I want to model a kind of FSM(Finite State Machine). I have a sequence of states (let's say, from StateA to StateZ). This sequence is called a Chain and is implemented internally as a List. I will add states by the order I want them to run. My purpose is to be able to make a sequence of actions in my computer (for example, mouse clicks)...

Now, I want to drag one of the movie-clips from one panel to another (remove it as a child from the first panel and add it to the other) without a ...
I've been reading up on real-time systems and how they work etc. I was looking at the wikipedia article as well that said a game of Chess with a timer per move can be considered a real-time system because the program MUST compute a move in that time. What about other games? As we know, games generally try and run at 25+ FPS, could it b...

Ideally I could use all the existing platform's configurations to determine the properties of the site that is presented.

I'm currently working on what will be my first real foray into using MVVM and have been reading various articles on how best to implement it. My current thoughts are to use my data models effectively as data transfer objects, make them serializable and have them exist on both the client and server sides. It seems like a logical step giv...
Hi, working with a team of more traditional developers we came across this situation: We have a growing number (two right now) of apps that will be accessing some common data inserted via the ui of one of the apps, which could be called the main administrative app. Since the other apps just need some of the data or needed formatted with...
