I have been reading much these days about reform at Microsoft, both technology and management-wise on all these different blog sites like mini msft. I have taken an analytic stance while reading a lot of these posts; not because I don't think they concern...

I spent some time playing with Whidbey and noted some AppDomain unload/termination behavior that is not entirely intuitive. These apply to both the full .NET framework as well as .NET Compact Framework 2.0. The documentation resides at http://msdn2...

Recently I have been looking into painless ways to do some amount of code injection for MSIL for fault tolerance and security testing. One of my requirements was to be able to do this dynamically. I had found some tools that would do it statically by...

So I just got a query about how to create PPC themes. Well it's simple ... we have a tool ... Pocket PC theme generator ! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/themegenerator.mspx

A long time ago I made some NETCF themes for the Pocket PC ... so I thought I should share them out for all the customization fanatics out there. Have fun ! http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/preview.asp?ID=18517 http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/preview...
