Hello, recently I was working on a project where I needed to automate
PDF generation. I found two open source libraries that I liked, but
the best one required the Windows.Forms class to be used in the C#
code-behind. When I tested the library, this worked fine in Visual
Studio 05.
What I was wondering was, are there performance concerns or security
concerns in using the Windows.Forms library in an ASP.NET website?
Will using it impact my scalability? All thoughts are welcomed, thank
you.

If you use a windows forms - based library on your server, and it opens forms
that require user interaction, there isn't going to be anyone logged in to
see them, click buttons, etc.
Do you see the problem here?

Just referencing the library won't have any performance impact. It depends
on what is done with the library. Some of the functions in there have
single threaded designs that make assumptions that may be inefficient in a
web context.

Hi everyone,
Is there anyway to create some sort of catch-all in windows forms applications
that could ensure that no unexpected exceptions bring down an application?
For example, perhaps there is an event that you can watch for whenever an

to handle unforeseen exceptions? I'm assuming that surrounding huge chunks
of application code in try catch blocks would be...

that is meant to be used like that?
It seems to be that c# should be used for either form based windows apps,

SQL Server will be used as the back-end database to a non trivial client

In question is the choice of client application:
I need to be able to speak intelligently about when one client (MS Access vs

good arguments on both sides, I would appreciate your points of view on the
topic.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
