A client of mine located in the Aiken/Columbia South Carolina Area has asked me if I had any friends who are .NET Developers and looking for a job. They are looking for at least one Junior Developer, on Mid-Level Developer and several Senior developers. I know these folks quite well and I can vouch for...

My friend and co-worker, Whitney Weaver is now blogging at the Magenic blog site . Actually, he's been blogging for a little while now, I've just been a bum and not updated my blog in a while. Although he's certainly an up and coming programmer, Whit's main area of expertise is data,...
I am lucky enough to work for a company that really encourages us to get together and learn/hang out etc. One way this happens is by Tech Nights. Basically, we have in office meetings which are recorded via Live Meeting, where someone picks a topic and teaches about it. Afterward, folks go to dinner...
A while ago, I used to answer so many "My update isn't working. It doesn't throw exceptions but it doesn't do anything" type questions that I wrote this article . Those days seem long removed, or at least they did. Seems the problem is creeping back up with Tableadapters. In fact, one of the most common...
The IM volume I received today about the Rollback to SqlCE issue was enough to border on overwhelming. Between PMs and some lazy SOB CRM guy trying to get me to do all his work for him, it was hard focusing on work today. (And seriously, if you are a CRM professional, telling me you don't know how...

I've actually got a lot to discuss about database stuff but wanted to start out explaining a very basic concept. All me to disgress for a moment. I've worked at a few places where there were some Cobol/AS 400 developers that were quite full of themselves. They knew how to handle business with...
A while ago, I posted this about how much a55 I think Crystal Reports sucks. A long time ago, back at like v.7, I thought Crystal was a decent product. And to be honest, it still is a decent product. But it comes with a lot of baggage and has a lot that just makes it lame. So I had almost total consenus...
It seems like years ago, but I remember one of my professors giving us an assignment. It involved taking a database chock full of redundancies and writing the SQL Statements to make a few small updates. We thought it was an assignment to test our SQL Skills. However we were graded on how close to 'right'...
