I currently use a System.IO.FileSystemWatcher as part of a "roll your own" message queue system (passing XML "messages" between servers using SOAP web services, writing the "messages" to a specific folder on disk where a Windows Service running a FileSystemWatcher pounces on the new "messages" as they arrive and do something productive w...

After reading this blog, I want to try writing a similar program myself. One of the subtasks is to have a source set of polygons, and use these polygons to generate the bitmap that is going to be compared with the target image.

I am using IronPython to create a shell for a plugin API to Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 to speed up learning their API. One of the classes the API provides is Autodesk.Revit.Elements.Room, derived from Autodesk.Revit.Element.

I wonder how the VS2008 IDE registers a plugin. A db file, xml etc. since I know that once I call devenv.exe with the parameter to my plugin dll, the next time I launch VS IDE, my plug in is still there. Any leads on where it registers my dll? I can also make use of a best practice for such development pattern. I think of developing a b...

And, naturally, freeware win...
