hello

the download code and my own code don't work for the hash table exercise on p 116-9 anybody else had this problem?

Hi

I checked out the code page in the code download (TIO-Hash-Table.aspx) and it seems to work fine. Could you describe the exact error you are getting?

I tested the page for the date '1/1/2005' and it gave the following output:

On this date enjoy the: Belevederes

If you are pasting the code into a new file, make sure you switch to 'All' view in Web Matrix and delete all existing code before pasting.

Hope this helps!


Booze is the answer. I don't remember the question.

There is a bug in the web matrix server that caused this exercise to fail for me.

The web matrix server treats the date notation #1/2/2005# as m/d/y regardless of system settings.

I am from Australia where we use d/m/y date formats. This exercise failed when I used the web matrix server. It worked correctly using IIS.

The problem is that cdate("1/2/2005") is converted according to the system settings, whereas #1/2/2005# is converted as m/d/y regardless of the system settings.

Fix: change all uses of #date# to cdate("date").

Hope this helps
