• .NET Development .NET Framework - hotfix. Can I discard the original Framework?

  I don't know where else to post this, but I just received an automated update hotfix for my .Net Framework that is 1,114 megs...this is in addition to the original .Net Framework that is also 1,114 megs. That's taking up too much of my disk space. I'd like to remove one of them if I can, but I don't know anything about the pros and the cons. Can I just remove the original and use the hotfix in it's place Thanks, Paul The update was pushed to you via Windows Update because it was rated as an Important security update.  In general you don't want to disable accepting updates since it will leave your system vulnerable to attacks ...Show All

• Visual J# Microsoft Java++, Sun Java, Redhat Java

  I need to develope in Microsoft Java++. Can I port to SUN Unix, RedHat Linux, SCO Unix. If it is possible to port, will the application run the same in all the platfoms. Can anyone please give me advice Although I am not a Microsoft employee, I can tell you this: Microsoft J++ and J# are NOT Java.  They have similar syntax, and allow you to use some of the java core system libraries ( for instance in J# and I believe in J++ as well, you can use java.util.Hashtable etc.) You will need to check, but I think that these libraries that are provided in J# and J++ are compatible with Java 1.1.2 or something around that.   T ...Show All

When I create the GUI resource file for the property page, there is only standard listbox availble in the Toolbox.
