resizing array at runtime in vb.net - Stack Overflow

I was just coding along today in VB.Net and realized that I sure would like to build a list during runtime based on the names of the tables in any database passed to it but with the flexibility of not knowing how many tables are in it. Turn out that there is a way. The link is at the end after my code.


Dim Tablelist as New List(Of String)()
Dim odbcconn As OleDb.OleDbConnection=New oledb.OleDbConnection(connstring)
Dim restrictions(3) As string
restrictions(3) = "MSYS"
odbcconn.Open()
Dim dt As DataTable = odbcconn.GetSchema("Tables")
For Each dr In dt.rows
If InStr(Ucase(dr("TABLE_NAME")),"MYS") = 0 then
Tablelist.Add(dr("TABLE_NAME"))
End If
Next
odbcconn.Close


First a list of tables are returned from the connection object and then all tables that do not contain the string "MYS" in it's name are filled in to the TableList.

Introduction to MonoDroid/Android Programming for .NET/C# Developers - CodeProject®

Introduction to Article

Android development is predominantly with the Java Language based on the Java VM "Dalvik" using the Eclipse IDE. If a developer or company has already made a significant investment in .NET, the time to learn Java and the Android Mobile Platform is significant. An attendee of this session will be able to take their existing knowledge of .NET/C# and Visual studio and immediately apply this to writing apps for the Android Mobile Platform. The significance of this should not be understated. Learning a new language, no matter how similar to .NET/C#, results in a significant learning curve as well as a significant time investment. Add in the time required to learn Eclipse, and there is even more time required. With this session, you will learn how to develop Android Applications using Visual Studio and the Novell

3D basics using Silverlight-5 and XNA - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

This article presents the simplest possible Silverlight/XNA program: a basic spinning triangle, albeit with full 3d lighting effects. It is the 3D equivalent of the classic ‘Hello World’ program. It comprises about 50 lines of code, and the rationale behind every line is explained.

vozMe - From text to speech (speech synthesis)

Now that FoxVox - the firefox add-on that is used to convert text to mp3 files - is no longer compatible because I have the latest version of firefox, I have to come up with another solution. And here is one. Go to the link to find an online app that lets you copy and paste the text into a text box, press a button, and you will get a mp3 file. Works pretty well!

Animations in HTML5 - CodeProject

Deutsch: HTML5 Logo English: HTML5 official lo...
Image via Wikipedia
Introduction to article

I am currently giving a lecture on creating WebApplications using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. This is a lecture with tutorials. For one of the tutorials, I picked a sample canvas animation - just showing in which direction we are heading to with a technology like this. Then I introduced the CSS3 animation in the lecture (everyone was very excited about it) and wanted to create a simple homework task using the CSS3 animations. What came to my mind was: how easy or hard would it be to actually transform the canvas animation into a complete CSS3 animation?
This involved several parts:
  • Creating all the different
    -elements in order to "box" everything
  • Draw everything using styles on those elements with style rules like borders, background-gradients and rounded corners
  • Actually animating the elements
The reason for using CSS3 animation over the -element is quite important: While browsers can optimize their elements performance (regarding their style, i.e., CSS), they cannot optimize our custom drawing routines used in a canvas. The reason for this lies in the browser's ability to use hardware mainly the graphics card. Currently the browser does not give us direct access to the graphics card, i.e., every drawing operation has to go over some function in the browser first.
This problem could be prevented with techniques such as webgl, where the browser does give the developer direct access to the graphics card. However, this is treated as a security problem and will not become standardized. One important rule for developing WebApplications is standardization - since this is our portal to a huge customer base. If we excluded some of the most popular browsers, we would certainly lose a lot of potential visitors.

Turn your Android device into a virtual Xbox

There is a new service launching that allows you to play XBox games on mobile devices off of cloud structure!

25 games including LA Noire, Batman: Arkham City, and Assassin’s Creed:Revelations are coming first to Android and later to Apple mobile devices.
I supports PCs and Mac also!!!

The only drawbacks:
>

Only Android 2.3 or newer is supported.
iOS hasn't been implemented yet.

I think that this bears watching!
