I think you should put less faith in marketing papers.

"Save an entire workbook in the XML Spreadsheet (XMLSS) format. "

This is simply not true. Where are your charts gone? Or may be charts are not of enough importance to be regarded part of workbooks, right?

This also shows you haven't actually tested the link/technique you refer to, since whenever you do so you get prompted with a box saying "shapes, embedded objects and charts won't be exported".

Belive me when I say it's of importance to use appropriate words. This can count in weeks or even months of reinventing the wheel and writing your own export only because Excel doesn't do what the marketing papers pretend.

A nice collection of information Suresh. I would just like to add on that its not only Sun (Java) who seems inspired by Microsoft (.NET), its vice versa too. Although I'm not a Java programmer myself, but I do know that the .NET framework architecture, some of its classes, namespaces and even the MSIL (ByteCode in Java) are just some of the core concepts in .NET which have been inspired by Java. Isn't it?

Very nice post, Suresh. I'm not much of a Java guy, but I am a .NET guy and I honestly like the .NET framework a lot better. I've looked at both, and can honestly say I've picked the correct one.

Nice post yeah... I like .NET too but... one of things that i don't like is the lose of code control.
With java i coltrol all source, i know where and why things happens. With .NET i sometimes losed my mind asking myself What's happening n why?

But i think it's a logical evolution to the future "selfmanaged" development enviroments... dont you?

If this kind of texts are in a 'comparison article' the article is pretty worthless:

"Java: Compiles the source code to Java bytecode, which by itself is not a language."
This is not true. .NET compiles to byte code as well, the assemblies you run are not ascii texts interpreted by ilasm. They contain bytecodes which are interpreted by the JIT + CLR. Same with Java. You can dissassemble Java bytecode and see the assembly instructions as well, add assembly and assemble the .class file again.

So although the bytecodes of.NET have a name, IL, it doesn't mean the java lookalike bytecodes are not a 'language' :)

This also is somewhat misleading:
".NET: Designed to support multiple different programming languages. Currently, 30 languages support the .NET architecture."
In .NET all languages have to compile to the native IL statements as well, the same with languages on the java VM. In theory you can create a C# and VB.NET compiler for a java VM and run the code. The CLR's inner workings and limitations are pretty close to C#'s aspects.

You are not making any point here mate. How can a paper/article/task from Microsoft be pro-Java anyway, and vice versa?

I dont agree with you Suresh. I am a java J2EE and .Net student and find that java is a language with the concept of "less is more" furthermore it is well established and supported by major vendors like BEA and IBM.

Java is natural and though I have no kinship to Sun when I first learnd C# it took me days because it was a copy of java.

Regarding your response to #3: "And I don't think any vendor is selling illegal products!"...

I believe that the original point was not selling illegal prducts, but using "illegal" (meaning unlicensed) products in the development environment. In other words, it is unfortunately probably rare for any dev shop to have a separate license for each running copy of Windows, VS.NET, Office, SQL Server, etc.

In contrast, you can develop full-blown enterprise applications in Java using 100% free tools (operating systems, server applications, IDEs, etc).

Your point about the free availability of the .NET Framework & MSDE is well made, but overlooks a few critical factors. The primary one is that they both require a Windows operating system to run on, which has licensing fees (unless they are "illegal" copies).

In addition, while the framework is free, developing .NET apps is possible but excruciatingly painful unless you are willing to pay for (or illegally copy) VS.NET, which is quite expensive. In contrast, there are several excellent Java IDEs that are freely available. I use Eclipse, and when I have to go back to VS.NET for a .NET project, I sorely miss basic things like refactoring support, etc. (This will be in Whidbey, but that is a ways off yet, and will cost even more money to upgrade to).

I think the best way is to get it downloaded through msdn subscriber downloads (agreed bandwidth is a limiting factor, but I waited for a week to get it done :-).
I uninstalled the previous versions (you need to do that in a order) and it worked fine for me.
Anyway good luck, if you have time probably you might want to try it on a fresh image.

I have some trouble using SOAP attachment. My prototype is programmed in C#. After I ported the code to Managed C++, I got an error which says something like "web service request 'application/dime' received, but 'text/xml' expected".

I heard WSE2.0 doesn't support Managed C++. I was wondering if there are work-arounds so I can handle DIME requests but still use Managed C++ for the web service.

I believe that any DataLayer must be a simple code block, that they allow operations against DB.

That code block would not have to know on the Business Entities. Single to specialize it is to execute the operations (Store Procedures and SQL Sentences) against the engine DB (SQL, Oracle, DB2, etc.), with which this setting.

Finally, I invite to you to download the DataLayer.Primitives Public Version.

This is very cool Data Layer :)

Hello,

I came across your posting regarding using AJAX to update a database onunload. I have been using a popup method onunload for the last while with a web application I have written that integrates with MS Presenter. I was wondering how successful this had been for you... You are able to confirm the AJAX request is processed before the window closes? The window does need to exist in order to ensure successful DB communication?
