I need to often be reminded of how to calculate a percentage. The context here is that I want a progress bar in one of my programs. To determine what percent a number is of a total number: (Progress So Far / Total Progress Units) * 100 = % or (Net Amount / Gross Amount) * 100 = % eg. (12 steps / 30 steps) * 100 = 40% i...

Realised that this was actually specified in the report. Here's a quick note on how to set Dates and Times used in parameter fields to...

A ternary operator for those who are unfamiliar with this is an "If...Then...Else..." statement written in a small amount of code, usually on one line, and exists in most programming languages. For Example, the statement: If (ThisCondition...
Thought I'd put something here as a lot of my clients and friends are all surprised by the Aero features and weren't aware that these existed in Windows Vista (and originally from Linux variants). Sometimes you may only have partial Aero effects. This can be because Windows may not think your machine is powerful enough...
Working principle
This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
