I have a license for abcdpdf .net and tried outputting to html, then using abcpdf to convert the html to pdf, but the excel html markup tries to emulate excel with all 4 worksheets with horrible markup.

The .Net model is something like this : C# Code -> C# Compiler -> Managed Module (Win PE) -> CLR -> "Hello, world" The code is compiled to a managed module which invokes CLR which in turn does the necessary work to run the code (assuming it's an exe).

Whenever I write a new class and add some internal fields, I use an underscore prefix like so: private readonly int _foo; Why did the .NET team decide to create an AppDomain interface with the name _AppDomain? It just bugs me to see it whenever I type an underscore to get my class level fields in intellisense. Why isn't it IAppDomain ...

I have to implement a way so our customers can backup their SQL 2000/5/8 databasase online. The application they use is a C#/.NET35 Winforms application that connects to a SQL Server (can be 2000/2005/2008, sometimes express editions). The SQL Server is on the same LAN. Our application has a very specific UI and we must code each for...
.Net defines a "Trace Source" concept, allowing configuration files to specify which trace sources to listen for messages on. WCF provides several trace sources, and I would presume that other portions of the .Net Framework BCL publish other trace sources as well. What is the list of trace source names published to by the BCL? ...
