@How to comment on blog
Leaving a comment is pretty straightforward but if you’d like to leave a code sample the plug-in requires a couple tricks. Questions are welcome too, but I can’t promise to answer them all and the forums are the best place to post them. You must enter the comment in native XHTML with a <pre lang=”language”>code</pre>. Language codes are: sql, plsql, php, c, java, et cetera.
If you put links in the comment, it typically gets cast to the spam filter and deleted because I don’t have time to sort them out.

Somebody inquired about writing for the site. I didn’t anticipate that beyond the idea of comments and dialog through comments.
When I update and move TechTinker.com, it will open some part of the site to community contribution.

What are ” flinkeunctions”. On your blog about getters and setters, you say “getters are flinkeunctions” I know you meant functions, but most word processors wouldn’t allow that word. Perhaps a copywriter would help before you publish things. I appreciate all you have done, but your textbook has more misspelled words and typos than any textbook I have ever seen. If you need a good copywriter to help you, I am available.

Robert, I found that typo in the blog. It’s fixed. As to the book, most of those occur during what’s called proof editing. They’re often introduced by macros that help format the text. Then, they’re missed in proof edit because you only have two-three days to turn around multiple chapters. I try to keep an errata on the books to help with those. Thanks.

You have to install the Connector NET 8.0 libraries, which aren’t installed by default. Alternatively, use the following setup that’s a bit easier. Define a Windows DSN (Data Service Name):
You can find a complete code example here.
