  • StringBuilder and String Concatination

    Tuesday, June 08, 2004
    Someone over at We're Here (big Flash community site) was asking why String Concatination is so slow in .NET.  He found the StringBuilder Class so I thought I'd take the opportunity to explain the two and how they work, etc. This topic has been talked about a lot, but I thought I'd just point this ramble out in case someone might learn something they didn't know, maybe teach me something I don't know.

  • DataBinding Case Sensitivity

    Monday, June 07, 2004
    Julie points out a little brain fart she had (haven't we all?) with DataBinding to a ListBox (setting the ValueMember to be exact).  This is a great little “duh” tip and I wanted to point it out. What I find interesting though is that when looking up a field in a DataTable, it is NOT Case Sensitive.  Underneath it all, I believe DataBinding is just Reflection and Reflection is case sensitive (unless you tell it not to be).  So my guess is that they decided to go with the default for consistency.
