Since its inception in 1991 as one of the first third party Visual Basic component vendors, Desaware has lead the way in developing innovative software products to assist developers in their programming efforts. Based on experience going back to the days of Windows 1.0, we understand the critical features needed by developers, sometimes presenting a solution before developers are even aware of the problem (as in the case of VersionStamper - a tool which solves the "DLL Hell" distribution problems).
Desaware's products deploy advanced technology to reduce our customers' costs. Our customers have told us that VersionStamper has paid for itself within days of their product's deployment. Our NT Service Toolkit reduced the cost of developing NT services from weeks and months of time by high end C++ programmers to hours of time by Visual Basic developers - with no compromise in capability. Our SpyWorks package does the same, allowing VB and .NET developers easy access to lower level features in Windows.
Our new StateCoder product for .NET dramatically improves the reliability of applications, components and services that make use of the multithreading and asynchronous features of .NET. Forthcoming .NET products will continue in this tradition.
Our customer base ranges from independent contractors to Fortune 50 companies, all of whom have found that by using our products they can dramatically reduce time to market and provide more features to their customers than would otherwise be possible.

Publisher: Desaware Primary Category: Code Creation/Editing Product Type: Book/DocumentationHijacking .NET is today's equivalent of using undocumented Windows API functions. Except that not only are the functions under discussion undocumented, they are actually private functions internal to the .NET framework that were never intended to be used from outside. In this new eBook series, Dan Appleman will teach you how to find these hidden functions, how to use disassembly and common sense to figure out what they do, and how to implement code that uses them (along with a straightforward explanation of the relative risks of doing so).

Publisher: Desaware Primary Category: Debugging and Testing Product Type: Book/DocumentationIn the ideal world, every application and component would be a black box that would work perfectly the first time, and that would fulfill its purpose without any need for human intervention or review. In practice, this ideal is rarely achieved. Real world applications need to be instrumented - meaning that there need to be ways for them to report on how they are working. This may mean producing detailed trace information to determine what the program is actually doing. It may mean logging information so that users can analyze what the program actually did - information that may be essential for measuring performance, for recovering from disaster, for detecting security breaches, and more.

Publisher: Desaware Product Type: Book/DocumentationWith the release of Visual Studio .NET, a great deal of attention has been placed on the Visual Studio .NET languages, Visual Basic .NET, C# and Managed C++. It might surprise you to know that yet another language is built into Visual Studio – one that can be used in conjunction with VB .NET or any other .NET language. A language that is terse to such a degree that the term “concise” does not come close to describing its brevity of syntax. A language so cryptic that it can take hours to truly understand a single line of code. Regular Expressions with .NET is an eBook that introduces the Expression Language. View More
