Is it correct to assume that GetLastError (and variants) are per-thread or is it per-process? The problems if it is per-process are somewhat obvious in multithreaded apps because there is no way to guarentee that no other Win32 calls were made between your failed call and GetLastError. Sometimes the value of GetLastError is important. ...

Hi I have to do a small CMS application in MS ASP.NET using WebForms. I do everything on my own: front-end and back-end and Data Base schema.

Several years ago I developed a website for a wholesale company that wanted to keep its online catalog (and wholesale pricing) private. Short of manually reviewing each submitted application, I was really stuck on how to accurately accomplish this.

I've just realized that I've only wrote programs that wait for input, then do something, and am amazed that I have no idea how I would write something like pong :) How would something like a flight simulator be coded? It obvi...
By applications I mean anything from Windows/Mac apps to web applications to iPhone applications - just anything that can generally help a programmer. I develop in ASP.NET and C#, and I'm still relatively new to both languages, so would like some applications to help, and also applications to help me manage my outstanding issues/bugs. D...

Is the concept of a strict modularity provided by OSGi frameworks in Java, available in any other programming language?

In other languages I have no ...
