More Safe Serialization for .NET

Here. From Dominic Cooney: This library provides similar functionality to the .NET Framework's binary serialization (although unlike Chris Sell's SafeFormatter, it's not a drop-in replacement for the binary formatter; you have to implement an interface). It works on the .NET Compact Framework, and in downloaded code with only 'Internet' permissions. Unlike SafeFormatter, this library preserves the object reference graph.

Oracle Data Provider for .NET

Here. From Mihies: The Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) features optimized data access to the Oracle database from a .NET environment. Unlike OLE DB .NET and ODBC .NET, ODP.NET is a native driver and does not use a data access bridge, which can reduce performance. ODP.NET allows developers to take advantage of advanced Oracle database functionality. The data provider can be used from any .NET language, including C# and Visual Basic .NET.

What is Meant by “Marketing”?

People often ask what is meant by Marketing. Perhaps the following analogies will help clear it up:

  • You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, I’m fantastic in bed.” That’s Direct Marketing.
  • You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, He’s fantastic in bed.” That’s Advertising.
  • You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say,” Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.” that’s Telemarketing.
  • You’re at a party and see a handsome man. You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, May I,” And reach up to straighten his tie brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.” That’s Public Relations.
  • You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, I hear you’re fantastic in bed.” That’s Brand Recognition.
  • You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You talk her into going home with your friend. That’s a Sales Rep.
  • Your friend can’t satisfy her so he calls you. That’s Technical Service.
  • You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be gorgeous women in all the houses you’re passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated in the middle and shout at the top of your voice, I’m fantastic in bed!”. That’s Spam.
  • You hear about women like this but never meet one. That’s False Advertising.

Here. TaskVision is a full-featured WinForms sample that supports auto-updating over the web and online and offline functionality, as well as some other cool .NET stuff. It includes most of the source for the client and the server as well as a lengthly write-up on just what makes it cool. Worth checking out as an alternative to href-exes (TaskVision requires one install and auto-updates after that).
