| An Introduction to Mobile Programming in C# |
| C#Today |
| With the expansion of the web away from traditional browsers, current technology has brought the internet into mobile devices. Microsoft has constantly improved its support to such devices, and the introduction of the .NET framework has taken this support a step further. With .NET we can program for a mobile device as a normal web page and the Common Language Runtime and .NET framework will take care of rendering the data in the appropriate format, i.e. as HTML for browsers, as WML for mobile phones, etc. In this article Niranjan Kumar introduces us to programming for Mobile devices using C# and ASP.NET pages. This is illustrated with a Stock List application that accesses a SQL Server database and lists available stocks on either a Mobile device or HTML browser. |

| Building a Custom Data Provider for Use with the .NET Data Access Framework |
| MSDN |
| The System.Data.dll assembly in the .NET Framework contains namespaces whose base classes can be used to create custom data providers. These namespaces also define a number of data access interfaces and base classes that let developers create data providers that will interoperate with other custom providers. Using the ADO.NET classes Connection, Command, DataReader, and DataAdapter, writing a provider is easier than writing one for OLE DB. This article explains these classes and their implementation, and how they can be used to write a variety of different kinds of data providers. |

| Tips and Tricks to Bolster Your Managed C++ Code in Visual Studio .NET |
| MSDN |
| Developers using the Managed Extensions for C++ have more options than those using other languages because C++ is a lower-level language. However, this means an increase in code complexity. This article discusses a few of the more complex issues facing developers, such as operator overloading, managed types and unmanaged code, and boxing. Also covered are the is operator, the using statement, and string conversions. The author points out the flexibility of Managed Extensions for C++ and outlines the additional effort that is required for you to take advantage of its increased power and flexibility. |
