I have a string representing a date time, and a datetime local variable property. The string representing the datetime could be null or an empty string. To check for this, I thought I could check for a null or whitespace value and assign the appropriate value using this code: ReturnValue.ArrivalDate …

Forgive me, but I've only really used WinForms in the past, and MVVM and WPF are new to me. For those who use MVVM with WPF, do you actually make separate directories (namespaces) for your Models, Views and ViewModels files or is it more of an abstract idea? I fundamentally …

I would like to see a forum dedicated to UX/UI design. I know that a good application or website performs its job exceptionally well and the look and feel of the application doesn't affect, or shouldn't affect it's performance. But come on! It does. UX/UI design is more than just …

I'd like to suggest a forum category for Azure development. Many of the concepts are covered by the topics here, but some are not, such as Azure SQL Database, Virtual Machines and Virtual Networks, Cloud Services, etc... I know that some of those (VMs and VNs notibly) aren't really directly …

I'd like to propose that DaniWeb adds a new category of forums for Cloud development. The Software and Web Development might apply, but with the cloud being so versatile, you could technically do either Software or Web work on it. Just throwing that out there :)

Out of curiosity, when you start a new solution and you add your first project to it, if it's a window's form application, you get a nice and neat form called "Form1" (how creative!). Do you rename that file? If so, what do you name it? If not, why? ![2f9411f0a0998da1589835c36807a955](/attachments/small/2/2f9411f0a0998da1589835c36807a955.PNG …
