I think that Live Mesh will be really useful. I think it provides great benefit to individual users, such as myself, and has great potential to be used by software solution developers. I’m presently using it to synchronise some files that I want to backup and be available wherever I am.
I originally had a lot of web files being synchronised, around 700MB, but the synchronisation was taking ages and killing my CPU. CPU was sitting at 100% and there was no sign of things completing. I think it was having a problem with the volume of small files.
To summarise: it’s a great product with bags of potential but something needs to be done to reduce the CPU usage when dealing with the synchronisation of a large volume of small files.
To make a cross domain web request with SilverLight 2 really isn’t that tough. I did have some problems with RC0 but I have no idea why. I just tried writing a little app to do this and it worked straight away.

Here’s the contents of the list:

Step 1: Dis-assemble the assembly
ildasm myTest.dll /out:myTest.il
Step 2: Re-Assemble using your strong-name key
ilasm myTest.il /res:myTest.res /dll /key:myTest.snk /out:myTestSN.dll
This code work perfectly to assign strong name.
for verification you can use following command,
sn -vf myTestSN.dll
I’ve been aware of Microsoft’s documentation generation system called Sandcastle for a while now but only recently have I had a chance to use it.
With NDoc all but dead (see NDoc 2.0 Alpha) Sandcastle is now one of very few free alternatives that I could find to generate documentation from my coding comments. However, it did take a bit of searching and playing around to get things working.

Once you know it you'll probably never forget it...but wait, this is the second time I've googled for this. I'd best post how you "get the Windows temporary directory using C#"!
C#:
-
string tempPath =
-
System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
