Clemens Vasters - TechnologyIt's 2008. Where's my flying car?Regular expressions for SQL Server, 2nd try- August 11, 2003 Dan Farino, who wrote the CLR based, Regex extended stored procedure on which I put a warning sign yesterday, wrote me an email back (I notified him that I wrote that blog entry) and told me that he just uploaded an unmanaged version. Haven't downloaded it, yet, but it seems to be functionally equivalent. If it's stable and quick, I can think of 2 bazillon uses for this -- including, of course, Regex based XML parsing inside SQL...http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,af4f5b5c-cce5-4a66-bf57-6ec01c5cc17c.aspx Namespaces continued- August 10, 2003 Tim Bray, author of the Namespace spec, enlightens us here that I am technically wrong by using the term "empty namespace". Yes. Absolutely. But the "not member of any namespace" vs. "member of the empty namespace" distinction becomes meaningless once you start coding against an XML infrastructure, because in the programming models, there is pretty much always a namespace qualifier.

This seems to stem from the sad fact that RSS never got a proper namespace assigned to it and is one of the hottest schemas specs in the XML space right now. Sorry, there may people in disbelief, but the XML Namespaces spec is normative and referenced in the current XML 1.0 (Second Edition) spec. The empty namespace is a namespace.

Binding nested grids is pretty easy and they show all you want, but editing items in a nested grid just doesn't work as easy as editing in a simple Grid. In fact, it doesn't work at all. What happens is that you can put a nested grid into edit mode, but you never seem to be able to catch any UpdateCancel events from the edited item. I tried to look for a solution by asking Google, but...http://vasters.com/clemensv/PermaLink,guid,0c0d98b1-fb37-4c2f-a39c-36ed9a2fe853.aspx |
