Now that Whidbey has been out in Beta for more than a few months, it seems worth revisiting some frequently asked questions which have different (better?) answers now. For the yes part of the answer, after building, go to the Output Window, select "Show Output from: Build", and about half way down you will see a section like this: Csc.exe /noconfig /warn:4 /define:DEBUG;TRACE /debug+ /optimize- /out:obj\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe /reference:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.

Testing shows that due to file caching, a temporary file can be very fast for relatively small outputs. In fact, if the file is deleted immediately after use, it often does not actually get written to disk. For example: RunWait %comspec% /c dir > C:\My Temp File.txt FileRead, VarToContainContents, C:\My Temp File.txt FileDelete, C:\My Temp File.txt To avoid using a temporary file (especially if the output is large), consider using CmdRet. Alternatively, there is a small freeware utility cb.

ntbackup <operation> <path> /a /b /d "text" /e /hc:<on/off> /l "<filename>" /r /t <backup type> /tape:n /v This will be backup . If you wanted to eject a tape you could enter eject (but must also include the /tape parameter) The list of drives and directories to be backed up. You may not enter file names or use the wildcard character. To backup multiple drives just put a space between them, e.g. ntbackup backup c: d: etc..

Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind. The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

The service has been tested with a C# client auto-generated from WSDL by the wsdl.exe tool. It should work fine from any .NET language.

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until Visual C++ 2003. (a.k.a. version 7.1) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with either the C API, or the ancient 1.7.1 release of MySQL++. This version is an unofficial third-party contribution which is known to have bugs. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Microsoft is giving away a limited but functional version of Visual C++ 2005 which works just fine with MySQL++.

Bacause MonoDevelop does not look for assemblies in the GAC. MonoDevelop uses pkg-config to locate installed packages and get the list of assemblies that each package provides. A package specifies this list of assemblies in a .pc file which has to be installed in the standard pkg-config directory. If you are developing a library, MonoDevelop can automatically generate a .pc file for your project (in the project options dialog, select "Linux Deployment Settings", and check the "Generate .

Yes, but you must do them one at a time. You can achieve this by varying the Language property on the publish page for each publish. However, it may be more practical to automate this at the command-line using MSBuild. No. The Language setting on the publish page only allows choosing one language at a time. Also, the bootstrapper is only designed to include packages for a single language. Yes, you can create an application manifest that defines satellites for multiple cultures.
