Coin organizer, a small software project

You're confusing "universally considered" with "in my opinion".

And please spam more random text that contain words like "c# sucks", "f***ing" etc without a source. I won't read it.

Another completely random statement not connected to anything I've written. Could you give me anything concrete and fact based?

:bigeyes:

 

Its not a database at all...the original statement was completely incorrect.

 

The fact that your failing to read what I posted and need to get further education on programming doesn't make it less true.

Ruben

 

aside from what I already posted and the fact that you've decided to not read it? Some people you can't teach. You can decide to be one of those people or not.

Ruben

 

No, it's complete gibberish. You can't even spell so I don't event know what your talking about.

Mono isn't even supported by microsoft and has nothing to do with C# as a language.

 

I read what you "posted". Actually, you only quoted some random rantings without providing any source to the "articles" whatsoever. The only thing you wrote was the word "commentary" followed by some random BS that you didn't even explain.

I don't take courses in gibberish, no thank you.

 

Because you say so? Ok. "the original statement". Ok...makes sense. Not.

 

Mono isn't supported by Microsoft? Is that a prerequisite for a working programming language? Or was C# supposed to be exclusive domain of Redman? Your completely incorrect at this point. Mono and Dotgnu were both implemented to work with as C# free software analogues. Mono was adopted by the Gnome Project and they spend far too much time, IMO, assuring it being backward compatible with the monopolistic practices of Microsoft, which is one of the biggest reasons why it is universally disliked by the majority of coders who continue to function with standards based programming implementations.

Dotgnu was started by David Sugar to give a .net infrastructure to Object C and other languages for interoperability.

See - and there is that key word that makes C# suck so much, interoperability. At its core, MS has worked C# out of both sides of its mouth, professing to handle C# within the framework of a standards based organization like the W3C and then implementing insecure and OS dependencies into the core language and causing everyone else to twist in the wind. And that makes it a lousy choice for any serious work. That is aside from the fact that profiling of C# programming is nearly impossible and that the licensing is obstructive, and the code base functions slow as heck, and the ASP framework is a complete failure, heading for the scrapheap of history soon enough.

Ruben

 

BTW - I'm the only individual who has posted any information on the C# implementations thos far but I'll just happily post further pertanant facts

So in a nutshell...if you want to create something riddled with MS patents and which impair your distribution of code, or an implementation of the CLI, and which is also slow and inefficient...C# is your clear choice.

BullionBox, would you repost the app or provide a link to it please? I would like to see how you laid it out.

 

Ruben, is not the place to talk about you programming preferences. I personally like C# and I have deployed many solutions with mono at my workplace. We could discuss it infitely, but as I said, its not the place.

BullionBox, I would like to see your software. I've developed one for my personal use too. Maybe we can share some ideas. :thumb:

 

Sure.

 

I respect your stance on open source software, but I made this small app to meet my own needs. Since I'm stuck with windows I decided that c# was the best language for my own egoistic needs.

I'm actually a fan of open source and I hope that more people will discover linux and OSS, but I'm not fundamentalistic about it (not saying u are).

 

Its the interoperability problem that bothers me and the patent encroachment and the runtime environments. FWIW - I'm not a Java fan either, I hate Java programs in business. But at least it isn't legally bound up like a snarl.

Here is a screenshot of an app I was working on... I lost interest and decided to just keep using open office calc instead. Written in C# using an MS-Access db to store the data.

 

Those two look great!

and mrbrklyn is a bully...

 

Nice. I should add a save button like you have.

I'm thinking about adding an ajax-type search function that automatically updates the search result as you type in the query. If it's possible. Also, I don't think it's a good idea to store the thumbnails in the xml file like I'm doing now...

 

My images are small enough that I did not use a thumbnail... I don't notice any performance degradation unless I am loading from a usb thumb drive... the images were stored in "some" directory with the path to the image stored in the db.
double clicking the image would display it in full screen mode.

 

Looks like I can't edit my initial post anymore:
