| .NET Anatomy - Data Concurrency in ADO.NET, Part II |
| DotNetJunkies |
| This is the second article in a series covering the subject of Concurrency in ADO .NET. Concurrency is the method by which many users are able access and change the same data simultaneously without being concerned that they are overwriting each others work. The architects of the .NET Framework made a design decision that the DataSet object assumes that Optimistic Concurrency as the default method of concurrency. |

| .NET Anatomy - Data Concurrency in ADO.NET, Part III |
| DotNetJunkies |
| In the two previous articles on this subject we have looked at how the ADO.NET DataSet object contains built-in support for concurrency operations. This functionality helps the developer to build applications that keep users from overwriting each other’s data accidentally. The implementation is open and flexible and so what I will be showing you here can be tailored to your own requirements |

| .NET Remoting ( A Simple Approach) |
| C# Help |
| .NET Remoting provides a powerful and high performance way of working with remote objects. Architecturally, .NET Remote objects are a perfect fit for accessing resources across the network without the overhead posed by SOAP based WebServices. .NET Remoting is easier to use than Java's RMI, but definately more difficult than creating a WebService. In this article, we will create a remote object that will return rows from a database table. For the sake of simplicity i have used the NorthWind database that is packed with the installation of the Microsoft SQL Server. |

| .NET Remoting - The Interface Approach |
| C# Help |
| In this article, we will create a remote object, and access this object using an interface. This method is important when creating a physical separation between business tier and consumer code. In traditional Remoting approaches, to access a remote object, you need a copy of that object on the client machine. With this approach, the metadata is split into a separate library that can be copied to the client machine. |

| Christian's Code Project Screensaver |
| The Code Project |
| Well, here it is. I'm sorry that the article is non-existant, it is very late, and I need to go to bed, but I couldn't wait to post the fruit of my labours. I will write a full article in support of my screen saver hopefully tomorrow, but I don't have access to any web space, so I'm going to use Chris's to show you all what I have done so far. The screensaver is written in C#, it simply creates a form that takes up the full screen, and it can only be turned off my pressing a key. This is because when Chris has his XML feed going, I will scroll the latest links from CP in semi transparent text, and moving the mouse will generate a cursor, and clicking on an item will stop the screen saver and launch the URL. |
