Clear a databound datagridview
If you have bound a datagridview to a datasource, you need to clear the datasource before attempting to remove all the rows.
dgvFunds.DataSource = Nothing
dgvFunds.Rows.Clear()
The Night Stalker
The first third of this book is pretty horrific. The trial section bogs down, which would seem to reflect the actual event.
The Financier
It wasn’t interesting, but it wasn’t dull. Didn’t really care much about any of the characters, but still finished the book.

Gas City
Too many characters, half of which are dull and pointless. Easy to skim.
Poodle Springs
Parker finished what Chandler started. Shoo-fly to the max.
The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
Disturbing life well told by Carlo. Might want to re-consider flipping people off.
Black Sand
Overly complicated, but the story moves along.
The Big Necessity
The first 100 pages are interesting, but then it bogs down
The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters
Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
There can’t be many authors who grew up next to their eventual subject. No one comes out looking good in this book.
Blood Stone
Second in the Lomax series. Not bad.
When I was a Young Man
Last 1/3 of this book is the best.
Death on the Rocks
Not bad for a first effort.
The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition
The first third of this collection was enjoyable, but it gradually bogged down and I had to give up. Like most short story collections, the one’s you wish were longer are too short and the one’s you wish were shorter are too long.

The Broken Seal
First half is interesting, but bogs down after that.
The Broken Seal: The Story of Operation Magic and the Pearl Harbor Disaster.
Check for null date value
I have a class with a property of type date. Since this is a value type, it can’t be set to null.
If the date value is not set, it is initialized with the smallest date possible: #12:00:00 AM#, which will always return false if you use isNothing.
Instead, compare the date to DateTime.MinValue
If clsDate.dateEquals = DateTime.MinValue Then
Dark Harbor
Lawyer as sleuth can get a bit tedious, but this one is ok.
Confessions of a Subprime Lender: An Insider’s Tale of Greed, Fraud, and Ignorance
I was prepared for a mea culpa, but found a lot of interesting material. It’s not over yet.
Confessions of a Subprime Lender: An Insider’s Tale of Greed, Fraud, and Ignorance
A Wolf At The Table
Author has a good franchise going. Seems to spill over into fiction at times.
