WinForm applications StartUp Path: No more talk, time has come now to code: let's start somewhere: anywhere in fact in this large world of multi - purpose development . Well I was working on an Office automation stuff. Having a word document repository folder in my .Net solution Folder let's say FolderA , and knowing that at execution time I'll be located into the FolderA\bin\Debug directory I supposed I could use something like @"..\..\doc" to get into the FolderA\docs directory. Why didn't it work ? I 'll know one day.But when your are coding on projects you don't have time to think a lot, you just have time to make things work as expected. So I didn't wait anymore : I used Application.StartupPath function, mixed it with something like Application.StartupPath.Substring(0, Application.StartupPath.Length-9) + "doc" and I could get the result. I will come back later to my "Zen of code Optimisation" book and see if something ther

One way computers seems to act better than human brains: For multi task purposes, computer are powerful. The proof is that the last universal scientist was Henri Poincarré according to my "Classes Préparatoires" maths professor. So since 1900 humans were not able to perform many tasks the same time.... But listen, now there is a new age of scientist there, and it's defenders are some MVP, MCSD, MCAD and others MS events speakers. Their knowledge is really really huge : C# ASP.NET SQL SERVER BIZTALK SERVER Content Managment Server Internet Information Server CLS, CLI, .Net Framework, ILDASM, .... How do they do it ? I wonder if I will know one day. Some old folks says you can't know if you don't try: you have to try first. It means you have to be one of them....Uhhhhh ! Never will I be one of them.... unless.... I get my MCSD, my MCT and I take a little experience In software development, adding training experience to this and setting up the best of the best sof

BizTalk Server Business Rules Framework Introduction BizTalk Server Business Rules Framework Conclusion Introduction Business rules guide the decision-making behavior of all business processes—they are the conditional criteria against which factual variables are evaluated to determine an appropriate business action. In conventional application design, business rules are coded as procedural implementation methods. Embedding business rules within applications has always been problematic because it compromises the effectiveness and versatility of the application, and consequently the business process the application is meant to enable. The limitations and inefficiencies of this development approach appear at every stage of the application’s development life cycle: • The development process requires a translation step to convert rule logic detailed in a functional specification to procedural implementation code. The rules include business facts, conditional statements, and so on. • When co

Interesting stuff of today (21/06/05) Nothing more than tighting a customer with a very nice Transaction managment demo. The customer is a "big of bigs" and it could lead us to . . . MAD business. So the task is really important and I'me gonna cope it like it's hot
