• Visual Studio Team System Working with Frames

  We have a website that requires a login and, based on users roles, displays anywhere from 3 to 10 frames.

I believe that I can determine what frames are authorized for this user by looking at the response from ...Show All

• .NET Development Why does the 64Bit section exsist?

  As I understand the .Net framework there shouldn't be any issues for any code compiled in MSIL runing on a 64Bit system. So why does this section of the forum exist Other code than can fail if executed on a different platform, is code that assumes the IntPtr type is a particular size. It is 4 bytes on 32-bit Windows but 8 bytes on 64-bit Windows. I imagine that this could also be an issue for serialization ...Show All
