting on the wrong forum. You didn't bother reading the bit at the top of the forum, and your arrogance in this reply is simply staggering. What's wrong? Is your humility and learning chip broken? Have you somehow got stuck in a*sehole mode?

Oh buddy may be norm.net helped others but you can never help others. Anyway I have considered the name of forum but there was no other forum that can help me in this direction, and simply I thought the members of this forum will be more intelligent so may you, but you have proved me wrong.
and ofcource mind your language.....

Were you born this stupid or did you have to work at it?
The Coding Horrors board is for mocking truely terrible code you've seen. Infinitely more appropriate boards on CP for your question include the C++ board or the hardware /drivers board.

Not only have you cross posted, you have reposted despite having been given answers, you've ignored answers and then you have become defensive when you committed a basic mistake. I'm amazed that you think this is a more appropriate forum than some of the others you've posted the same question on.
Instead of taking your licks and moving on, you've tried to engage in a battle of wits and, let's face it, in your case it's unarmed combat. Just move on and learn from it - it's one of life's little lessons.

There seems to be a problem with the ASP.NET data repeating controls, Repeater and DataList. If a new DataSource is empty, the control appears to keep the rows of the old DataSource. While looking for a solution I stumbled upon this[^] gem:
<br />
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load<br />
repeater.DataBind()<br />
Dim record As String = repeater.Items.Count.ToString<br />
If record = 0 Then<br />
repeater.Visible = False<br />
Else<br />
repeater.Visible = True<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
