I have downloaded a few forum packages form Codeplex.net, and looked at YetAnotherForum, but they don't seem to use the ASP.Net membership provider. I am using MySQL for a database and would like to have a forum using the same user base without too much extra work, since I don't know if the forum will be popular. Are there any forum sol...

I have a DGV bound to a list of objects. This works fine except that one of the object properties is boolean and therefore displays as a checkbox but I would prefer a simple yes/no text field instead. I've considered adding an additional column and populating with the appropriate string based on the boolean value but this seems a little ...

I have a reference application that I use to work through DDD issues, and my current focus is on persistence. An alternate title for this post could have been DDD / TDD persistence tools and methods, but that is a (very) broad topic and I do have a specific question on SQL Server. I'm going to outline my current tool set in this paragra...

When you release it should stop. It looks like this is not possible in win...

In a WCF service, what happens if I add methods as operation contracts after clients (that consume the service) have completed their implementations? Will the existing clients have to modify their implementations even though they do not use the new operation contract methods? EDIT: Will the clients have to update their proxy even though...
