Has anyone heard of this technology? Can someone tell me if it is available for download. - Thanks Chaim Nussbaum MCSD, Oracle DBA

Than why do Java developers always talk about OS independance. This feature is almost worthless in a server enviroment.

I listened to the show at http://www.oracle.com/ebusinessnetwork/archive/radio\_oracle.html This is the review I wrote: Choosing J2EE vs. .NET is not about features or technology. It is a choice between vendors. SUN believes that an OS agnostic language will solve all the standards problems in the tech industry. Yes - they have solved the portability issues that plagued the C/C++ programming languages, yet JAVA brings little innovation and itself is borrowed from C/C++/Smalltalk. Simply building a new class library for C++ would have served the same purpose. On the other hand, Microsoft believes that being OS independent provides no value to the developer or customer. They believe that the customer should choose an OS for its features. Using a language like JAVA to program Windows means losing out on many of the features of the OS. In reality JAVA is a standard OS API supported by every OS thru a JVM. Using a JVM renders the OS meaningless; JAVA standards are based on features that are present in every OS, not just one single OS, so why do we have operating systems in the first place? Don’t let SUN fool you. JAVA will not change anything. If JAVA succeeds in becoming the language of choice for most programmers, SUN will effectively become the next Microsoft. SUN = WANNABE(Microsoft)

Hi CodeProject, Does anyone know if there is a Windows CE client for Terminal Server? Thanks

Israel is just a scapegoat for these terrorists. It makes no sense that a peice of land 0.001% the size of all the Arab states is a cause of such problems. Palestinians are in no way innocent victims. They have commited countless acts of terror. They train their own children to use weapons and kill. They beleive that killing other people will get them a free pass to heaven. That is terrorism!

I think you'll enjoy this one: http://alicebot.org/alicechat.html This chatbot is quite good at making conversations, unlike other bots, A.L.I.C.E. is not a knowledge base, it was built to converse like humans do. Sometimes it purposely make mistakes, just to seem human. This technology has been adopted to work with ICQ and other chat systems. So when you chat on the web, you may very well be chatting with chatbot!

Hi CodeProject, I have created a form with a datagrid, my requirement is that when the user clicks "F5" I want to update a certain column with the current time. I defined a DataGridTableStyle and a DataGridTextBoxColumn object. I attached an event handler to the DataGridTextBoxColumn.TextBox.KeyUp property. So now when I hit "F5" the column is updated, but alas, as soon as I navigate to a different line, the row disappears! Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Maybe someone has an different way of doing this? Anyways, this is my code for the KeyUp event: private void dataGridColumn1_TextBox_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs kea) { if (kea.KeyCode == Keys.F5) { DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)dataGrid1.BindingContext [dataGrid1.DataSource].Current; drv["Col1"] = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(); } } Thanks

Check out www.xmethods.com Has some nice web services. Though I admit that some of the services they provide are not useful to most apps, I can see how an "area code lookup" or "fedex package tracker" can be a useful feature for some apps.

I'm still happy to hear that Microsoft has listened to developers and is contemplating supporting generics in a future release :-D Regardless if .NET and C# support generics or MI or not, I beleive that .NET represents a signifigant step forward. I have been programming apps in C# for a year now and I have been amazed at the little effort it takes to build a solid application with .NET. Let's focus on the bottom line here: Will .NET make it easier for developers to create great applications? The answer in my opinion is yes.;)

It seemed there was a time when Microsoft was moving toward template programming. Technologies like WTL, ATL and STL were great alternatives to MFC and other libraries. But now with the advent of .NET, these options are gone. Even MI (Multiple Inheritance) is not supported by the CLR. Generics might just be the competitive advantage Microsoft needs to step over Java.

.NET provides a DataGrid object that can be used to format data for WinForm applications. Unfourtunately it only supports 2 column type: TextBox and CheckBox. I'd like to include the ComboBox, Button and Image controls. All I need to do is create a new class that inherits from DataGridColumnStyle. But this is not documented and seems to be a bit complicated. Does anyone have experience with this sort of requirement?

James, I just completed my MCSD on Friday. My suggestion to you would be to check out the Transcender prep exams (http://www.transcender.com). I purchased 3 exams from them, and each one was extremely helpful. I studied for my last exam Analyzing Requirements (070-100), without any books, and passed nicely using the Transcender exam only. I found that not only did the Transcender exams have the same feel as MS's exams, but the question were 3-5 times harder. Thank God for Transcender! ;P Chaim Nussbaum, MCSD Chaim.Nussbaum@Marconi.com

The .NET framework comes with sample implementation of a LISP compiler. If you have .NET istalled, it is zipped in c:\program files\microsoft.net\frameworksdk\tool developer guide\samples\samples.exe just extract it, and you will find a folder called \clisp Chaim J Nussbaum, MCP

There will be a runtime (CLR), and it will be compatible with any Win32 platform. A coleague of mine told me he had it running on Win98.

I am about to take the 70-100 exam (Analyzing Requirements), but all the books on this topic have gotten very bad reviews. Can someone who's taken the exam suggest what written material I should read? I appreciate it :) Chaim Nussbaum, MCP QA Programmer Marconi Commerce Systems
