According to this blog post by Soma , WinFX is now going to be named .NET 3.0. Now on one hand this makes sense. There's no doubt that WinFX introduces major functionality to .NET. Windows Presentation Foundation is the effective successor to Windows Forms after all - how much more major can you get?? On the other hand, the new .NET 3.0 doesn't break any .NET 2.0 code, and yet it "includes" .NET 2.0. All .NET 3.0 does is add new stuff. Typically, when I think ... [ read more ]
I've seen three posts in the past week or so about this subject and thought I would post up my quick code sample for achieving the above.  The basic principal for hittesting on a non-rectangular shape, e.g. polygon, is to represent your shape within a graphicspath, then create a new Region based upon that GraphicsPath and invoke the 'IsVisible' property of the region, passing through the X and Y co-ordinates.

It's been extremely fun though :) I thought I'd share what I've come up with as our solution for keeping the client and serve ... [ read more ]
Unfortunately I can’t make it to TechEd this year, but a fair number of folks from my team are going.   If you get a chance please go check out these sessions!   I bolded the sessions given by folks directly on my team, so if you make it to any of those sessions, please drop me a line and let me know how the presenter did... I told them I’d have spies watching for me ;-)       Smart Client Breakouts:   Cod ... [ read more ]
In this article, Mike Pearson explains why it is so simple to reverse engineer .Net apps. He reviews some of the means available today for protecting such applications from being tampered. At the heart of the discussion Mike talks about code obfuscation and code encryption illustrating the potential weaknesses one should be aware of when using them to protect its apps.     Editor's Note:   This article was written by Mike Pearson of Secureteam, ...
