Is there any way to get a list of accessible RFC modules and/or tables on a SAP system? On many examples on the internet I've found one RFC modul that seems to be available on every SAP system ("SD_RFC_CUSTOMER_GET") and...

Treating 7z files as .NET streams

DllImport incomplete names

I am using several P/Invokes under .NET. However, I want my library to work both in Windows and Linux, preferably with the same binaries.

Is Mono for ASP.NET mature enough for real applications?

Have you heard of real ASP.NET applications that use Mono? What problems do they face? Would you advice this technology to build a server-side for a RIA? We plan to build ASP.NET Web Service.

Automatically re-populate the cache at expiry time

I currently cache the result of a method invocation. The caching code follows the standard pattern: it uses the item in the cache if it exists, otherwise it calculates the result, caching it for future calls before returning it. I would like to shield client code from cache misses (e.g. when the item has expired). I am thinking of spa...
