Comparing asp to asp.net

-

Oh the Joy of .net and object orientation in general:

 

Compare the old asp way.   Just functions with single return values:

 

                                              

if rules("isafirstname",firstname) = true and rules("isasurname",wholename(0)) = true then

     transmute =("L-CAPNAMEINIT{_}"&propercase(firstname)& " " & propercase(wholename(0)))

elseif rules("isafirstname",firstname) = true then

     transmute =("L-CAPFIRSTNAMEINIT{_}"&propercase(firstname))

end if

 

So I would wind up stuffing a load of data into the return string and then reassembling it in the calling function.

 

First go on Tuples today.  Seems to me a sort-of “quick fire” multi-return type where you don’t want to go the whole hog of returning a struct.

 

Dim foundRows = boysnames.Select("name = '" & Replace(username, "'", "''") & "'")

 

If foundRows.Length >= 1 Then

   Return New Tuple(Of Boolean, String, String)(True, foundRows.CopyToDataTable.Rows(0).Item("friendlyname").ToString, "Found in Boy's Names Table")

End If

 

Return New Tuple(Of Boolean, String, String)(False, "", "")

 

How cool is that?

 

If there are any old farts like me still debating wether to go for .net and object orientation in general.  The answer has to be “do it now!”.

How do you fix a roll of aluminium foil once it's started spiralling?

-
I had this problem. Seen a post on Reddit .  Old one. " This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast" That is a shame.  As I now have a better answer than any of the posts. Get a pair of tweezers and scrape down from the part of the foil roll that is "stuck".   Don't matter if it digs down into the layer beneath.  Try to maintain even digging across the roll. Worked a treat!

Why does Premiere Pro "Sequence from clip" on MP4 and then "Match Sequence" result in a massive AVI file?

Good Question! You would imagine that just "trimming" an MP4 file with same setting would be quick and painless, but when I tried it the resultant file was massive - like 10x the size of the original file. https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/match-sequence-settings-mp4-to-mpeg-is-this-normal/td-p/11042944 Turns out this is because the .mp4 compression means there aren't really full frames in the file just deltas. So when you select "Match Sequence Settings", it has to give you AVI format anyway. So this is what you HAVE to do.   Go ahead and create your HUGE AVI file.  Then use an app or an online service to compress it back down... I had a good result using  https://cloudconvert.com/avi-to-mp4 It shrunk the 76Mb AVI to less than half a Mb.

Churchill's Reaction to Eisenhower's Speech at the English Speaking Union 1951

I'm still reading Never Despair Winston S. Churchill  1945-1965 by Martin Gilbert.  It is a bible-sized book, albeit the print is slightly bigger, and it will take me a while yet. Recently I've come across an interesting chapter.   This section of interesting stuff starts on Page 619. Interesting to me, and those Brits and others on the EU side of the Brexit-argument, I've found more compelling evidence to answer the question:  " Would Winston Churchill have been in favour of Britain being in the EU?" .   Of course, I believe the answer (certainly after the War) was that he would have been in favour. Ike Eisenhower made a speech at the English Speaking Union Dinner on July 3, 1951.  Churchill was there.  Churchill didn't actually hear the speech well enough at the time, but read it's transcript the following day.  He was ecstatic when he did. Eisenhower and Churchill The relevant text, of the above mentioned book, is as follows;  " ...So pleased wa
