“The Typed DataSet that Microsoft generates from Visual Studio.NET (or from the XSD.exe tool), does not support derivation directly. In order to allow us to derive from Typed DataSets, Chris Sells and I created this tool that fixes the couple of issues with inheriting from Typed DataSets.”

“More classes! More working code! Better compiler! Faster runtime! Less bugs!”

“An obfuscator only delays the inevitable. With unlimited resources (time and money) and physical access to code, all code can be reverse engineered. This was true for native x86 binaries and it’s true for .NET Framework applications. What an obfuscator does is increase the cost of the effort required to reverse engineer obfuscated code. Hopefully, it increases the cost enough to make reverse engineering your code unpractical.”

“There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.”

“Day after day since 1984, teams of programmers, linguists, theologians, mathematicians and philosophers have plugged away at a $60 million project they hope will transform human existence: teaching a computer common sense.”

“We are currently conducting an open beta-test.

“Built Software recently released the first beta of BoxDB for .NET, a library designed to simplify database application development. BoxDB is an abstraction layer that sits between your application and a SQL database. The purpose is twofold: First, BoxDB eliminates the type of repetitive SQL programming that you might otherwise cut & paste throughout your app. Second, BoxDB creates a simpler interface for persisting application data to the database.”

“Microsoft is developing new security software it hopes will make Web services and its entire product lineup more appealing to big companies. The software maker will announce plans on Thursday for technology code-named TrustBridge that will allow businesses to authenticate user identities between companies and applications using Web services standards. ”

“It’s easy to put Visual Build Pro to work doing all that manual labor for you so you can focus on more important things. Visual Build Pro is a powerful but affordable build management solution that will automate the build process without a huge commitment of time, and it works with the tools you’re using today.”
