Hi, I often read that one of the best ways to continue learning how to programme is to study great opensource projects out there in the wild. Can somewhere recommend a good open source C# project that they learned a lot from. I've been coding a couple of years, both windows and web apps, pretty standard stuff, sql server, asp .net. I'm...

I'm currently contributing to a few open source projects to keep me busy as I am in between jobs.

In general, how do you choose a framework or library to use in your application? Does it have to be open source? Does it have to be commercial?

But some customers talked about Open-Source and so he got the idea, that such a thing exists. Recently he surprised us, because he wanted to make a ...

Is it enough to add the Ms-...
