The problem, as I see it, is in the verbosity of the version number: currently it is 3.5.3167.26981 which is a mouthful for the users to say when they are reporting bugs. What I would like is something more like this: 3.5 (build 3198) where I would have to manually update the major and minor versions, but the build number updates automatically.

Lately I've found it pretty easy to do some fancy things with UI design and with WPF specifically we're finding new ways to do layouts that are better looking and more functional for the user, but in contrast one of the business focused guys at our local .NET User Group wouldn't even think of using WPF until it had a datagrid that he could use to make Excel like input forms.
1. So basically, have you rethought the design of your business apps as you move to Web/WPF/Silverlight designs, because for us at least - in winforms we kept things fairly functional and uniform, or are you trying to keep that "known" UI?
2. Would a dedicated design guy (for larger teams), or a dev with more design chops rank higher when looking at hiring these days? (Check out what a designer did for [Scott Hanselman's BabySmash][1] and [Microsoft's Prism demo][2])
3. Are there any design hints/tips/guidelines you use for your UI - especially for WPF?
4. What sites would you recommend for design?

027 123 5644

042123456
I need to search for a phone number in a similiarly arbitrary format ( eg `07123456` should find the entry `(07) 123 456`
The way I'd do this in a normal programming language is to strip all the non-digit characters out of the 'needle', then go through each number in the haystack, strip all non-digit characters out of it, then compare against the needle, eg (in ruby)
digits_only = lambda{ |n| n.gsub /[^\d]/, '' }
needle = digits_only[input_phone_number]
haystack.map(&digits_only).include?(needle)
The catch is, I need to do this in MySQL. It has a host of string functions, none of which really seem to do what I want.
Currently I can think of 2 'solutions'
* Hack together a franken-query of `CONCAT` and `SUBSTR`
* Insert a `%` between every character of the needle ( so it's like this: `%0%7%1%2%3%4%5%6%` )
However, neither of these seem like particularly elegant solutions.

Is it better to use window.onload to do this functionality or have a script block after the DOM elements I need to modify? For either case, why is it better?
For example:
function updateDOM(id) {
// updates the id element based on form state
}
should I invoke it via:
window.onload = function() { updateDOM("myElement"); };
or:
<div id="myElement">...</div>
<script language="javascript">
updateDOM("myElement");
</script>
The former seems to be the standard way to do it, but the latter seems to be just as good, perhaps better since it will update the element as soon as the script is hit, and as long as it is placed after the element, I don't see a problem with it.
Any thoughts? Is one version really better than the other? | javascript | dom | null | null | null | null | open | Should I use window.onload or script block?

I'm trying to convert a .Net dataset into an XML stream, transform it with an xsl file in memory, then output the result to a new XML file.
Here's my current code:
BufferedStream stream = new BufferedStream(new MemoryStream());
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
ds.WriteXml(stream);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream, true);
stream.Position = 0;
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(sr, null);
XslCompiledTransform transformer = new XslCompiledTransform();
transformer.Load(@"<path to xsl file>");
transformer.Transform(reader, null, writer);
For some reason in the transformer.Transform method, the reader has no root node, in fact the reader isn't reading anything from the StreamReader.

I've been looking at a few php framework recently and it came down to 2 framework. The zend framework or Code Igniter.
I prefer CI because if it's simple design. It's very barebone and just kept it simple. But the thing I didn't like is the weak template system. The template system is important for me because I will be working with another designer being able to give him a good template system is a big plus.
Zend was the second choice because of a better template system builtin. But zend is a different beast from CI. It emphasis 'loose coupling between modules' but It is a bigger framework and I don't like to feel like i have all things things under the hood that I never use. Those are unecessary overhead in my opinion.
So I thought about putting a template system into CI, namely smarty.
So, my question is: How easy/hard is the process. From my initial scan of the CI documentation I can see that the layout of the framework is easy enough to understand and I anticipate no problems.
But I want to know if anyone of you used it before and therefore are aware of any gotchas that I don't know that is going this hard/impossible.
I also want to know if this is a good thing to do at all. Is the template system in CI enough for normal use?(which I doubt, it is very limited, you have to escape into php to do pretty much everything) Is there any other template module that is good for CI?

I've tried [this](http://www.gregbenedict.com/2008/02/21/mysql-ruby-gem-install-issues-solved/), [this](http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ruby.html), [this](http://installingcats.com/2007/12/13/mysql-ruby-gem-install-problem-on-mac-os-x-leopard/), [this](http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/2007/06/14/os-x-mysql-ruby-gem-install-problem), and a ton of others.
None of them have worked for me. Is anyone else having this problem? If so what did you do to fix it that is not mentioned above?

I want to have a method where I can say "if it goes bad, come back with this type of Exception", right?
For example, something like (**and this doesn't work**):
static ExType TestException<ExType>(string message) where ExType:Exception
{
Exception ex1 = new Exception();
ExType ex = new Exception(message);
return ex;
}
Now whats confusing me is that we _KNOW_ that the generic type is going to be of an Exception type due to the _where_ clause. However, the code fails because we cannot implicitly cast *Exception* to *ExType*. We cannot explicitly convert it either, such as:
static ExType TestException<ExType>(string message) where ExType:Exception
{
Exception ex1 = new Exception();
ExType ex = (ExType)(new Exception(message));
return ex;
}
As that fails too.. So **is this kind of thing possible?** I have a strong feeling its going to be real simple, but I am having a tough day with the old noggin, so cut me some slack :P

This has worked ok, however there have been a couple of instances where people have made "breaking changes" to the common project, which works for them, but doesn't work for others.

I'm looking for a cheap, simple, reliable web proxy appliance. Just a box that plugs into power and ethernet, and that redirects HTTP traffic to other existing web servers. It's intended for low volume web sites.

Basically, once I have the code to access the file (will review the answers there in a minute) what would be the best way to **test** it?
I am thinking create method which just spawns lots of [BackgroundWorker][1]'s or something and tells them to all load/save the file, and test with varying file/object sizes. Then, get a response back from the threads to see if it failed/succeeded/made the world implode etc.
Can you guys offer any suggestions on the best way to approach this? As I said before, this is all kinda new to me :)

I have a Sharepoint Site (MOSS2007) with an ASPX Page on it. However, I cannot use any inline source and stuff like Event handlers do not work, because Sharepoint does not allow Server Side Script on ASPX Pages per default.
Two solutions:
1. Change the PageParserPath in web.config as per [this site][1]
> <PageParserPaths>
> <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/pages/test.aspx" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />
> </PageParserPaths>
2. Create all the controls and Wire them up to Events in the .cs File, thus completely eliminating some of the benefits of ASP.net
I wonder what the best practice would be? Number 1 looks like it's the correct choice, but changing the web.config is something I want to use sparingly whenever possible.

So, I am interested in the opinions of others on this site. Obviously, I'll add a bug to our defect tracking to make sure this error behavior gets fixed.
