I would find the article interesting. I was looking at this kind of thing about 1.5 years ago, but with no time, I bought third party. I am especially interested in cross-browser support aspects, even though you haven't finished that part completely. What were the most difficult cross-browser compromises...stuff like that.

Yes, please! :-D

That about sums it up here, too. There's lot's of technical info presented at a rapid-fire pace that is impossible to absorb, as well, along with a ton of hype about features that aren't quite done yet. The most important things (aside from the really good food) fall into two classes: The very lovely young women who actually know the products and technology - unlike the hired cheesecake at Comdex - and the freebies they hand out. I got my first copy of Win2K about a year and a half before it was released, and so had a chance to play with it long before I had to deal with it professionally. That alone was priceless, as buying even a pre-release copy would have been completely out of my range. If only I could find one that offers a free MSDN Universal subscription to attendees...

If you look at it[^], no smilarity with the "real" Workspaces. Heck, Git wasn't even invented back then :D Damn. I wanted to reply to the Thread[^] which brought me here :doh: The console is a black place

That's right. :) I found the answer in the .Net SDK. But there is one requirement - both threads must be in the STA apartment, otherwise the function call on the interface will fail. 43 68 65 65 72 73 2c 4d 69 63 68 61 65 6c

I'll appreciate it. :) Thanks

Correct; unfortunately MS didn't document this topic very well. The XmlSerializer doesn't use any of the other serialization stuff, no Serializable attribute nor ISerializable; I think its a shame myself. The XmlSerializer works by using the reflection.emit classes to construct a class that will place all the public fields/property's in an XML document; when it deserializes it tries to access the nodes in the document as the field/property name to place the value back in. When it does this it creates an instance of the object using the default constructor. It DOES let you control some functionality by using Attributes and the OverrideAttributes class; but I don't like that solution very well. James

Thanks Michael. I never thought they'd call the ball used to play golf, a golf ball. That's too obvious. Nish :-) Regards, Nish Native CPian. Born and brought up on CP. With the CP blood in him.

Totally unfair, Michael! But what can you expect? Keep in mind, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." Those who can't teach, teach teachers.
