There's a decent guess on the wikipedia[^].

I know someone who does, yes.

That happens.

The guy who's still on ME doesn't expect new software to run on his machine, and I doubt that he'd be interested.
Stick with the versions of Windows that you can get support for from Microsoft. Everything they don't support anymore (like Win95) needn't be on your supported-list.

Possibly, but you could find out what version of .NET your customer's system can handle and target your app to that version.

I was/am a PC modder for Oblivion and one thing that I was always amazed with was their modding tools. I never understood how it was possible to make a program that could be so easily managed by anyone who came along and decided to do so. I was intrigued by this notion and was thinking to apply it to software that I create.
All the programming I've been used to so far has had me creating code in my program for specific actions or instances, and creating premade interfaces... but I would like to learn how to create programs that can be easily modded by the end user (at least in the realm of visual appearance), while still being usable by me.
No matter how I look at it, it feels like this sort of programming direction needs to be decided at the beginning(not changed midway). Are there any articles that describe this sort of programming method or how to plan it before hand? Or can anyone give me any guidance towards this path? Anything would be helpful! Thanks!
- P.S. I'm not talking about this sort of programming method just for games, but just as a general approach to the subject. How to make a program that can be molded by the end user without losing any core functionality.

This concept is know as 'theming'.
A language like WPF will provide inbuilt support for themes.
ASP.Net provides themes as described here[^].

Hi,
I have a database which is running in one server. I have created an .exe(windows application) which is installed in client pcs. Shall I call this application as Client Server Application.
If the answer is YES, If I use the same .exe in the server where database is running, Shall I call that too as Client Server Application.
If the answer is NO, How do I call my application and introduce to the User? The user undserstand the application which comes thro' the webbrowser as Web Application(Internet or Intranet). Likewise how do I call it.
What is Client Server Application?
Thanks in advance,

If you have multiple instances of an exe running on various different machines (all clients) all connecting to a single machine (server), you are working on a client server application.
It does not matter where you put the exe. If you put the exe on the same machine where the database is, it would still be a client - server application. You are still connecting to the server using the client file.
Read more about client-server here[^].

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with implementing an algorithm in managed c++ and the same in c# and what the performance numbers were in comparison.
What I'm trying to say is do you get any performance benefits by implementing specific portions of your application in managed c++ when the need for that extra oomph is needed?

I found this[^] article a great read.
If you are going to use typically managed constructs, looks like they would both be neck and neck in terms of performance.
Its really when you start using specific constructs would you need to compare the two languages.

Almost always that answer to that is no.
If the application is slow then it there is a problem with the requirements, architecture and/or design. Correcting those can lead to orders of magnitudes of improvement. Given correct one can only improve parts of an application by small percentages.
As a specific example of that if you have a method that you call 1 million times a second are you going to to get more speed improvement by speeding up that method by 20% or by only calling it once a second?

Hi,
When i am tring to open solution in VS IDE.. i am getting message like "Microsoft VS 2010 has encountered a problem and need to close.We sorry for the inconvenience."..

No, but I can tell you how to find out. Use Event Viewer and see what VS writes to it when it can't load.
|
|
|
|
|
yes,the error message can be showed with event viewer.
i haved any problem settling with it
|
|
|
|

It may not be VS itself causing the problem. I have encountered this with Tool Extensions that are loaded. In addition to Pete's advice, try disabling any extensions.

Sometimes it can help to remove the ".suo" file. But not always.
Sometimes a solution which could not be opened previously can be opened again, without any changes to Visual Studio or the solution. Sometimes opening a solution which never produced those problems, fails... It is very enigmatic.
Visual Studio 2010 is still a heap of bugs, it is not the quality was used from Visual Studio 2005.

I wondering if I will have any problems with the setup for my visual studio.net 2010 professional installation. When I open my visual studio.net 2010 ide, and select help and about micorsoft, and click on about microsoft, I see the following:
microsoft framework level 4.0.30319 RTMrel.
However when I open an existing web forms C# solution file and select properties and then select settings, I see the following
target framework is .NET framework 3.5.
Thus my question is shouldn't I be working with the .net framework 4.0 since I am working with visual studio.net 2010?
If this is a problem, can you tell me how to fix the problem? If this is not a problem, can you explain why this is not a problem?

NO, it's not a problem - VS2010 can multi-target all frameworks.....
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

That's the version number of the latest supported framework.
sc steinhayse wrote: However when I open an existing web forms C# solution file and select properties and then select settings, I see the following

That's the framework-version that the solution is targetting; in other words, the sourcecode that you're looking at was written for version 3.5.
sc steinhayse wrote: Thus my question is shouldn't I be working with the .net framework 4.0 since I am working with visual studio.net 2010?
No, the IDE should open the solution without modifying it. If it was written targetting 3.5, it'll open it with that environment. You can upgrade the project to target the 4.0 framework if you want.
You can change the targetted framework under the projects' properties.

Hi all!
A few days ago my boss told me to find and test an application server which allows us to run .NET applications on different platforms (Linux and MacOSX inclusively). I've spent about two days already to learn different approaches, but biggest part of them is not so handy and easy to use as I want. The only one candidate I have today is a TNAPS 3 Application Server. I was really impressed about its distribution size (3mb) and how easy I run it on Linux and Mac OS X (thanks for samples they provide for testing) and I think it will run on Windows as well. But I am still not completely sure about using it since it still under private testing and I have no using it before.
So my question is about TNAPS3 or its alternatives if available. Which one is better and easy to use.
Thanks

Normally "application server" runs X and provides functionality Y.
And for .Net you certainly are going to want to test the first part (X) of that extensively because you are relying on it to correctly implement the version of Net that you are using.
Because of course Microsoft is not providing that functionality on OSX/linux.
You might also want to invest some time into insuring that it is legal. Since if you commit to one and they get shut down by MS for some illegal methodology then you are going to be in a really bad place.

Switch to JQuery tabs http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs[^] then you can do something like this
function onButtonClick()
{
$("#tabsContainer").tabs("select", 2);
}
