When this happens, .nextOrFirst() will automatically select the first element from within the same parent (essentially treating the first element as "next").]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/999/jquery-nextorfirst-function-guarantees-a-selection/feed/ 2 http://www.mattvanandel.com/958/jquery-make-vimeo-embeds-iphone-friendly-automagically/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/958/jquery-make-vimeo-embeds-iphone-friendly-automagically/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:50:43 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=958 http://www.mattvanandel.com/958/jquery-make-vimeo-embeds-iphone-friendly-automagically/feed/ 2 http://www.mattvanandel.com/842/c-sending-an-email-with-an-attachment-via-form/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/842/c-sending-an-email-with-an-attachment-via-form/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:58:31 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=842 http://www.mattvanandel.com/842/c-sending-an-email-with-an-attachment-via-form/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/771/c-sending-an-email/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/771/c-sending-an-email/#comments Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:57:11 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=771 http://www.mattvanandel.com/771/c-sending-an-email/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/74/null-coalescing-operator/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/74/null-coalescing-operator/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:00:27 +0000 Matt http://mattvanandel.com.mytempweb.com/?p=74 Null Coalescing Operator ( ?? ) is to set a default value for a variable in the event the first value you are attempting to assign from is null. Hence, the logic behind the null coalescing operator is this: If this variable is null, use this other value instead. This is handy is because what would otherwise be a multiple-line if/else block is now a single, concise line.]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/74/null-coalescing-operator/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/355/csharp-datetimes-finding-the-last-day-of-a-month/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/355/csharp-datetimes-finding-the-last-day-of-a-month/#comments Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:14:23 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=355 last day of a month is a wee bit more complicated since months tend to have a variable number of days from year to year. Fortunately, there is a relatively simple (if roundabout) way to calculate the last day in a month.]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/355/csharp-datetimes-finding-the-last-day-of-a-month/feed/ 0
