NIO appeared in Java 1.4 and introduced the concept of "Channels", which are supposed to be faster than regular I/O. Network-wise, the SelectableChannel is the most interesting as it allows to monitor different states of the Channel. It works in a similar manner as the C select() system ca...

Implementation of IDatabaseInitializer that is used in EntityFramework by default. As the name implies, it creates the database if none exists. However when you change the model, it throws an exception. Usage: public class MyContext : DbContext { public MyContext() { Database.SetIni...

context.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over" "destination-over" compositing places new drawing under existing drawings. context.drawImage(rainy,0,0); context.globalCompositeOperation='destination-over'; // sunny UNDER rainy context.drawImage(sunny,0,0);

context.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-out" "destination-out" compositing uses new shapes to erase existing drawings. The new shape is not actually drawn -- it is just used as a "cookie-cutter" to erase existing pixels. context.drawImage(apple,0,0); conte...

context.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over" "source-over" compositing [default], places all new drawings over any existing drawings. context.globalCompositeOperation='source-over'; // the default context.drawImage(background,0,0); context.drawImage(parachuter,0,0); ...

It's important to handle exceptions in your service. When developing the service, you can set the WCF to provide more detailed information, adding this tag to configuration file, usually Web.config: <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> This tag must be placed w...
