I have an ActiveX control that I need to update on users systems.* Now it seems that if IE had instantiated an instance of the control during the current browser session, then the installer (or uninstaller) would prompt you to close the browser to continue the install process. How could I achieve an upgrade that didn't require you to close the browser?* Is there a way to force IE to abandon it's handles to the control's DLLs? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I know these questions are very basic and possibly one of the FAQs. Question 1 Do I want Vista Ultimate (or) Server 2008 with a minimal set of features (lets say Server 2008 Standard) installed on my development machine? Question 2 What is the difference between Desktop version and Server version? P.S: when can we download Vista SP1 from the MSDN Subscriptions website? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I attended Lang.NET 2008 and, as expected, learned a great deal from some of the industry's finest language and compiler minds. One of the most interesting talks was Gilad Bracha's session on his new programming language, Newspeak. Newspeak is really compelling from a language design perspective because of its pluggable type system (everything in Newspeak is virtual). His talk was really deep and targeted at his fellow language designers, but it's all starting to make sense to me now (takes a while to sink into my thick skull). Erik Meijer, our resident programming language guru and a deacon in the Church of the Lamda Calculus (:)), was of course in attendance and presented on the current state of Volta (an excellent managed tier-splitting technology that you should definitely*play with). Mads Torgersen, Danish computer scientist and member of the C# design team, was also in attendance. It's always fun to chat with Mads. He's got a very well balanced and insightful*perspective on pragmatic programming language design. We're lucky to have him working with Anders et al on the evolution of C#. I thought it would be a great idea to get these three characters together in one place to talk about what they know best: programming languages. We have a great discussion on type systems, programming*language history, DLR*and language futures. If you are into programming language design, then this is for you. There is no white boarding, but the conversation is deep given the topics covered...*It's also a really fun interview with exceptional personalities. We laugh a lot, which is always a good thing. So, step outside of the box, settle into a comfy chair (this is a long one - unedited as usual)*and get some new perspectives on programming language design and evolution from some of the top minds in the industry. Enjoy! Lo-Res version for the bandwidth challanged. Listen to the podcast(MP3) Listen to the podcast(WMA) Download the Video Watch the Video More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
