The K-Combinator In C#
After browsing through Programmers.StackExchange I found an interesting post on combinators and how they applied to programming projects. It led me to some interesting links, most notably this post by Reg Braithwaite and saw the Ruby implementation of this as #tag and thought, why not recreate it in C#?
Finding the number of columns in a table – SQL Server
It's been a while since my last post and since then I've started a new job. At this new job I have to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 and work with many different database and tables, which I don't think is uncommon among programmers.

Excel And C# – Interop With .Net 4 – How To Read Data From Excel
With the release of .Net 4, Microsoft has made Excel Interop incredibly simple and more intuitive. While this makes using Excel files incredibly easy, it does require that the computer that is running this code has Excel installed (which may be a problem for some people). Here is what you will need to get started:
