Yes it is, Coors is watered down beer :)

Are you sure insanity wasn't part of the transport requirements? *Thinks of the person's lineage who created Blinky Bill* :laugh:

If you use an out of process state server or SQL to store the state you are find going across physical server boundaries. The web servers will share the same state store and you won't have a problem.

I ran into this problem working with C# based queued components. Datasets are serializable, they support ISerializable however alot of things with COM+ (especially with Queued Components) is that they need the components to support IPersist. They have no idea how to serialize using the ISerializable interface therefore you either go the route of dataset--> XML, XML--> dataset or implement IPersist within your component.

I just got one 2 days ago. 1920 x 1600 resolution - had to play with the fonts but talk about real estate! I'm still undecided on the flex keyboard though, feels kinda flimsy. Jarrod

It's normal. When you redirect inside a try block it has to abort the thread the request is currently running on to move on to the next page. Jarrod Marshall

Try Marshal.ReleaseComObject()

"but I do believe there is one form of religion which is Bible Christianity. It involves more than belief, it involves experience. " Amen!

I haven't read either but if I had to go by author alone I would go with anything by Troelson.

I agree with it all except for the cooking part being approached with wreckless abandon. *sits back and remembers the 3 ft. flame coming off of his stove* My neighbors probably got a kick out of watching the only single man in the neighborhood standing in his back yard with a flaming frying pan.:laugh: Jarrod Marshall Author:Beginning Site Server 3.0 Professional Commerce Server 2000

I think the crowd here is a small subset of opinion. Outside of the programming world I do not know of a single person who does not support bush. More people are willing to give up some civil liberties to make sure the country is safer. I think people understand things have changed in some way. I disagree with the Hitler comments whole heartedly. Take away my rights to carry a weapon, take away that I can complain here about the democrats or the republicans and then I'll consider the comparison. However, in my opinion it's the democrats that seem more "tyranical". They want to tell us how to raise our children (providing birth control, etc in schools because we don't know enough to give it to them ourselves), who we can have memorials to (controversy in the south about a civil war memorial for confederate soldiers), which doctors we see, etc. Sorry, soap box. I know many disagree- that's wonderful. That's why this is a free country.

Merry Christmas from me as well! I have just started spending more time here and enjoy everything. Stay safe everyone! Jarrod Marshall Beginning Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition Professional Commerce Server 2000 (Wrox Press)

I have a wonderful old Frank Sinatra Christmas album on vinyl that I need to replace with a CD soon. One of my favorites.

I was 10 years old, lived in the middle of no where Alabama :) My parents bought a Commodore 64 that year and instead of playing games I started learning how to write programs out of reading magazines.

I disagree with your comparison of MS to JP Morgan. Yes, Windows is a great way to distribute software since it holds so much market share. However, in the case of JP Morgan there many companies were faced with no other means of transportation of their products. From production to consumer, they were forced to use the rail ways to distribute nationally. How does this differ from today? Distribution of software like the SUN JVM can travel the 21st century railway - the internet. Windows isn't the railway, it's a locomotive. If Windows was the only way to obtain software I would gladly agree with you but it's not. If you are going to sell and distribute java software, license the jvm and install it with your product (and pay SUN's royalties for even selling a java based package). If you want to make sure they have it - provide a link to download it. It's available, Microsoft hasn't taken over the internet so that all traffic to SUN gets rerouted to Microsoft. If you want it, you can get it. If you don't know you need it and expect it to be there - that's the responsibility of the software developers/distributors to make sure you have it. No, not in a general sense of it MUST be included in windows but with the setup packages available today, just include it as part of your setup. I can think of no more wide reaching distribution channel than the internet. Jarrod Marshall Author: Beginning Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition, Professional Commerce Server 2000 (Wrox Press)

I feel so honored! :-O

Java is a viable language, not my favorite but I know it's viable. My problem with it is not the language but what revolves around it. You have SUN - whiners extraordinare and then it seems every one that jumps on the anti-Microsoft band wagon goes 100% java and 100% linux. Microsoft hatred is not a professional decision - it's a cultural decision, a way of life.

This whole thing with the specific lawsuit bugs me really bad. Microsoft was worried SUN would try to file an injunction so that they would have to delay the shipment of Win XP. So MS decided not to include the java JVM in their XP. SUN, sitting back thinking it had won from the last lawsuit they had about java all of a sudden gets scared and starts whining. WAIT! You really should ship java, it's your obligation for hurting our business and trying to hijack java so it really needs to go in. MS: Nope, sorry, not shipping Java JVM. SUN: PLEASE? MS: NO SUN: OK, we'll sue you again! at a later time... MS puts their version of the JVM back in to make java people happy. SUN: It's not our JVM! MS: So, we are shipping a java JVM like you asked. SUN: We'll sue!! Maybe I'm wrong but who's product is Windows? Microsoft's right? Shouldn't they have a choice as to whether or not to include a competitors "middleware" product in their own? I don't hear Ford threatening Chevy to put the Mustang Cobra engine in the Corvette or face court time. I do not approve of gross monopolistic antitrust practices but I'm tired of knowing tax dollars we pay are going to help pay for SUN's inept ability to compete in some areas. Jarrod

There is a book called C# Design Patterns - A Tutorial that I have found really good. It basically goes through the GoF patterns using C# examples. Jarrod

So each time I call a method for the first time on one of these classes newly instantiated by reflection it will JIT? Jarrod
