catch (Exception ex){  if (IsWrongPassword(ex))    return ''INCORRECT_PASSWORD'';  throw new Exception(ex.Message, ex);} It's such a pity that a person who wisely makes meaningful method names, does not know that an Exception object is rethrowable.

The 7D's AF functionality can be confusing for most who do not frequently switch photography modes and styles. This series of video tutorials serve to provide a better understanding of which AF mode to use and how to configure them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYWQ3NUuMk&p=187CC5882A843D19&playnext=1&index=10

I think it is time to open a new sub-series: quoting myself. Not that i think myself wise and great. But i make points that i do not wish to forget over time (yea i get senile pretty easily). Also, it will be fun to see how I change my perspective as I grow older. So without further ado, The brands and models of your tools don't make you cool. ...

Now that .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 are in full swing, I think it's wise to open a page to jot down the useful add-ons that can enhance the developer experience. As time goes by, this list will get updated. Windows Automation API 3.0 ''Visual Studio 2010 runs faster when the Windows Automation API 3.0 is installed ..... Applications that ...

In Fullmetal Alchemist, the First Law of alchemy is that of Equivalent Exchange. It states that for something that is to be obtained, something else of equivalent value has to be given. This roughly keeps the balance of material existing in the world. So I have been operating dual monitors for a rather long time now. During that span of time, I ...

For most in this first quarter of the year, that did work out. Although sometimes my keyboard or mouse would oddly go missing and undetected no more how many times ...

Yes, this whole system (more than one app) is vastly bigger than the .NET Framework itself. And that is not news to be happy about by any measure.

Previously I was all happy and impressed by the performance and stability of NDepend v3.0. I still am, but alas, the fact remains that no matter how well you design and build something, there will always be something much more horrid to make your work crumble to pieces. When I started moving onto the larger deployments in the enterprise - ...

I had previously ranted about the lack of information and education concerning the 32-bit-to-64-bit development transition, and to this day still seems to remain a significant worry from what I observe of the developer community.
