Microsoft Deserves Some Credit

-
I am the first to point out system deficiencies and am happy to let you know that this morning I am ragging on no one.

I have a new Surface Pro 3 and am loving it as McDonalds might say, this morning I am very happy with Microsoft for a different reason.

At work we are using Team Visual Studio - phenomenal product, especially for remote workers.  My work computer, which is a mean laptop with 16 gigs of ram and a kick butt processor has Visual Studio 2012.  This morning I wanted to revisit a project I was working on so decided to try and connect my surface with VS 2013 to the project.  It was so absolutely seamless that it put a happy spin on the day ahead! Congrats to the Visual Studio Online team.

So after investigating it looks like with VS 2012 Microsoft did something brilliant - they made the Visual Studio interface backward compatible thus not forcing an office to upgrade all developer software at once but more importantly allowing me to work at 5 in the morning from my surface (comfortably on the couch) on my VS 2012 projects using VS 2013.

Kudos to you Microsoft!

Linq - Data Entities - Records by Max Date with CASE

 I needed to get essentially a summary by case statement for a given date.  As you can see I have defined the MAX date into a variable.  This example also shows using a substring of the first character in a LET statement  DateTime? maxDate =                 (from a in context.tbl_tslog                 orderby a.CurrentTime                 select (DateTime?) a.CurrentTime ).Max(); var dbRecords = (from c in context.tbl_testlog                            where (c.CurrentTime >=maxDate)                                         let range = (  c.Usr.ToUpper().Substring(0,1) == "B" ? "US" :                     ...

Linq Remove from list based on other table

One way to do it when you have two lists (repYearlyData and otherdata)       foreach (var yd in repYearlyData)             {                 for(int d=0;d<otherdata.Count;d++)                 {                     if (yd.AssignedRep == otherdata[d].AssignedRep)                     {                         otherdata.RemoveAt(d);                     }                 }             } var result = peopleList2 . Where ( p => ! peopleList1 . Any ( p2 => p2 . ID == p . ID ));         public List<TeamAverages> GetRepMonthlyAverages() ...
