Articles : Hibernate and NHibernate 2007-07-24 08:04:00 Hibernate is an ORM [Object-Relational Mapping] service used to develop persistent Java classes. On the back of NHibernate, it’s popularity has spread to the .NET space as well. This has proved of special interest in IT shops that are working toward interoperability strategies that leverage the skills of developers who can handle both .NET and Java problems.
NHibernate is a port of Hibernate Core for Java to the .NET Framework. It handles persisting plain .NET objects to and from an underlying relational database. Given an XML description of your entities and relationships, NHibernate automatically generates SQL for loading and storing the objects. Optionally, you can describe your mapping metadata with attributes in your source code.
NHibernate supports transparent persistence, your object classes don’t have to follow a restrictive programming model. Persistent classes do not need to implement any interface or inherit from a special base class. This makes it possible to d Read more:Articles

Articles : .NET Dashboard Suite 3.0 2007-07-24 08:03:00 Perpetuum Software LLC has released version 3.0 of .NET DashboardSuite
for Windows Forms apps in the field of information acquisition and comprehension. With .NET Dashboard Suite, users have a pack of fully compatible components for general and specific data visualization. One of the main benefits of the dashboards is the ability to display data in various forms.
.NET Dashboard Suite provides a complete set of data visualization tools: high-resolution ready-made gauges, charts, graphs, diagrams and much more.
It allows the creation of non-standard controls based on existing ones, or even designing from scratch, through improved designer; some properties are available not only in the property grid but also from the designer toolbar.
The unique architecture of the product makes possible the ability to combine objects arbitrarily, allowing the creation of control configurations that are difficult or impossible to build using other approaches. You can create even the most complicated d Read more:Articles
Why to use Interfaces Whenever Possible in C# 2007-07-24 08:02:00 The .NET Framework contains both classes and interfaces. When you write routines, you will find that you probably know which .NET class you’re using. However, your code will be more robust and more reusable if you program using any supported interfaces instead of the class you happen to be working with at the time. Consider this code:
private void LoadList (object [] items, ListBox l) {for (int i = 0; i l.Items.Add (items[i].ToString ());}
This function loads a ListBox from an array of any kind of objects. The code is limited to an array only. Suppose that later you find that objects are stored in a database, or in some other collection. You need to modify the routine to use the different collection type. However, had you written the routine using the ICollection interface, it would work on any type that implements the ICollection interface:
private void LoadList (ICollection items, ListBox l) {foreach (object o in items)l.Items.Add (o.ToString ());}
The ICollection interface is Read more:Interfaces

C# : foreach loop much faster than normal for loop 2007-07-24 07:59:00 Using a foreach loop will be substantially faster than a for loop when accessing the items in a RichTextBox’s Lines property. For example, the following code loads a RichTextBox with 1000 lines of text and accesses each line from the Lines property. On a 333 MHz Pentium II machine, the for-loop code (ForLoopButton_Click) takes ~25 seconds and the foreach code (ForEachLoopButton_Click) takes ~0.01 seconds. …private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;StringBuilder Buffer = new StringBuilder(”");for (int i = 1; i {if (i > 1){Buffer.Append(Environment.NewLine);}Buffer.Append(”This is line number ” + i.ToString());}TheRichTextBox.Text = Buffer.ToString();Cursor.Current = Cursors.Arrow;}
private void ForLoopButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;int Len = 0;int Start = Environment.TickCount;for (int i = 0; i {Len += TheRichTextBox.Lines[i].Length;}int ElapsedTime
Windows Forms Interview Question with Answer 2007-07-24 07:51:00 How would you create a non-rectangular window, let’s say an ellipse? Create a rectangular form, set the TransparencyKey property to the same value as BackColor, which will effectively make the background of the form transparent. Then set the FormBorderStyle to FormBorderStyle.None, which will remove the contour and contents of the form. What’s the difference between Windows
DefaultLocation and WindowsDefaultBounds?
WindowsDefaultLocation tells the form to start up at a location selected by OS, but with internally specified size. WindowsDefaultBounds delegates both size and starting position choices to the OS. My progress bar freezes up and dialog window shows blank, when an intensive background process takes over
Yes, you should’ve multi-threaded your GUI, with taskbar and main form being one thread, and the background process being the other.

Assembly In Microsoft.Net 2007-08-05 05:47:00 What is an assembly in .NET Framework?An assembly is the primary building block of a .NET Framework application. It is a collection of functionality that is built, versioned, and deployed as a single implementation unit (as one or more files). All managed types and resources are marked either as accessible only within their implementation unit, or as accessible by code outside that unit.Assemblies are self-describing by means of their manifest, which is an integral part of every assembly. The manifest:
What is assembly manifest?Every assembly, whether static or dynamic, contains a collection of data that describes how the elements in the assembly relate to each other. The assembly manifest contains this assembly metadata. An assembly manifest contains all the metadata needed to specify the assembly’s version requirements and security identity, and all metadata needed to define the scope of the assembly and resolve references to resources and classes.

What’s typical about a Windows process in regards to memory allocation?Each process is allocated its own block of available RAM space, no process can access another process’ code or data. If the process crashes, it dies alone without taking the entire OS or a bunch of other applications down.
Explain what relationship is between a Process, Application Domain, and Application?A process is an instance of a running application. An application is an executable on the hard drive or network. There can be numerous processes launched of the same application (5 copies of Word running), but 1 process can run just 1 application.

6 things you must know before going to Interview 2007-08-19 00:52:35 1. What are your skill sets and how do they apply to the job?
Almost 80 per cent of the candidates cannot identify and/ or describe desirable skills.
A typical question is, “What are your three greatest strengths?” Be ready with answers that include an example or brief experience to illuminate your point. Use specific examples to highlight your accomplishments.
Explicit numbers, results and outcomes give a better description of your accomplishments than subjective statements. You could talk about your action-oriented nature helped the company meet a client-imposed deadline in your last job.
2. Are you a problem solver?
Again, 90 per cent candidates cannot answer ‘problem’ questions.
You should be able to tell the interviewer why they should hire you and what the company will miss out on if they do not hire you. Show your ability to think logically and demonstrate problem-solving capabilities by asking questions and analyzing the information given to you.

Job Interview Tips 2007-08-19 00:45:30 Here are a few interview tips to help you make a great impression on the person who interviews you.
1 . Market your skills and related experience in the field that you are applying for. Be sure to do it in a way that is positive, but not ****y or aggressive.
2 . Research the company before your interview. It’s a great way to know where you would fit into the organization. It also lets the employer know that you really want to be a part of the company.
3 . Prepare answers to common interview questions ahead of time, and practice saying them, so you aren’t stumped during the interview.
4 . Dress for success, in the manner you would dress for the position you’re seeking.
5 . Bring a list of your own questions with you in a folder with the company’s name on it, so that you don’t forget them. You should keep your extra resumes in there too.
6 . Be a good listener and focus. Some job seekers talk too much during interviews.
7 . Be prepared to describe your weakn Read more:Job Interview
