  I do embedded systems at times and i would like to utilize the power of the XP core without the overhead of the GUI on the actually embedded system. I would like to turn off the GUI comletely.

You will probably find the Windows CE API has most of the Windows API you need, you will find embedded XP easier then you might ...Show All

• .NET Development Understanding the role of form="unqualified"

  I roundly dislike the prefixing of attributes in XML files that won't go outside my application. (They are so thoroughly encrypted they won't do other much good:-)) And I much prefer to store info as attributes rathr than elements when I can get away with it. So I have discovered the value of setting form="unqualified" in the schema. The question is "where should I be doing this." If I get things exactly right I can hav ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to keep an activity still in Excuting state once it is recovered from it's internal operation error?
