re: Microsoft Application Blocks

CAB (Caching Application Block) in the Enterprise Library is been implanted to simplify development tasks but due to it’s in process and standalone behavior, it can give scalability and reliability problems. so the use of third party distributed caching solution, like NCache or Velocity can be a better option.

re: OrElse and AndAlso

Regarding array declaration:

I agree that the array declarations "adding" an element is confusing at first. I was writing a serial communication program and the extra element was screwing things up.

I believe the reason they did it is because then you can use either 1-based arrays or 0-based arrays easily. That means all us 0-based people have to remember to declare the array with the index of the last element in parentheses, rather than the size.

Regarding AndAlso and OrElse:

I recently discovered these, after I wrote a whole program with And's and Or's everywhere. I don't think they are fully interchangeable. There are some situations where AndAlso is essential. For example:

If listbox.SelectedItem <> nothing AndAlso listbox.SelectedItem.ToString = "the item"

is an absolute must if you have Option Strict turned on, because if you don't, this will generate an exception if the first test is omitted or AndAlso is replaced with And (because you'll get a null reference exception on the "ToString")

Listbox behavior, in this respect, is quite annoying. If you start using AndAlso and OrElse from the beginning, you avoid a lot of problems like these if you suddenly switch to Strict = On (like I did).
