Hi all,
I need to make a quotation to a customer and I've tried to start the job to see how it would be automating visual studio to reconfigure a running machine (hardware thing with a PLC and CNC that need to change the number of physical elements involved without needing a programmer there).
Given the PLC and CNC software is not prepared to do that, and that the software used to program all those things is embedded into Visual Studio... I've started a small program to reconfigure the items in the project automagically.
It seems it will work so I'll be capable to make a quotation for that customer.
Anyway, the C# editor is really nice. 
I'm testing all those things in a console application and the way you can concatenate strings is also really nice...
I know you could overload the + operator in C/C++, but here it works out of the box already...
I think C# and me will be friends from now on...

And so it begins. Next, your dating, then there's a ring, and pretty soon, it'll be "'til death do us part." 
I definitely hitched!

Same here, but I've still got C++ dry-humping my leg now and then  .

I'm also a big fan of C# and the .NET framework. So much, that I even prefer building native Android apps using C#/Xamarin instead of Java.

Always wondered about that but never went that far. Android and C# combo seems really odd to me.

That's understandable. 
I initially used Eclipse/Java when I was learning Android. However, I'm primarily a .NET developer and have lots of legacy C# code that's very stable and well tested. When I decided to write my first real Android app (a port of this[^] desktop app), the decision to use C#/Xamarin was a no-brainer. Not only did I not have to rewrite (and retest) thousands of lines of business and persistence logic, I got to use my favorite IDE (VS) instead of Android Studio, which isn't bad, but one that I'm not very familiar with.
Also, being able to replace setFoo() and getFoo() in Java with a simple C# property .Foo seems much cleaner, not to mention all the goodness of C# (e.g. Linq) that I get to use in my Android app.
I'm lovin' C# and Xamarin thus far!

Hmm.. Never tried C# as embedded. But C# on Android, can't wait 'til .NET Core is officially support in Android OS.

That case was stupid to begin with.

Yep. But canning spammers for consumption? I can live with that ... Soylent Green, anyone?

Considering the amount of energy drinks and junk food spammers probably consume, I doubt you'd get that approved for human consumption anywhere in the world except for the US.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

My gf had to file an incident report for something that happened at her work for one of the juveniles (she's a clinician at this facility) and the incident report (some Justice Dept website) required a phone number.
Well, the site said (and I kid you not) enter your phone number like this:
((xxx) xxx-xxxx), for example, ((619) 555-1212)
It didn't work. She tried a variety of other combinations, none of which worked. So she cried for help and I tried a couple things, none of which worked either. So I decided to look at the source (not bad source code, written in Angular 2). Search the js files for "phone", I found the regex, which did not allow for parens. So, contrary to the instructions, you had to enter:
xxx xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx or even xxx+xxx+xxxx, I assume to actually handle international numbers like +xx xxx xxx-xxxx, or maybe extensions, whatever, basically, any combination of digits, +'s and -'s between length 7 and 30.
Problem solved! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
Of course, you wouldn't have really needed a programmer if she'd simply tried it without any parens, but the instructions were so wrong and got even me thinking in a particular mindset, that I didn't try without any parens either!

555-1212 regardless of area code is the national directory assistance. Sorry if you knew that.

Of course I knew that. I was just using it as an example, like they do in old movies.

So ... what you are saying is that every home needs a programmer to get around the mistakes made by other programmers?

Precisely! Now if only I could bill my gf for "services rendered"!

You might want to rethink that: I suspect her "hourly rate" for rendering "services" might be higher than yours ...

Last year, I unlocked a Windows notebook that had french keypad. The guy who sent it to me, forgot the exact password, but gave some hints around the actual word and then vanished. I had to think a bit hard about the possibilities of the word, and the moment login screen said "Welcome!"..
