• Visual J# 64 bit integer support

  Lets say you have a function which accepts a 64 bit unsigned int. In my case this function was written in C++/CLI as a part of a managed wrapper. I am having problems though.

The application will need to have a GUI where the user can switch between views (one view visible at a time, not MDI). An idea is to have a main Form containing a menu or navigation control (perhaps like the Outlook-field) and display different views in a cont ...Show All

• .NET Development Using Cache in a Windows Service

Just add a reference to System.Web in your project. Then you can access the Cache as System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache Despite the name of the class (HttpRuntime, which seems to imply it's specific to the HTTP protocol), the Cac ...Show All

• SQL Server influence the length of sub-tokens indexed in fuzzy look-up
