Logging in .Net: a short study
I have been using different third-party logging tools for both .Net (C# and C++) and Java, but in my current project we are using a custom logging tool. Don't ask me why we have written our own framework for this, but I guess it's partly because we have worked on our current code base since before .Net 1.0 was released, hence I guess the number of available frameworks at that time was quite limited. But now I am tired of spending time and money maintaining code we could get for free elsewhere!
Using icons in windows applications
Today I came across the same problem that I have had many times earlier: I need a new icons in an application, this time for a refresh button. So what do I do? I Google it ofcourse and get hundreds of hits to all kind of crappy icon libraries, most of the costing me a fortune!
