Sitting on your butt today because of the snow? Learn some basic web code? Take 5 minutes out to understand CSS Classes.

Go to http://jsfiddle.net/ and get a basic understanding for lined CSS (Style sheets).

Below is an example on how to manipulate a web page through styles one in line and one from a Cascading Stylesheet CSS file. See how you can change these and post your picture. (For more properties other than color)

In top left HTML :

<h1 class=”h2-red”>Hi</h1>
<h1 style=”color: green;”>Hi Green</h1>
In top Right CSS
.h2-red
{
color: red;
text-align: center;
}

Note Align can have many

left Left-aligns the heading
right Right-aligns the heading
center Center-aligns the heading
justify The heading is justified to both margins

Try playing around with the code in the .h2-red and the HTML. Post your results.

There are a few fixes out there that didn’t work for me.

I deleted the IISEXPRESS Folder and added _CSRUN_DISABLE_WORKAROUNDS to system environmental variables rebooted etc. No luck (though this has worked for others).

What I had to do to fix: Open Visual Studio in /safemode as administrator. Then add the ASP.NET Web Project to the solution in Visual studio.

Worked first time.  Could be an add-on.

Started on the base framework for Items and Player Dwellings. Cabin Raiding rules, House Guards, Material “Enchantability” and the like.

Maintainability index is 93/90/95. Good stuff. – 600 solid lines

Keywords: WPF Winforms Slow UI C# speed increase

I am a developer by trade and I run into legacy Winform and WPF applications quite a bit.

I went to look for a simplistic Parallel.ForEach Example, and I couldn’t really find one.

In the constructor you will see something like this. Where everything is Synchronous and slow.

Since some of these are SQL calls unless I go the route of using the new SQL Asynchronous features (which would require a bit of real rework). I am going the lazy route:

GetUser();
LoadWeapons();
LoadPlayer();
LoadLastKnownCombatLocation();

First we want to load each into an Action.
var getUser = () => {GetUser()};
var loadWeapons = () => {LoadWeapons()};
var loadPlayer = () => {LoadPlayer()};
var loadLastKnownCombatLocation = () => {LoadLastKnownCombatLocation()};

//Create List (any IEnumerable should work)
var allActions = new List();

//the add can be done in the instantiation using {}’s instead
allActions.Add(getUser);
allActions.Add(loadWeapons);
allActions.Add(loadPlayer);
allActions.Add(loadLastKnownCombatLocation);

Parallel.ForEach(allActions, (e) => e.Invoke());

This is only solid in situations where UI is not dependent on another call first, IE LoadUser() may be needed to LoadPlayer(), You can easily make a parallel for all data pulls then another for all
UI updating.

I had the pleasure of putting together the Holiday party again this year with Don Wert from Atlanta MDF.
We had 400 sign up and ran out of the 80 spare badges at the door.

We had a monster table of toys for toys for tots, had 52 “leads” from recruiters for jobs. Had food, drinks, dessert, prizes and raised 700 or so for the Local UG’s.

All in all it was a good night.. next GiveCamp 😉
