Arrange items in a list according to a list of keys

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:53:10 GMT

Recently I needed an algorithm to change the order of elements in an item list of type IList<T>. The items had a unique key. The new order of the items was defined by a second collection which only contained the keys in the new order. Therefore, the algorithm had to move the elements in the IList<T> in such a way that their order matches the order of the key in the key collection

CSS Message Boxes for different message types

Thu, 22 May 2008 17:01:04 GMT

Can you believe this: Few days ago I went to my bank to check my credit score with the Credit Bureau. The bank official typed in my personal data and sent a request. Web application responded by displaying a yellow message box with an exclamation icon saying that data processing is still in progress. He checked several more times, but he didn't notice that at one moment the message changed to "Account available". But the message box hasn't changed. He continued to check a few more times and eventually he realized that the request was successful. I don't know what was in the minds of developers and designers who created this application, but it certainly wasn't the user. This poor bank official was really frustrated. I can't imagine what the rest of the application looks like.
