There are various (mostly open source) projects to write a CLR (Common Language Runtime) on other operating systems such as Linux and BSD. The two best known are: ROTOR - a Microsoft Shared Source implementation for FreeBSD, Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.2. (Link is to a website with a range of links; no one link seems particularly suitable on its own.) Strictly speaking, these are not actually .NET - .

The .manifest file is not required if you are using .NET FrameWork 1.1. You can now use the application's EnableVisualStyles() method which should called before creating any controls. You also need to ensure that the FlatStyle property of the control...

Download the Net-SNMP 5.1.2+ source and compile using MSVC++, MinGW or Cygwin as described in the Net-SNMP README.WIN32 file. This should create a working snmptrapd. See the question: How to I enable the Perl support for UCD-SNMP / Net-SNMP under Windows? Note: Net-SNMP 5.1.2 or higher is recommended if compiling under Windows as it contains the latest Windows specific compiling improvements.

OR, run UnrealIRCd in GUI mode so you get prompted for the password (note: this is not recommended for "real servers"). Situation: you have the certificate encrypted for security reasons, so that when somebody can get his/her hands on the certificate it will not be broken immediately.

bit (x64) versions of Windows support both 32-bit and 64-bit processes, and corresponding 32-bit and 64-bit versions of .NET 2.0. (.NET 1.1 is 32-bit only). NET 2.0 apps can either run as 32-bit processes or as 64-bit processes. The OS decides which to use based on the PE header of the executable. The flags in the PE header are controlled via the compiler /platform switch, which allows the target of the app to be specified as 'x86', 'x64' or 'any cpu'.

The .NET framework itself runs on all versions of Windows from Windows 98/NT4 upwards. It does not run on Windows 95 or NT3.5. For NT4, it requires service pack 6a.

Go in the BIOS Advanced setup and disable the mouse option first and install WfW. Then enable the mouse option after WfW is installed.

First run SuperCam by calling it from a desktop shortcut. Once SuperCam is up and running, use the ALT-ESC keyboard combination to quickly switch between Windows and SuperCam.

Yes, Skylog can be used with Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PCs provided you are using or have upgraded to Pocket PC application V1.05 (Skylog Pro) or V1.04 (Skylog) as appropriate. Please note that, because the Pocket PC applications were designed for use with the Pocket PC 2000/2002/2003 operating systems, certain display features provided in Windows Mobile 5 (eg, using Skylog with the 'Landscape' screen setting) are not available. Go to free Palm & Pocket PC upgrades to download these upgrades.

Yes. You can still access Group iDisk storage with your browser by clicking the Group iDisk icon on the group page. You may also be able to open the group iDisk using Microsoft Windows XP. For instructions, see the iDisk section of .Mac Help, and refer to "Opening your iDisk using Microsoft Windows." * Requires Firefox 1.0 or later, or Internet Explorer 6 or later.

bull;This article describes how to prevent Windows Messenger from running. By default, Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition install Windows Messenger, and the user interface does not provide a way to remove or to uninstall Windows Messenger. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 302089•Microsoft has not made it easy to get rid of Messenger but there is a simple way to remove it forever. Here are the steps:•Click Start, Run.

This section is work in progress, but see the front page for info about CSBrowse. The control works fine from .NET apps, but the control is regarded as unmanaged code. If you're looking for a cross-platform solution, then some day, the GTK browser widget may be a better fit That is if the Mono crew consider doing their own thing instead of aping MS at every step, and produce a viable GTK# with a component for browsing.

The .NET Framework SDK is free and includes command-line compilers for C++, C#, and VB.NET and various other utilities to aid development. Microsoft Visual Studio Express editions are cut-down versions of Visual Studio, for hobbyist or novice developers.There are different versions for C#, VB, web development etc. Originally the plan was to charge $49, but MS has decided to offer them as free downloads instead, at least until November 2006.

Yes. COM components are accessed from the .NET runtime via a Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW). This wrapper turns the COM interfaces exposed by the COM component into .NET-compatible interfaces. For oleautomation interfaces, the RCW can be generated automatically from a type library. For non-oleautomation interfaces, it may be necessary to develop a custom RCW which manually maps the types exposed by the COM interface to .NET-compatible types. Here's a simple example for those familiar with ATL.

Yes. .NET components are accessed from COM via a COM Callable Wrapper (CCW). This is similar to a RCW (see previous question), but works in the opposite direction. Again, if the wrapper cannot be automatically generated by the .NET development tools, or if the automatic behaviour is not desirable, a custom CCW can be developed. Also, for COM to 'see' the .NET component, the .NET component must be registered in the registry. Here's a simple example. Create a C# file called testcomserver.

I just can not belive Ghost has droped the ball on this and is still requiring people to use floppies. The directions are clear, straight-forward and accurate. This is the most well-put-together doumentation I've EVER found relating to Ghost. I've worked with (read: struggled with) the program on and off for years, and have never found any documentation anywhere near this caliber. This is the guide I was looking for since Symantec are so incopetent to write it for us.

Microsoft? Windows? CE .NET is an open, scalable, 32-bit operating system that is designed to meet the needs of a broad range of intelligent devices, from enterprise tools such as industrial controllers, communications hubs, and point-of-sale terminals to consumer products such as cameras, Internet appliances, and interactive televisions.

You can run .NET client applications and services on Windows 98, 98 SE, Millennium Edition (Me), NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, as well Windows CE .NET-based products, such as the Pocket PC and Microsoft SmartPhone 2002.

Yes, but not much. Because Windows XP was designed and built before the .NET Framework was complete, it only includes bare-bones .NET functionality. The primary conduit for .NET in XP is Windows Messenger, which is used to expose .NET alert and rendezvous services. XP also includes integration with the .NET Passport service, so that you can optionally auto-logon to Passport when you logon to Windows.
