Are there inexpensive or free gateways from .NET to Java? I'm looking at some data acquisition hardware which has drivers for C/C++ and .NET -- I really don't want to do any programming in .NET.

Hello, Can someone please confirm to me that when my application is written in .NET 3.5 that this code System.Environment.Version.Major.ToString() will produce this 2.0.50727.1433 I'm just moving to 3.5 and the first application I'm moving is an internal website.

I'm using Jeff Atwood's Last Configuration Section Handler You'll Ever Need, but it only seems to work for the default app.config file. If I wanted to separate certain settings into another file, the deserializing doesn't work, since ConfigurationManager.GetSection only reads from the application's default app.config file. Is it possib...

The detailed bug report is available her...
