Tip

3. Naming Fields: Choose a Context Name

Tip: When naming fields/columns in a table, use ONE name for the data in the field. For example, although states are called provinces and other names in other coutries, use one or the other in the database but not both. Use CompanyState, avoid CompanyStateProvince. Use labels in your website or program to switch context.

10. Nullable Type

Short Definition: Nullable types are instances of System.Nullable(T). A Nullable type can represent any of the normal values for its value type or it can be assigned the value null. This is useful when dealing with databases that may have types that do not have a value.

1. Removable Disks - a brief overview & history

Wherever would we be without portable, inexpensive removable media? From the old, eight-inch floppy, to the latest Blue Ray DVD format, little spinning disks have provided computer users with convient, off-line storage. This is a brief overview and history of the various disk formats that have come, gone, and are - for the moment - sticking around.

3. Application.ProcessMessages

I always found the sleep command in ObjectPAL very useful. The following code does about the same thing in Delphi. It makes use of GetTickCount which is a Win32 API call that retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started, up to 49.7 days.
