I'm building a desktop application that runs in a Windows environment using .net technology. It's important that this application run smoothly and consume as little of the user's system resources as possible, since the user is likely to keep it running throughout the work day.

I've been writing Java web (JSF, Struts, JSR168) apps for a number of years. With the recent departure of a colleague, it looks like I'm going to be building more client applications. I've used Eclipse since the beginning and I'm really comfortable with it. It feels as though SWT is waning (just an opinion based on literature I can fi...

My background is in web programming, mostly scripting with Perl. And I've recently been tasked with creating a desktop application.

I hate auto-created desktop shortcut icons, but some folk seem to think that unless your installer clutters up your desktop, it hasn't worked correctly! Are there definite guidelines on this for Windows , or is it wholly personal choice? (Having a "Leave clutter on my desktop?" checkbox in the installer is one option, but to my mind, t...
Hello, Is there a way to create a second Desktop screen in C# - just like they do in Linux? I've never done this before but I find the idea very interesting.
