In this paper we present experiences with the .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET which we won in two big projects. Thereby we give hints for the practical use in .NET projects.
We designed and implemented two systems:
• A database maintenance system for the internet risk assessor “MIRA” for the Munich Re. Up to 10 developers were included and the project had a size of 8 man years.
• The core application of the real estate investment company Real I.S. of the Bayerische Landesbank Group. The system was build by a team of up to 14 developers in 20 man years.

This programming guide will help you develop plug-ins for Adobe® Linguistic Library. Linguistic Library makes it possible to add linguistic services like spell checkers and hyphenation services to Adobe products, through the Linguistic Library API.

Linguistic Library is not a shrink-wrapped product. Instead, it provides common linguistic services for many Adobe products; thus, it is an important component of these products.

Each day business users everywhere gather, manipulate and report information using Microsoft Office applications. But in most cases, the data that is needed for analyses and reports originates in, or is analyzed by, systems and applications outside of the Microsoft Office suite. Business analysts frequently need access to large data sources that exceed the limitations of Microsoft Office tools.

The SketchUp OBJ exporter extends the export capability of SketchUp by providing an additional export type in the File > Export > 3d Model dialog. OBJ is a legacy ASCII format developed by Wavefront/Alias Software.
II. What’s New?
• Support for positioned textures. The positioning of textures is now preserved upon export.
• Support for transparent materials. The transparency of materials is now exported to the OBJ file.

The .NET platform claims to be a melting pot that allows the integration of different languages in a common framework, sharing a common type system, CTS, and a runtime environment, CLR (Common Language Runtime). Each .NET compiler generates portable MSIL byte-code (MicroSoft Intermediate Language). By assuming compliance to the CTS type system, components inter-operate safely.

The .NET framework is actually well suited for object-oriented languages which have an object model close to the one of C# or Java. Unfortunately, languages with other kinds of object models, type systems or supporting different programming paradigms (such as functional programming .. . ) do not fit in .NET as well as C# does. Writing .NET compilers for them requires much more efforts.

Reliable computer systems used in the telecommunication industry, in cars and automated factories (process control) are often implemented as special purpose systems which are vendor-specific, expensive, hard to maintain and difficult to upgrade. Often, those systems apply proprietary techniques to achieve security and predictable timing behavior, even in case of faults. With the need of integrating multiple of those control systems into a bigger whole, requirements arise to open up proprietary systems for standard (non real-time) distributed computing technology.

This guide assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of what ArcGIS and the .Net framework is, as well as a rudimentary understanding of how object oriented programming works. For more information about .Net and object oriented programming, follow the links in Appendix B.

In order to program with ArcGIS there are two products that you will need to have installed on your computer. First, you must have either ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS ArcInfo or else have the ArcGIS Engine installed. Once these one of these are installed you will be able to run the code you compile in the ArcGIS environment. The other ArcGIS product you need is the Developer Tools for Microsoft.Net that provides access to the .Net framework and the functions that ESRI has made for .Net as well as the Developer tools that install an API for ArcObjects. It is also important to make sure that your software is up to date, which you can do by checking the ESRI website to see if there are updates or service packs for your software (this tutorial was written using ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack1).
