1) Java is a language, .NET is a framework, you're comparing apples with beef. If you want to compare languages, try and compare Java to C#. Or compare the Virtual Machines. Or.. learn what the definition means 
2) Being able to "read" compiled source doesn't make it open source.
3) What are you trying to achieve with this post?

Actually, .Net would be pork, as in "full of".

Yes, however it is also a platform[^] and one could certainly argue that it is a Framework along the lines of .NET.
I'm certainly not defending the OP ( I'm not sure I could get high enough to want to do that  ), however comparing the Java platform to the .NET Framework is not completely unreasonable since there are many similarities.

The Wiki-article that you quote also states that Java is used in a number of platforms. The .NET framework is also available for multiple platforms. Java is a language, not the sole property of Sun. C# is a language, not the sole property of Microsoft.
#define platform There's an article in these kind of definitions, but I'm not going to burn myself on the color and taste of a word +)

I'm not either but you stated the OP was comparing apples to beef and while the OP is obviously clueless I don't see what you posted matching up completely with other things I have read. For example this MSDN Documentation[^].
This guide is aimed at developers who are responsible for creating and implementing enterprise level business applications based on either Microsoft .NET or on J2EE and where interoperability between the two platforms is a requirement.
Now if you think the guys at Microsoft have it wrong about their own product Ok but I am just talking about what I read from people far more connected than myself, not what I personally think defines a "platform".

Partially context-based, and interpretations vary; platforms is used here to denote the sum of the technologies for both platforms, whereas in the first post it was more in the context of a platform that enables execution, like for instance, an Operating System or a Virtual Machine.
..why is it so hard to resist posting an explanation hereto? 
--edit--
I did ask for the definition of the platform-word, didn't I?

So you can read (and modify even, with a plugin) it, but that's not the source.
And I don't understand the question, will you?

Just because the source can be decompiled, doesn't make it open source, that is determined by the licence attached to the application/component in question.

Ok, I know licence differentiations between open source and non open source. In generally people say Java is open source but C# is not open source when compare these languages. We can read and modify .Net framework dll how using reflector. Actually my question is this action is becaome open source advantage? Or "java is open source" means different than this think... What is open source (not licence question).

Unanswerable because the licence defines it so it has to be a licence question!
public bool IsOpenSource(Framework framework, bool licenceQuestion)
{
if (licenceQuestion)
return framework.IsOpenSource;
throw new ArgumentException("Open source is defined by licence so licenceQuestion must be true.");
}

thanks for answer.
But some times some users want to be source code so they choose open source program. For example goverment change OS system which is windows to linux after 2000 in Germany. It's related about security criteria. I know windows different than c# )) I want to point this is not licence ( in this case licence using for funds concerns) problem.
Thanks for interest and relevance,
Best Regards...

We wanted the sourcecode for our spellchecker. It's not open-source, but the company sold us the sources for a fair price. That's proprietary software, and we are not allowed to sell the source
dataminers wrote: It's related about security criteria.
That was related to politics. The EU doesn't want to depend on an American company, especially since most companies have a limited lifespan. Other reasons include politics

True, it's not about the price of Windows, since the TCO of a Linux-machine (for Desktop use, with Office) is comparable.

.Net source code, as you know, can be viewed - including most of the stuff in the framework. It is NOT open source, Microsoft decided to release some of it in readonly format.
There is no guarentee that they will continue to do this with future versions of the framework, or that future versions will be able to be decompiled with reflector, or any other tool.
They currently produce 'free' express versions (a few minor limitations for every day users) of each language. Again, they may not do this in future.
If you want to work with an open source version of .NET, then you should use Mono[^].

Could you explain open source basically?

Hi
I've written a little app that uses FileSystemWatcher to wait for a new *.jpg file to be written to a folder, then loads the image into the picture box.
It works perfectly for the first file, but subsequent files fail with a message about "invalid parameter".
Oddly, this consistantly fails like this EXCEPT when debugging and stepping through the code where it works for about 5 files before it blows up.
This is the relevant code:-
pictureBox1.WaitOnLoad = true;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(e.FullPath);
pictureBox1.Image = bmp;
Any ideas? I've tried putting .dispose() statements all over the place but that makes no difference. I've run out of ideas now.
It does seem strange to me that you have to tell it the file is a bitmap when it's actually a jpg file, but I don't know of any other way to "attach" to image file to the control. Could this be what's causing the error?
btw I'm fairly new to C# although I'm a long-term VB6 mug, so this could well be me getting hold of the wrong end of the stick
Cheers
Sam

It could be caused by the file still being written to the disk. The FSW fires it's event when the file is created, not when the app writing the file is done writing it. So, try to open the file DenyShareAll, and if it fails, Sleep for a second, then try again. If the file opens, then you can safely create a Bitmap object from the filestream, close the file, then assign the bitmap to the PictureBox's Image property.

Ahh, of course. Now you've said that, it's obvious why it worked when when stepping through the code as opposed to running... I was slow enough to allow the file write to complete before going onto the next step.
Not sure how to create a bitmap from the filesteam as you've suggested but I'll think around that. In the meantime I worked around it by looping-and-sleeping until the filestream opened, then closed the filestream and created the bitmap directly from the file (if you know what I mean).
Anyway thanks for the prompt.
Sam
