Free Windows Vista Business Available for Download from Microsoft

submitted by salim 9 months, 1 day ago

news.softpedia.com — Yes, Microsoft is delivering Windows Vista Business as a free download. There has to be a catch to it, right? Well, not really, users can simply download the Business SKU of Windows Vista and test drive the operating system without dropping a single cent. And, to sweeten the deal, Microsoft has also thrown a little extra on top of Vista Business, namely Visual Studio 2008. The next generation of VS development resources, Visual Studio 2008, scheduled for availability on February 28, 2008, is tailored on Vista and the Office 2007 System read more...

Using Partial Methods

submitted by salim 9 months, 5 days ago

devsource.com — Partial classes permit developers, including Microsoft developers, to split classes between multiple files. This works out pretty good because it lets Microsoft hide some plumbing, for example, for the Windows Forms designer. Partial classes also makes it possible for programmers that consume generated code to write the custom part in a separate location, in case the generated part needs to be re-generated. So there are definite read more...

Yet Another Service Wrapper - The Ultimate Service

submitted by salim 1 year, 2 months ago

eggheadcafe.com — I recently had a requirement to wrap executables and libraries so they would run as a service. My specific requirements were the following, in this context a task is defined as any method set to run within the service. Allows for impersonation so each code set can run under a different user account. Has the ability to run multiple separate tasks under a single instance of the service. Each task must run under a separate thread to allow multiple threads of the same task to be running concurrently. Supports two types of tasks, polling (fired after a short interval) and scheduled (fired once per day at a fixed time). Tasks are specified in a configuration file. Must support class creation and method parameters. This includes support for arrays as parameters. Must support static and instance methods. Must support executing methods in executables as well as libraries with minimal to no change to existing code. Each task must be able to use its own configuration file. Changes to a task's files will cause the task to reload. After searching the web for such a wrapper I could not find one that would satisfy all of these requirements. I did find many examples of service wrappers but while each had various pieces of the functionality I needed none had all the requirements. The biggest drawback I found in previous design was forcing the user to use an interface. Unfortunately I could not use this pattern due to the requirement of minimizing any changes to existing code. What I needed was a service that could execute any arbitrary code. read more...
