Almost on a daily basis we run across posts that ask about using a .NET language to read and update a database. Oh it might have a slight variation like "How do I load a value from a database into a textbox?" or "How do I read a database into _______ control and then update the database?" So I figured I would put a few little snippets here to show ...
Damn! What the hell happened to that application I was running? One minute I am viewing the pictures of my trip to the playboy mansion and another minute I am having to shut down the app. It is seriously not cool! Now only if there was a way I can record some of my applications activity for windows to see later. Perhaps describing why my application decided to take a ...
The Johnson-Trotter algorithm is an algorithm for figuring out permutations given a value set. A permutation is a way of altering the values in a set to create a different unique sequence from the original. If we have the set 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... one permutation would be 2, 1, 4, 5, 3 and another would be 3, 4, 2, 1, 5. Using a quirky little algorithm, we can ...
Here we go again! Another exciting blog entry talking about programming theory. This episode comes by way of a question that appeared on the board today. Someone was looking to pick out colors from an image, convert them to a hex value and write them to a CSV file (comma separated file) for Excel. I put this in the Deep Underground Misc category because frankly I don't know much about ...
Statistics... the bane of some coders existence.

Hogwash! Never the less, statistics ...
Ever wonder how they make those nifty color pickers on graphics programs like Adobe Photoshop? Typically they have a formula that generates the colors of the spectrum and makes it into one of those colorful swatches. You may have the swatch but perhaps you want to know how you can go about giving your users the ability to mouse over the swatch and pick out colors. Maybe display things like ...
