Windows Forms Caching in Windows Forms
I am looking to build an N-tier application portable to both Windows and ASP.NET, but need to come up with a caching strategy for the data. I'm considering either a caching provider, or a provider to deliver the components that need to be cached (so we can integrate caching into its code), but before I make a decision on the direction, I am wondering if Windows has a caching engine similar to that of System.Web.Caching. Any ideas I didn't discover till recently that the System.Web... cache works for Windows! Seems a little counter-intuitive with the namespace, but that's a workable answer! Thanks, guys. ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System VSTS Speed
So far I have been very disappointed with the speed of VSTS. Whenever I run projects locally everything is fairly smooth. However, once I connect to Team Foundation and check something in the entire app seems to do nothing for long periods of time. I checked the CPU, Memory, and Network on the client the App/Data PC. They all look like they are doing nothing. If I wait for an hour... suddenly everything checks in. I can believe this is normal. Any Idea how I can track this down Thanks, Nate At this point, I'd recommend waiting for the September release of beta 3 ...Show All

Take note that this interface should be compatable with Windows and Linux plateform ...Show All
