If you need to count and then loop you may be better off with a list. If you're using count to check for members you can use `Any()` to avoid enumerating the entire collection.

You may have to be more specific about what a "novell server" is. From what I understand, Novell servers run some form of Suse linux. Sql Server is a windows only product. My company, however, does have clients that run Novell networks, and we do run Sql Servers on their network. But they're hosted on a win box.....

According to [Stroustrup](http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq2.html#static-cast): > The "new-style casts" were introduced to give programmers a chance to state their intentions more clearly and for the compiler to catch more errors. So really, its for safety as it does extra compile-time checking.

I use static_cast for two reasons. 1. It's explicitly clear what's taking place. I can't read over that without realizing there's a cast going on. With C-style casts you eye can pass right over it without pause. 2. It's easy to search for every place in my code where I'm casting.

C-style cast is the worst way to go. It's harder to see, ungreppable, conflates different actions that should not be conflated, and can't do everything that C++-style casts can do. They really should have removed C-style casts from the language.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you looking for software to allow NetWare applications to talk to a SQL Server running on Windows? The wording of your original question implied that you want to run on the NetWare machine. The question of why SQL Server doesn't support NetWare is best asked of Microsoft, but AFA...

General rule is if your method doesn't expect `null` arguments then you should throw [System.ArgumentNullException](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.argumentnullexception.aspx). Throwing proper `Exception` not only protects you from resource corruption and other bad things but serves as a guide for users ...

@Chris Karcher I would say absolutely correct. The only thing I would say is check the params separately and have the exeption report the param that was null also as it makes tracking where the null is coming from much easier. @wvdschel wow!

I generally prefer not doing either, since it's just slowing things down. NullPointerExceptions are thrown later on anyway, which will quickly lead the user to discovering they're passing null to the method. I used to check, but 40% of my code ended up being checking code, at which point I decided it was just not worth...

As noted by MDCore, [SnippetsEmu](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1318) is a popular Vim script that does just that and more.

I agree on RegExBuddy, but if you want free or when I'm working somewhere and not on my own system [RegExr](http://gskinner.com/RegExr/) is a great online (Flash) tool that has lots of pre-built regex segments to work with and does real-time pattern matching for your testing.

I agree or disagree with [wvdschel's post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/32295/3798217), it depends on what he's specifically saying. In this case, sure, this method will crash on `null` so the explicit check here is probably not needed. However, if the method simply stores the passed data, and there is some other meth...

This isn't a design question, really, though it may seem like it. (Well, okay, it's kind of a design question). What I'm wondering is why the C++ `std::fstream` classes don't take a `std::string` in their constructor or open methods. Everyone loves code examples so: ``` #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include ...
Why don't the std::fstream classes take a std::string?

Your problem is your directory service, whether it's Microsoft's Active Directory or Novell's Directory Services (I think it's called). Sounds to me like your DNS is broken if your clients can't resolve names to IP address.

Sorry to be prickly, but I'm not a noob: I know you can't install SQL Server on Linux. Do you guys have customers running Netware trying to connect to a SQL Server? That is what I am dealing with.

I would also highly recommend using a logging framework. The `logger.IsDebugEnabled()` is not mandatory, it is just that it can be faster to check whether the system is in the debug level before logging. Using a logging framework means you can configure logging levels on the fly without restarting the application. Y...

If it's just HTML, all you need to do is change the extension to .doc and word will open it as if it's a word document. However, if there are images to include or javascript to run it can get a little more complicated.
