I remember reading a post by Miguel a while back stating they were going to support WPF. He was pretty hesitant for a while, but he got on board a month or so ago.

A Vigenere encryptor and decryptor in C#
This post breaks the #1 rule of cryptography... NEVER roll your own! Plus this article doesn't really talk about or describe this home-grown crypto algorithm, only talks minimally how to use it...
Dual Monitors for Developers
posted by akcoder(830) 4 years, 4 months ago 0
I've got three at work, and I love it! A Dell 30 inch in the center, flagged by two 19 inch monitors. I keep email up on the left monitor, my IDE in the middle (30 inch) monitor, and instant messenger, documentation on the right monitor!
When we first got the 30's in at the office, we (the devs) were all thinking maybe they were just a bit to big. I seriously considered giving one of my 19's away. But my experience turned out to be a lot like when I got dual monitors back in the late 90's... You very quickly adjust to the amount of space you now have, and then you wonder how you ever got along without all that space before. The ONLY downside of having the 30 inch (other than the crappy ATI drives for my T60P) is because I have a laptop, with a much smaller screen (both physically, and pixel wise), and visual studio has no profile support (that I've found); I can't customize how I'd like to be able to given the amount of real-estate I have at work. i.e. I'd like to keep the toolbox and server explorer open permanently when I'm at the office, and have my laptop docked, but when I'm undocked, I'd like to have that stuff closed, and have it all happen automagically. Who knows, I may decided to write a macro to make that all happen...
kbeeveer46, not that I've ever heard of. If you don't want to install a second video card, you can get a USB to VGA adapter. Thats how I feed my third monitor at work. You only get in the neighborhood of 5-8 frames / second on it, but it works sufficiently for email or documentation. Sewell has a USB to DVI for $150 (http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-DVI-External-Video-Card-High-Resolution.asp). The USB to VGA I have ran $100, and I think we ordered it off Amazon. HTH

What a developer needs from their manager
I truly wish I could kick this more than once :) A very spot-on article.
The best managers I've had were not developers, and were by and large non-technical.
Get Vista to Boot faster
This doesn't make your machine boot faster. What it allows you to do is set the number of processors and the amount of RAM the machine is allowed to see/use.
How to get remote debugging to work successfully
posted by akcoder(830) 3 years, 4 months ago 0
sontek, I disagree. The first step says do the stuff in the MSDN article, but then it tells you the rest of the steps that I found scattered around the net for getting it to actually work. Have you ever tried to do remote debugging with .NET? BTW, I'm the author of the blog post.

What is the point of this blog post? More importantly, what is the point of submitting this to DNK? This doesn't add any value to the site...
Develop .NET on MacOS X
There is a very distinct lack of information in the article. It can be summed up as "Use Mono, but not MonoDevelop because its not like Visual Studio." Next time you write a piece like this, give more detailed information. What worked for you, what didn't. What you like, what you didn't. How th experience compared to developing .NET on Windows, etc.

This post is of little to no value. The site is infested with ads, and the actual content is nothing more than a brief rant about MS SQL Server 2008 Management Studio
