More C# style trivia
In one of my last posts , I’ve said that I didn’t like the new recommendation of not using _ to prefix member fields. At the time, we all seem to agree that using hungarian was really a bad thing.

Path.Combine saves the day...again
I've already blogged about the cool utility Path class.

Type inference in C# 3.0
My friend Paulo published a post that talks about type inference and how it might evolve in the next years. Even though type inference's main objective is to support LINQ (in fact, most of the new stuff that C#3.0 introduced is only there to support LINQ), I must say that I've been enjoying it...

Printing accented words on a Zebra
Some time ago, I've written a small sample that abstracts some of the details associated with printing to the Zebra. This post explains what you need to do in order to print accented chars to those printers. By default, Zebras use a codepage which don't print accents. Fortunately, setting the codepage...
