While understanding the best practices for exception handling / tracking / etc., in the .NET, I’ve ended up with the below information Best practices in Exception handling within .NET Before identifying the best practices, it is mandatory to identify the exception generation situations and handle them to the best need of the situation. The below is the best scenario for the exception handling.   Fig 1: Exception Workflow [ Source : Internet, I forgot the source link, but I’ve copied this above diagram.

Yesterday, I had to give some recommendations of using the browser control in windows application. The following text is submitted to the client and I’ve learned the deep hidden facts of the browser control. Below are the points of my discovery and they were extremely interesting if we dwell deep into it. Browser control in .NET There are 2 mechanisms that are supported by .NET to make the web URLs get data into windows applications. These mechanisms use components from ·          shdocvw.dll (the default WebBrowser Control which supports IE 4.0+ ) supported by ieframe.dll (the Core engine for IE 7+) ·          A COM component by Microsoft as “Microsoft HTML Object Library” in the form of mshtml.dll .

Now-a-days, I’ve been exploring much thru VB.NET programming. As being a programmer for more than 3 years, I’ve found difficulties in VB.NET programming towards writing the right syntax. But all these days, I used to think that there are online code conversion tools available to make my life easy. But I were found mistaken with the widely available code conversion tools. There are 2 tools that are widely used by the industry. One is from Telerik and the other is from Developer fusion . These both do the work till the maximum extent, but couldn’t handle the situation of event delegates and lambda expressions. The main problem is this with many of the free tools, they would not be having that intelligence provided for free. Surprisingly,  Developer fusion doesn’t provide any paid services. Telerik didn’t indicate that there is a paid version for the same. Hence, my work become more troublesome. While planning to post a query at the MSDN Forums for VB.NET lambda expressions as well...
