c# .net sorting datagrid culture
By default, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid will sort String-based columns using a culture-sensitive sort. This can cause unexpected results when sorting product numbers that contain hyphens. For example, items will be sorted as 10-199, 103-10, 10-399 rather than 10-199, 10-399, 103-10. Similar bug reports can be found at http://bytes.com/topic/net/answers/121496-sorting-datagrid-containing-dash-hyphen and http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/415793/dataview-sort-ignores

culture interview qualification
Just as there are developers who are orders of magnitude more productive and creative than other developers, so are there testers who are similarly outstanding. We all have our opinions about what constitutes an outstanding tester. I believe one contributing factor is a matter of perspective, that a great tester approaches software in a different way than a developer.This is not to say that an individual can’t have both perspectives, or that one is superior to the other.I ask because there are

team teamwork culture team-building
I am having my own software service company, DIGICORP and I am leading a team of 10 developers. The total company size is of around 50 persons. We are four friends who have started this venture from 2004.During last year, we have read the Getting Real and Rework books from 37signals founders. We closely followed what Zappos did, we have started focusing more on providing quality service and building great environment in the company. This has changed a lot in the way we were doing business.We hav

culture problem-solving spoken-languages
There is a school of thought in linguistics that problem solving is very much tied to the syntax, semantics, grammar, and flexibility of one’s own native spoken language.Working with various international development teams, I can clearly see a mental culture (if you will) in the codebase. Programming language aside, the German coding is quite different from my colleagues in India. As well, code is distinctly different in Middle America as it is in Coastal America (actually, IBM noticed this ye

culture development-environment
Throughout my career I had worked at companies that had a collection of different environments for different purposes. We always had more or less our desktop environment, a test environment, a QA environment, a staging environment and a production environment. This went for both servers/applications and any data sources we were using.When I started at my current company I found that 90% of the apps were either developed on a desktop environment against production data sources or developed direct

productivity work-environment culture problem-solving
I am looking for a few ideas on how to change a highly conventional work culture to be more innovated in their approached to problem solving. I’ve come across this article and am looking for more specific and practical ways that we as developers can help each other think outside of the box. I’ve constructed a simple formula of how to energize innovation in my everyday development.

communication culture wording
Possible Duplicate:Another term for common code smell Programmers know immediately what I mean if I talk of finding a ‘WTF’ in the code base. In particular, it is a noun that refers to an extremely wrongheaded approach/implementation, and not typically an exclamation (though it can be used also as an exclamation).I don’t want to use expressions that thinly veil obscenity, but I can’t think of any substitute that communicates this idea quickly and succinctly. Any ideas?

asp.net-mvc-2 culture
I’m getting a System.FormatException at runtime because the system culture is set to Spanish in which ‘,’ is the decimal separator, and the user enters the ‘.’ as decimal separator (because he or she uses the numpad).I tried setting the following in the web.config in order to set ‘.’ as decimal separator but didn’t work.<globalization culture=”en-US” uiCulture=”en” />I’m using telerik mvc numeric textbox and want to set the ‘.’ as the decimal separator, so users can use the numpad to enter

.net winapi process culture
My first attempt was using the System.Diagnostics.Process.ProcessName to find the executable and System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.Language to determine the language.This does not work for e.g. Microsoft “Excel.exe” 2007. If you have a look at the file properties in explorer you will see the language is set to “Language Neutral” even if the UI is actually showing german.How can I find out the shown language, preferably at runtime by inspecting the process/exe?

asp.net json datetime culture
I’ve searched around and I’m really not sure why this happens.Most of the time my app runs in GMT from devices using GMT, but I just span a server up in Singapore, so the time is 8hrs ahead. I’m seeing some strange behaviour with DateTime objects parsed from JSON:My app received a JSON (ISO 8601) date like this:LastSync=2013-01-10T11:05:38.822ZI’m using a simple .asmx web-service, that uses the built in JSON serializer for .Net 3.5, the automatically parsed DateTime object returns a date 8hrs ah

programmer-relations automated-testing team culture
Perhaps programmers have their own unit tests, perhaps as the result of doing Test-Driven Development. They run these tests very often; perhaps every few minutes, but at least a few times each day.In my experience, QA’s automated tests tend to go after bigger chunks of functionality, and are therefore slower and usually less reliable than programmer’s unit tests. Still, there is a lot of value in getting the results of these tests in programmer’s hands as soon as possible.Should QA push for prog

team culture programmer-relations
A common question from the testers I mentor is “When do I stop investigating on an issue, log a defect with everything I’ve found/determined so far, and hand it over to dev?” I have yet to come up with an answer I think is reasonable – a heuristic that I feel will work well enough enough of the time. Any suggestions?
