we have an MFC app where the database interface is ADO.NET. The rest of the
app is unmanaged. We want to interface to another app by using OLE. We have
done this before with other vendors and it works fine. But with the #import

I am working on a service that uploads METAR weather information to the
National Weather Service FTP site. The service I'm authoring is hosted on a
Windows 200 server, and the NWS FTP host is on a Unix server. I'm using the

How does the 64Bit CLR handle .NET Framework 1.1 assemblies in the following
scenario?

I am somewhat confused with Brad Abrahms' Exception Message Guidelines
(http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/archive/2004/01/28/64255.aspx), also published

Hello,
We've got a mixed mode application, which includes MFC/ATL and is written in

I would like to "package" a few files that my program needs into a single
executable, I have successfully added them to my resources. But I would like
to know how I can access the files directly.
So let's say I have a pdf added, is there a way to open the pdf and access

try this (C# syntax for the example)

It's great that the CLR gives us this cool EventLog object for managing
event logs.   And they even give you this cool property "MachineName" to

I'm running the RC version of VS 2005 handed out at the PDC. I'm working on
something where seeing what's going on all the way down the stack would be
very handy. I'm using 2.0.50727 of the CLR, and whenever mscorwks.dll appears
on the stack, I can't see the entries (and ...

I am using the SortedList class to sort an array of items.  I want to bind
the SortedList to a DataGrid, but I want the list to go in descending order.
Is there anyway to change the sort order in SortedList when databinding so
that I can reverse the sort order?

I've been working on having my application create dynamic assemblies
within the current domain of the application and loading them at a
later point inside new domains (so they can be unloaded as necessary)
and I feel I'm almost there thanks to great help from people in the

I wondered if anyone could make sense of this undocumented object
(System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.__TransparentProxy) being returned
from the static method call to System.Appdomain.CreateDomain(...).
Normally (in my mono-assembly testing application),

It is a good practice to set that all assemblies in my company must to have

Thanks in advance
