    Six Ways to Attract a Crowd at a Trade Show
    Tom Hanks, Justin Timberlake, and Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Steve Young were among the many celebrities participating in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in early January 2006. The show floor was 28 football field’s worth of space with 2,500 trade show exhibitors vying for attention in 1.6 billion square feet of convention exhibits.More and more trade show exhibitors are finding that a great way to get noticed is to introduce an element of show business into their trade show display appearance.

    Is It Worth Paying a Professional Copywriter?
    "Article writers wanted: I will pay $3.50 per article. Must be quality writing – no hobbyists!"No, this isn't a joke. It's an actual job advert, posted on a website earlier this year. What’s more, there's nothing particularly unusual about this advert. It seems that more and more often these days, people expect writers to work for free – or as close to free as it's possible to get.So what's the catch? Well, professional copywriters won't write for $3.50, which means that the only people who'll respond to an advert like this will be very peopl
    In my first three articles about Visual C# Express, I wrote in fairly general terms about how to build modern C# programs, using the example of the InterestCalculator program. In this article I would like to talk about the very specific problem of converting user input from textual information to numeric information.

    TextBox Accepts only Strings

    There are four user input text boxes in the CompoundGrowth form of the InterestCalculator program, and all of them APPEAR to accept numeric; but in fact they do not. They all accept strings, for one simple reason. Strings are the only data accepted by the .net TextBox control. In fact the only way to read the contents of the TextBox control is via the "Text" property, which returns a string.

    Parse Function to the Rescue

    Since the Textbox control accepts only strings, the programmer is stuck with the problem of converting from a C# string type to a C# numeric type. There are in fact several methods for doing this using the .net class library, but in this article I will show you how to do it using the Parse function.

    Bad Credit Scores No Longer a Deterrent in The Loan Market
    Whenever a lender looks at your loan application, credit score is his first concern. No body will be ready to give you money without an assurance that you'll repay the amount. And credit score is the primary indicator of your creditworthiness, DTI and personal circumstances being the secondary ones. Most credit reference agencies use FISCO scores to produced by a software developed by Fair, Issac and Company.Often, the rate of interest charged by the lender is inversely proportional to the credit score of the borrower. The FISCO scores range on a sc

    Get Your Life Back With a Good Debt Consolidation Program
    There are a large number of people who are under the stress of enormous debt, which is magnified by the pressure from collection agencies and the firms with which they have their debt. If you are one of these people, there are options that can help to relieve both the financial strain and emotional stress of your debt problems. The most popular and perhaps the best of these options is a good debt consolidation program. A solid and reputable debt consolidation program can help you eliminate past interest and penalties, consolidate your credit card bills, an

    Affiliate Marketing With Or Without Money
    The greatest part about affiliate marketing is the small amount of money you need to make money with affiliate programming. For the most part most affiliate programs are free or very low cost. If you want to run them on a website then there may be some low costs incurred for web hosting. My personal favourite instead of paying for websites are to use blogs. You can have a free blog up and running in an hour and then all that’s left to do is choose the affiliate program you want to join.Over the next few months I will be submitting several articl

    Lean Manufacturing: Preparing Employees for The Organizational Change
    Any multi-department organization such as companies find it hard to adjust to any organizational change or any program that involves any form of behavioral intervention. This behavior of skepticism, distrust and resistance to adapt to new methods is collective and finds its roots in individual units and, ultimately, to individual employees. Changes in established work procedures and job routines usually cause tension between management and employees. These tensions more often than not, result to great company loss and puts the entire organization at a d
    doing this using the .net class library, but in this article I will show you how to do it using the Parse function.

    Nearly every numeric data type has a Parse function which operates on a string and converts it to a numeric data type. For example, the code to convert from a string to a double would look something like the following:

    // Convert string in txtPrincipal TextBox to a double precision number mPrincipal= Double.Parse( txtPrincipal.Text);

    That's all there is to it . . . except for one small problem. What happens when if someone types something like "1A3Y" into the txtPrincipal TextBox? Now we have a problem.

    Recovering from Erroneous Inputs

    It would easy to design forms if people always hit the right buttons and always entered the correct data. The challenge of designing and coding forms is to give them reasonable error recovery scenarios.

    The .net class library supports a solution to the problem detecting and handling erroneous input. In addition to the Parse function there is a TryParse function associated with each numeric data type. The TryParse function does just what you would think, it tries to parse a text string and returns boolean true if
