Re: reversion of edit to Comparison of C Sharp and Java

The statement that I added - and that you removed -

The import statement of Java and the using statement of C# are similar in allowing access to a package or namespace respectively, but differ in syntax so that a particular class can be imported, but only an entire namespace can be used.

identified a significant difference between import and using. The fact that a namespace is completely imported and this provides less control for programmers is more than just a minor syntactic difference and I think this needs to be mentioned somewhere on the page. derrick 03:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. My interpretation of your addition was that there was a syntax difference in how namespaces/packages are imported (with or without .*). But you're right, there's more to it than that. It is actually possible though to import single classes in C# (although this not used very often):

using Console = System.Console; // Import only 'Console'

using IntList = System.Collections.Generic.List<int>; // Import a specific instantiation

So perhaps this is deserving of a new section, together with Java's static imports and C#'s extension methods. - Chip Zero 09:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

P/Invoke

Hello. I saw that you've made several contributions to C#/.NET/CLR-related pages, and I was wondering if you could provide some constructive criticism, additions, modifications, etc. to a page I created about blittable types. Thank you in advance for any contributions you may have. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Masojus (talk • contribs) 01:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

Hi Masojus. I actually noticed the page when you linked it on the P/Invoke page, which is on my watchlist. I must say it already looks pretty mature, especially with the links sections. Perhaps it could use footnote references though, instead of the current 'references' section. Any unreferenced sources can then be listed in the 'external links' section. Anyway, I'll try to have a closer look at it when I have some more time. – Chip Zero 14:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Fly mode

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Fly mode, by Closedmouth (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Fly mode is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Fly mode, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[removed content]

The removed content from previous articles were not comparative in nature, but incomplete observations of deficiency. (was written by an instructor who simply wanted online reference material for students.) As this is a study of Sun Java's implementation of generic programming. this article should be rich in examples and information regarding just this. A separate article comparing a broad variety of generic programming implementations would be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.186.58.43 (talk) 20:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean here... Perhaps I'm missing some context. Maybe you intended to post this on Talk:Generics in Java? – Chip Zero 16:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

You are correct, I'm not sure how this happened? sorry for the confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.186.58.43 (talk) 18:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

C# varargs

Why did you remove my example and text? That was quite rude. It was added for a reason you know. Everyone knows that C# can do the ugly Java style objects but what is more interesting is the case where C# can have varargs of just one type. In that case you don't need ugly casts. It's really pointless showing the same example in java and c# since they are so much alike. It's like writing c# with only the c subset and then saying that is c#. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.243.62.134 (talk) 14:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry, I didn't get what you were going for. I agree that the duplicate examples are pretty bit pointless in that article. When I wrote the original version of the C# and Java section, I included just the Java example... Someone simply duplicated it; it would indeed be nice to have a slightly different example in C#. Still, in Java you can use varargs with any type of object, just like in C#. Other than the syntax, and perhaps the generic type system, the features are exactly the same in the two languages. In my example I used 'Object...' because that way it could show off autoboxing as well. If you write the same example in C# without using autoboxing, it may give someone the impression you can't do that (i.e., pass integers and strings) in C#... But if you have another idea for a C# example, like one that doesn't print strings to the screen, go ahead! – Chip Zero 18:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Kirsten Bell

I don't know who prints my local newspaper's weekly TV section, but they should be ashamed. I see you already considered this possibility.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
