Sleeping with the enemy [1991]

A great film, fine idea and well played out. A clever woman escaping the clutches of her tyrant husband.

Well worth another watch if it appears on tv.

Vertical label component in c#

Some code for a vertical label in c#

Developed this for a project, but don't need it. Translated it from a Vb.net example on the web, and extended it a little

/// VerticalLabel is a component that displays a label, but instead of the
/// text being horizontal it is displayed vertically.
///
/// This is achieved by drawing using the specified Font and overriding
/// the OnPaint method to draw with the font rotated.
///
/// Windows designer support is also included, the default text and alignment
/// can be set in the designer

Variance calculation in c#

I found this algorithm a little tricky to get right, so I thought I should post it.

It calculates the variance for a set of input data using the formula Excel uses

private double CalculateVariance(double[] input)
{
double sumOfSquares = 0.0;
double total = 0.0;
foreach(double d in input)
{
total+=d;
sumOfSquares += Math.Pow(d, 2);
}
int n = input.Length;
return ((n * sumOfSquares) - Math.Pow(total, 2)) / (n * (n - 1));
}
