(John Liu) I just got home from the Sydney .NET User Group tonight, where they talked about SilverLight and Flex in a session focused on RIA.

(Boris Kolpackov) Recently there’s been a bunch of announcements of new XML parsers that claim to be very fast, very small or both. I also see a lot of people get very enthusiastic about using them in their applications. Just the other day I got an email from a user asking if it was possible to use

(Chet) Zenoss provides a variety of tools to help you integrate it into other tools. Commonly used are the REST, XML-RPC and Python APIs. Another less-used option is XML.

(Andrew Birt and Rahul Ravikumar) This article describes the creation of an ATL Web Service (Visual Studio 2008 IDE) and a Web Service client (ASP.NET). The ultimate goal is to describe a simple, efficient and repeatable methodology to integrate legacy C++ code (mathematical models and analyses) i

(Emmanuel Tissandier) Diagrammer for .NET 1.5 introduces a set of new WPF controls that can present information as a graph display made of nodes and links. In this post, I will show how you can use these controls to display the content of a Microsoft Project XML file. We will use .NET 3.5 and Linq t
