I seem to be making every mistake it's possible to make as I work my way using Generics seriously for the first time. This time I want to know why I can't call a static method on a generic type, even though a static method is defined on the interface that the generic type must conform to. thus: interface ISomething { ***static void Bob() } class theClass { ***public void T TheMethod() where T : ISomething ***{ ******T.Bob(); //Compiler throws a fit* ***} } The fit the compiler throws is complaining that*"T is a 'type parameter'*which is not valid in the given context. [edit: alright, more digging turfs up that it's apparantly because inheritance doesn't apply to static methods. (my actual code uses an abstract class, so perhaps the interface code above couldn't have compiled anyway.) Hmmmm... So how to get at something type-specific... I think i'll have to use those things that I've just forgotten the name of that go above your declaration in square brackets...Attributes! that's the cookie!] More...

Just found a really really useful feature on the VB site that alllows one to easily create excel docs from SQL via linq. Looking at the following diagram http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/CompilerFeaturesCs3Vb9.png I very much doubt you can linq to excel via sql unless you use VB. If not I'll have to use VB. PS some VB language intricacies (press 'space' instead of 'return ' when coding. Place a '_' at the end of a linq query line - I'd rather not have to go through this strangeness) More...

Was just reading this interview Bill Gates did with LiveSide.net This part was in relation to transparency and Microsoft: http://ms-os.com/Themes/AlmostGlass/images/icon-quote.gif Bill Gates wrote:Now, there are people who deserve credit, like coming up with Channel 9, which in retrospect is an obvious thing of, okay, you have somebody with a random camera go around, film the person, put it up on the Web, and that's a neat thing that got a certain critical mass and a certain kind of cache to allow us to connect our developers down in the trenches with people who care about their work, and cut out all the stuff in the middle that tends to be so headline oriented and so narrowing the message about how this person is making tradeoffs of how they want to improve the product, you know, not get that feedback, not share, hey, you think we blew it, well, we're sorry, here's why we made that mistake, here's how we're going to make it better, really see the human at the other side of that interaction. But I think the desire, at least relative to our business model, has always been there. Link to interview*(Word Document) More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds
