Every tag has an overview topic. This topic has a special section named "Versions". In that section, different versions can be defined in a table that has that should have at least 2 columns: the first one should be the name of the version the last one should be the release ...

For some tags it makes sense to have multiple version tables. There might be different subsets of a programming language or framework available, say for different device types as in this example. The different tables should be prefaced with a heading. This markup: ## desktop development kit ## ...

An example cannot be associated with a version number directly. Parts of it can however be declared to apply only for certain versions. <!-- if version [eq Java SE 1.3] --> This content is for Java SE 1.3 <!-- end version if -->

If there are many version tables, the title of the desired one has to be included in angle brackets. <!-- if version <Micro Framework> [eq 4.4] --> This content is for Micro Framework 4.4 <!-- end version if -->

The markdown help states Available conditionals are gt, gte, lt, lte, eq, and neq. <!-- if version [eq C++03] --> eq equal to <!-- end version if --> <!-- if version [neq C++03] --> neq not equal to <!-- end version if --> <!-- if version [gt C++03] -...

SELECT @@VERSION Returns the version of MS SQL Server running on the instance. SELECT @@SERVERNAME Returns the name of the MS SQL Server instance. SELECT @@SERVICENAME Returns the name of the Windows service MS SQL Server is running as. SELECT serverproperty('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS'...

One might want to GROUP BY more than one column declare @temp table(age int, name varchar(15)) insert into @temp select 18, 'matt' union all select 21, 'matt' union all select 21, 'matt' union all select 18, 'luke' union all select 18, 'luke' union all select 21, 'luke' union all select 1...

-- Identity primary key - unique arbitrary increment number create table person ( id int identity(1,1) primary key not null, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- GUID primary key - arbitrary unique value for table create table person ( id uniqueIdentifier default (newId()) primary key, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- natural primary key - using an existing piece of data within the table that uniquely identifies the record create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) primary key not null )

-- composite key - using two or more existing columns within a table to create a primary key create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null, primary key (firstName, lastName, dob) )

ALTER TABLE person ADD CONSTRAINT pk_PersonSSN PRIMARY KEY (ssn) Note, if the primary key column (in this case ssn) has more than one row with the same candidate key, the above statement will fail, as primary key values must be unique.

In the absence of explicit initialization, external and static variables are guaranteed to be initialized to zero; automatic variables (including register variables) have indeterminate1 (i.e., garbage) initial values. Scalar variables may be initialized when they are defined by following the name w...

There are several to evaluate a certain expression when debugging a Java application. 1. Manually inspecting an expression When the program execution is suspended at a certain line (either due to a breakpoint or manually stepping through the debugger), you can manually evaluate an expression by se...

n order to debug a remote Java application, it should be launched with some extra arguments to instruct the JVM to execute it in debug mode. This is done as follows: java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -jar sampleApp.jar The above command tells the JVM to s...

AssemblyConfiguration: The AssemblyConfiguration attribute must have the configuration that was used to build the assembly. Use conditional compilation to properly include different assembly configurations. Use the block similar to the example below. Add as many different configurations as you com...

The using keyword ensures that the resource defined within the statement only exists within the scope of the statement itself. Any resources defined within the statement must implement the IDisposable interface. These are incredibly important when dealing with any connections that implement the IDi...

To do this you need a reference to the assembly which contains the type. If you have another type available which you know is in the same assembly as the one you want you can do this: typeof(KnownType).Assembly.GetType(typeName); where typeName is the name of the type you are looking for (incl...

Problem: You need to match text of a certain format, for example: 1-a-0 6/p/0 4 g 0 That's a digit, a separator (one of -, /, or a space), a letter, the same separator, and a zero. Naïve solution: Adapting the regex from the Basics example, you come up with this regex: [0-9]([-/ ])[a-z]\...
