About .Net Town

Microsoft technologies hav come a long way since Visual C++ 1.0, haven't they? Most of us have at least run into a VB app. ASP revolutionized (OK, did some cool stuff) with dynamic web pages. And, think about the CLR. Wondering what all this is? Been a while since you've dipped your feet in the Microsoft waters? (yo). Feel like you want to share what you've perfected and help all those heathens out there see how it's done ... right? Well, here's your group. I'll kick it off with a few generic discussions and you take it from there. It's new, it's cool, it's the .Net Town, here to inform you about one of the most popular software development technologies around. Do you feel like you're getting what you're paying for? Join this group and find out!

Need a bit of help. I am doing a project for school and I am having a bit of difficulties. I have a form "SandwichForm" and an inherited form "SummaryForm" The summary form opens when you click the submit button. What I would like to do is have both forms close after viewing and clicking an exit button on the "SummaryForm". Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello, all. Just joined. I'm attending meetings Sarasota Community Foundation as a member of the Sarasota .NET Developers Group. I'd love to know about any other meetings that are held; especially in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. If this wall is read, PLEASE inform me.

WhatsApp Deploys Rust-Based Media Parser to Block Malware on 3 Billion Devices

WhatsApp has rewritten its media handling library in Rust, replacing 160,000 lines of C++ with 90,000 lines of memory-safe code for 3 billion devices. The rollout, part of a system called Kaleidoscope, uses differential fuzzing to ensure bug-for-bug compatibility. The move mirrors a decade-long industry shift toward memory safety, tracing back to Mozilla's first Rust MP4 parser deployment in 2016.
