A look into what goes into the area of preventing reverse engineering, and gives developers some functions and ideas about preventing reversing engineering of their programs.
This article is dedicated to the observable property design pattern, a very nice pattern used in the Microsoft .NET Framework, a possible memory leak problem with it, and gives a couple of ways to solve it.
An article demonstrating how web services clients can be built both easily and quickly using XForms, a new, declarative language from the W3C. The forms are illustrated using formsPlayer, an XForms processor plug-in for IE6.
Generics will significantly transform C# 1.0 coding style. In virtually all cases in which programmers used object within C# 1.0 code, generics would be a better choice in C# 2.0 to the extent that object should act as a flag for a possible generics implementation.

This chapter provides a high-level overview of JavaFX, from the core JavaFX platform to the tools that you can use to build and deploy JavaFX applications.
You can build Java console applications that will run on any Java-enabled platform. Using this, and the power of the System.Net namespace, inlcuding the TcpClient class, you can create distributed applications that use a Linux server and Windows Forms clients that interoperate, thanks to Grasshopper
This article shows you how to build a simple cross-platform interoperation solution between .NET and Java using the Service Interface and Data Transfer Object (DTO) architecture patterns
This article presents an XML/XSL/XSD browsing and validation tool, a shining example of how various technologies like Shell scripting, Scripting Runtime, or HTA can be put together to aid programmers in rapid development of powerful script-based applications.
This article describes a high-performing interoperability solution between the Java platform and the .NET Framework. The suggested solution does not replace the Java Virtual Machine or the .NET Framework runtime, instead, your JVM or .NET are each hosted within the opposing runtime environment
This chapter concerns creating and destroying objects: when and how to create them, when and how to avoid creating them, how to ensure they are destroyed in a timely manner, and how to manage any cleanup actions that must precede their destruction.
