  We have a rather large ERP system in .NET that we are writing.  After considerable performance tuning, we have our main forms loading in 4 to 5 seconds on first load and and .5 seconds on second load.  Obviously we are taking a big hit on the jit compiling and began looking at the new 2.0 ngen to see if that will increase performance.  Ok, here is our problem.  After adding clickonce to our application we learn that you can ...Show All

• Windows Forms Oh, the magic that the Tab key does (focus)

• Software Development for Windows Vista Running Domain Logon Script as Elevated

  We make extensive use of domain logon scripts for many interesting and uninteresting purposes. Unfortunately some of the simplest, most innocuous, programs executed seem to require privilege elevation in Vista.

Does anyone know of a way to get a trusted domain logon script (and anything launched by it) to auto ...Show All

Lots of things will be happening meanwhile, syncs and comms with server, forms popping-up, and timers firing. My question is, what of the following approaches is the best one: 1. A c ...Show All
