Kit George has a little brain teaser revolving around static/shared methods in a class. If you are not familiar with the static (C/C#/J/C++/etc) or shared (VB) scope, don’t just skip this. Read it, think about it. Google some of the keywords. Google some of the key words in the comment that Richard Blewett left. I promise you will learn something new and valuable.

ch-ching – one more acer c100 purchase and some answers for Kent
Kent Tengels just got an Acer C100. I wonder if I influenced that one? 🙂
Kent, to answer your 3 questions:
… SDK1.7 is not supported with the whidbey beta… and I haven’t tried it yet to see what happens
…you can persist the ink data and stuff it into your database. Then rehydrate it at a later time.
…. all the lonestar goodies should be right there in front of you if you have SP2. Like this one!
Have fun!!
more on WSE2 for Dummies
part of the description for my WSE2 talk at ASP.NET Connections is:
If you believe that you shouldn’t have to read a 20-page white paper four times in order to secure your Web services, then the new version of Web Service Enhancements has been designed with you in mind
so the joke here is that the manual for the WSE2 Security & Policy Hands on Lab is 38 pages! 🙂 But I hope one pass will do the trick!

Christian Weyer answers my quandry about iXMLSerializable in .NET 2.0
While digging into some ADO.Net 2.0 a few weeks ago, I found that iXMLSerializable, previously (or is that currently) hidden in .NET 1.x and used for datasets has now been exposed so that we can leverage it. I had been “victimized” (I say that tongue-in-cheek) by accepting the magic of my datasets being transformed into XML by web services to send over the wire. But now I didn’t want to just believe in the magic, I want to know how this works!
Christian Weyer has explained iXMLSerializable in much more depth and also acknowledges that there was a little joke among the web services gurus:
Well, to tell it with a little joke, some people tend to call it ISupportDataSet and not IXmlSerializable. This is because until version 2.0 of the .NET Framework this interface was used solely by the System.Data.DataSet type and some checks for this type had been hard coded in one or the other tools. So, let’s forget about those old days, IXmlSerializable has never been supported officially then, but now it is.
