#vb-net — Public Fediverse posts

As soon as I left high school, I needed a small IT job, and that's what I got!

Using VB.net and Access (which I had learned at school), I had to create a management system for the dam's water irrigation contracts.

Twelve years later, it is still in use and working great: simple with a single task!

That's it! A boring story, I admit, but it's really nice to have something that ‘works’.

I have to remember that my programming skill isn't regressing because I'm not using async in C++, I'm learning a new language and only starting using async in VB .NET in 2020 when I was using it for almost 8 years. Only been learning and using C++ regularly for a year and a half (I did watch a big tutorial playlist in 2021 and modified a few lines in the wf-shell C++ files to add menu size configuration in January 2022 but that doesn't count much).

I have officially more COBOL than VB.net in my repos ^^"

Also: Python :BlobhajHeart:

I'm grateful for pass by reference and pass by value being different things in VB .Net on top of strings being specified as reference types in the documentation so you can know whether you should move the data itself around or pass a reference to it. Makes understanding #Rust easier.

Хабр, GPT, корпоративные блоги и БМЛы: оцениваем глубины ужаса

Я не испытываю ненависти ни к корпоративным блогам, как таковым, ни к большим языковым моделям в целом. А вот к мусорному контенту, созданному левой пяткой ради ссылок на сайт или телеграм-канал - испытываю, и еще как. И как раз вот тут встретились два одиночества - ленивые копирайтеры мусоропроизводители и генеративные сети. Получилась, как вы понимаете, вовсе не конфетка. Долго работая с LLM и GPT, неизбежно начинаешь замечать характерные паттерны, обороты, формулировки, характерные для генеративного контента. Наткнувшись на очередную очевидно генеративную статью и убедившись, что из таких статей у компании состоит весь блог, я решила исследовать это дело подробнее и желательно - автоматически. За подробностями, результатами, ужасом и даже кодом на VB.NET приглашаю под кат!

Today I learned about the Caller Information Attributes in .NET.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/attributes/caller-information

These attributes make it easy to get information about a caller at runtime. For example, getting the name of the calling member, or the specific expression that was passed as an argument.

`CallerArgumentExpressionAttribute` is especially interesting. More details are available in the draft feature spec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-10.0/caller-argument-expression

I like programming, but the problem is that I have to think and have my head work in a specific way but it's difficult to do that and it kinda makes my head hurt, and I don't particularly like thinking that much. I need to start using #Rust more rather than #Python since I don't like Python at all and only use it due to simplicity. I'd much rather be using VB .NET since it makes sense to me.

After a week of wrangling ASP.NET Web Forms and onboarding a new developer at a client, I'm glad the weekend is here. 🎉

I feel like I have to remind myself how Web Forms works every time I go back to use it. It's like jumping into a time machine and realising you don't have access to the last 15+ years worth of innovations. Especially as this project uses VB.NET.

In VB.NET is there a way of initialising an array of numbers to contain individual numbers plus ranges?

Such as 1-3,10-12,20,22

would contain 1,2,3,10,11,12,20,22

?

Seems like you should be able to, but my Googling is failing.

Thanks in advance.

.NET Language Strategy has been recently updated!

The new strategy document is hosted on the Microsoft Learn site, and it is broken down into three major .NET languages: #csharp, #fsharp & #VBNet.

Today we finally deployed our client's updated ASP.NET Web Forms app, now with a Content Security Policy that blocks unsafe-inline JavaScript! 🥳

Wrangling ASP.NET was fun, but I'm happy to see this little project finished. It's the busiest I've been in a long time.

#AspNet #AspNetWebForms #DotNet #CSharp #VbNet #WebDev

Wrapped up implementation on a massive piece of work today: updating a 150,000+ line ASP.NET Web Forms codebase to support a Content Security Policy and block unsafe-inline JavaScript.

This has been a massive piece of work, especially because Web Forms generates and adds its own unsafe inline JavaScript at runtime!

Here's how we did it.
