A little bit different approach: You can connect to Oracle from SQL Server and vice versa. After that you can for example define a view that actually hides where the data is coming from, so basically your application can connect to a single database and still get data from multiple databases but the application does not see it. In some cases this is easier to implement. The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

Actually i want to embedd custom fonts in the app and use them on the clients machine i.e without installing the fonts on their machines. I use a class that create a bin file from the font file.

You get what you pay for, even though Bose is usually considered a little overpriced by audiophiles (they are still good). I got a Sennheiser HD595 a few years ago and later a good DAC (digital/analogue converter) to go with it, and I can honestly say it's one of the most worthwhile electronics purchases I have ever made.

Question: A curiosity, doubt, or statement inquiring about something. Did you forget something?

It seems not, and rightly so, the RegEx shouldn't return any characters that weren't in the original string. But, yeah, it would be handy in certain cases.

You can use regex, or iterate over the chars and use things like char.IsDigit. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

I cringe to think of how you're planning to use this knowledge - I'll assume it's something IRC (or some other equally lame instant chat tech) related :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Those are only the predefined encodings. You can create an encoding for any code page that the system supports using the Encoding.GetEncoding method. Check the documentation for the Encoding class for all the available encodings. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;
