One way to organise threads so that they co-operate without tripping over each other is to use a messaging mechanism to communicate between them. John Rivett-Carnac looks at one such implementation of internal application messaging. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/145371/an-internal-application-message-bus-in-vbnet/ Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:32:46 GMT John Rivett-Carnac Dan Mohl introduces FSharpx, a community-driven, open source set of extensions for the F# language http://www.developerfusion.com/article/136179/an-introduction-to-fsharpx/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/136179/an-introduction-to-fsharpx/ Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:47:39 GMT Dan Mohl Carl and Richard talk to Shaun Walker about DotNetNuke.

And for those who have been customizing AutoCAD with VBA, VB.NET is the logical language of choice once VBA is completely phased out of AutoCAD.This book is the edited, updated, and revised version of the VB.NET for AutoCAD 2007 Customization book. It includes revisions to code to make it easier to read, and to bring it into conformity with currently-accepted best practices. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/88495/vbnet-for-autocad-2010-level-1/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/88495/vbnet-for-autocad-2010-level-1/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:18 GMT Jerry Winters Windows 7 brings new salvation for .NET developers, and it comes in the form of the Windows 7 API Code Pack for the.NET Framework. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/70531/enhancing-your-applications-for-windows-7/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/70531/enhancing-your-applications-for-windows-7/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:17 GMT Kevin Griffin "Concurrent Basic extends Visual Basic with stylish asynchronous concurrency constructs derived from the join calculus.

Here's how. http://www.developerfusion.com/code/7987/making-a-net-app-run-on-vista-with-administrator-priviledges/ http://www.developerfusion.com/code/7987/making-a-net-app-run-on-vista-with-administrator-priviledges/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:15 GMT James Crowley After a long beta period, Visual Studio .NET 2008 is finally on general release. There are a ton of new features and enhancements in this release that make it almost a no-brainer to upgrade - I thought I’d take a moment and list my top ten favorites in no particular order. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/7633/introducing-visual-studio-net-2008-top-10-features/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/7633/introducing-visual-studio-net-2008-top-10-features/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:12 GMT Mark Smith What is the one activity or phase that improves the quality of your application? The answer is an easy one: Testing, and plenty of it. Traditionally, testing is a phase somewhere towards the expected end of the project - when the cost of any code or requirement changes is known to be much higher. Craig looks at how TDD can address this by adopting a more agile approach. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/6875/improving-application-quality-using-testdriven-development-tdd/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/6875/improving-application-quality-using-testdriven-development-tdd/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:11 GMT Craig Murphy Learn how to read and write Open XML files in the new Microsoft Office 2007, with a particular examination of the Excel file format. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/6170/read-and-write-open-xml-files-ms-office-2007/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/6170/read-and-write-open-xml-files-ms-office-2007/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:11 GMT Zeljko Svedic In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the WebRobot component to interact with web sites, by filling out forms dynamically and uploading files from a simple VB.NET application. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5706/interacting-with-the-web-using-webrobot-v10/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/5706/interacting-with-the-web-using-webrobot-v10/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:10 GMT Fernando Sanchez Here is a little snippet that allows you to clean your recycle bin without any confirmation from the user, no progress ui and the sound is removed. http://www.developerfusion.com/code/5673/how-to-empty-a-recycle-bin/ http://www.developerfusion.com/code/5673/how-to-empty-a-recycle-bin/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:01 GMT Peter Rekdal Sunde This function takes one color type variable and returns the hex code in a string. http://www.developerfusion.com/code/5664/vb-express-color-object-to-hex-string/ http://www.developerfusion.com/code/5664/vb-express-color-object-to-hex-string/ Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:24:00 GMT Chris Buske Visual WebGui is not just another AJAX framework but rather a different approach to web application development, specially designed to simplify building highly complex applications like Outlook Web Access (OWA).
