Hello everyone, I am writing a very simple WinForms application with few data-entry forms. But before the user gets to these forms, she has to select which action to take (ie which form to open, possibly after entering a search query).

I've read a bunch of documentation on installers and haven't come across anything good that explains the underlying concepts. Most of the installer software I've come across is based on the same "database" like structure that I just don't understand at all. All of the documentation that comes with the various products - i.e. WiX, Ins...
In Alex James' blog post How to fake Foreign Key Properties in .NET 3.5 SP1, he explains how to add a Foreign Key property to an Entity Object. I've used that to get a reference/navigation property working with a DropDownList in a strongly-typed ASP.NET MVC application as explained here: Strongly-Typed ASP.NET MVC with ADO.NET Entity F...

When I run the application locally (debug mode), using [SMTPServer] to send, the logs arrive neatly formatted and look as I'd expect.
