Comments from the Editor
It is hard to believe that it is already
2009. I remember when the book 2001: A Space Odyssey seemed like a distant
future. The follow-up book focusing on 2010 seemed even farther away. In
another year, both dates will be in the history books. Unfortunately, it
looks like our space technology won’t be even close to what either story
suggested.
Here on Earth, however, there is one key thing to note. In 2008,
Codeguru had a lot of great articles published by many of our members just
like you. Some of our top articles of the year include (in no specific
order):
- A Basic VB.NET ADO.NET Tutorial: Adding, Deleting, and
Updating by Mendhak
- ADO.NET Entity Framework Tutorial and Basics by Mendhak
- A Basic ADO.NET Tutorial in Visual Basic.NET by Mendhak
- Developing a Multi-Select ComboBox and TreeView ComboBox for
Windows Applications by Rahil Jan Muhammad
- Export DataGridView to Microsoft Excel by Paul Avery
- Custom Paging for GridView by Harsh Gupta
- Multi-Threaded TCP/IP Service Without .NET Socket Class
by Artur Sharipov
- MFC Feature Pack: An Introduction by Marius Bancila
- Edit Control with Icon and Background Text by Marius
Bancila
- Extending the ComboBox with C# by Hannes du Preez
Kudos to these authors for their submissions. These were among the
highest read articles that were contributed in 2008. It will be
interesting to see what topics and authors reach the top in 2009. Maybe
you can even make the list by submitting an article!
Until next week…
Brad!
