When you use the Table Services API in Windows Azure what is really doing under the hood? I think I read somewhere that this is not using SQL Server. Is it doing a hash table and then filters are really running like map/reduce actions? I'm really new to this stuff and I'm curious to what it is really doing. ...

A long time ago I wrote a little FTP utility for a client, and it has been working just fine for over a year. The other day, they tell me that they "updated" their machines (including the server where this was installed). Suddenly, my tiny little desktop app started erroring out. Here is the error message: The configuration section '...
Hi all We got a project where we're supposed to let 3rd party developers create their own GUI / CodeBehind drivers. Our GUI is running on WPF. Now, we got a number of possibilities for doing so, but one of the things we're considering is to create some sort of sub-Xaml XSD to let the create their GUI using markup (dunno if it'll be XAM...

At the moment there is just a handful or so webmethods but there will be a lot of them when we get through to the other side. I am sure there must be some very cleve...
Hey All, So I'm integrating WPF into a Windows Forms application I've built. One of the big hurdles I'm running into is that when the Markup compiler generates the .g.cs files in the background, the InitializeComponent method is being generated incorrectly.
