» Multithreading The Easy Way: The BackgroundWorker

  Sometimes you may need  your application to work on a slow or time- consuming task in such a way that your user isn't kept waiting unnecessarily while this is happening.

   The answer to this problem is to use multithreading.   Having seen many forum questions about multithreading, I know that many people are a bit apprehensive about tackling it.  However,  as it turns out, the BackgroundWorker component is versatile  and easy to use, providing a painless solution to this requirement.

» WinForms and WPF Interop - The Best of Both Worlds

  Whenever I see a question along the lines of "How can I include an image alongside each item in a list of items or use more than one font, or varying background colors?" I usually find myself muttering "WPF!".    This is a lot more sociable and positive than many of the things I mutter as I sit here each day, but finally I've realised that I need to do something about it.

  The result is this article, which works through the steps needed to harness the rich UI features of WPF to the more familiar paradigm of Windows Forms.

   The example used will show you how easy it can be to use a WPF control in a Windows Forms application and you can use this article as the stepping stone to creating your own.  The ListBox layout shown below will be created in WPF and ported over to be used in a Windows Forms application.

» Windows Presentation Foundation: FlowDocuments (Part 1)
When WPF first came on the scene, one of the features that got a lot of air time was the display of documents.  Leading edge projects like the NY Times Reader and the British Library manuscript display raised a lot of awareness of the possibilities.  Strangely though, since VS 2008 shipped there doesn't seem to have been a lot of mention of this part of the package.  So I thought I'd take a look at how easy (or not) document handling really is in WPF.

» What You Need to Know about PCI Compliance and Web Application Security Policy Changes
by Michael Sutton | Published 03/28/2008 | Security Web Development | Rating:
PCI compliance exists to protect consumers from credit fraud, and their data will be protected if rules are followed. If your business accepts credit cards, you are aware of changes to PCI compliance in June. Adherence to section 6.6 of the PCI compliance rules should have been met; if not, web application security must be integrated into existing applications.
