So, we are looking for new roommate in our house and I was suppose [...]
Windows Vista Application Compatability Cookbook Written on October 28, 2006, by akafazov.
Microsoft is regularly publishing design guidelines for programmers developing on their platform. However, it looks like that most developers never read them. Well, probably some of you have, but I personally never read such guideline for XP before, neither do I know somebody who does. But it’s a good idea. Coming across this document I [...]
WinForms asyncronous programming model Written on October 27, 2006, by akafazov.
The official .NET asynchronous programming model requires that when we call an API which begin with “Begin” we should also call the corresponding “End…” to wait for the result after the callback method has returned. So this is why most people would claim that EndInvoke is always required, but this is not necessarily the case, [...]
Информационен портал на българските разработчици Written on October 26, 2006, by akafazov.
Преди няколко дни ми дойде идеята да се направи портал за програмисти на български език, подобен на The CodeProject. След кратка дискусия в във форумине на CleverDevelopers се оказа че поне начален интерес към подобно нещо има и според мен може добре да се интегрира с останалото съдържание в сайта.
Идеята на сайтове от подобен тип [...]

IE 7 is ready Written on October 20, 2006, by akafazov.
Iccidentally I saw on microsoft.com that their new browser is now available for download and of course installed it to see how it works. Even though I use Firefox all the time, I wanted to try IE7. The first impression is very good. I haven’t explored it in detail yet, but most of the webpages [...]
BSD Certification Written on October 19, 2006, by akafazov.
This spring I went to the LinuxTag in Wiesbaden where one of the talks was about the upcoming BSD Certification. It is an important step which would help the industry to adopt BSD solutions, which I think is a big *win* for the community. The idea is to create a certification which could guarantee that [...]
Visual Studio 2003 still hangs a lot when debugging Written on October 19, 2006, by akafazov.
Well, it’s not a new experience with this version of Visual Studio, but it still happens in the SP1 which was released soon.
So whenever I debug a multithreaded app I sometimes get a memory violation error or unhandled exception or even deadlock. In all those cases VS2003 would hang which will result in the whole [...]

I suspect that the [...]
