   Eventually this could be a very cool site.

I would recommend picking up AJAX in Action.

Okay - well, no, it's not really. For those who do client-side development that requires you to go to the threading level of programming at times, you may have encountered this already, that if you use GetCurrentThreadID in your applications, the compiler will whine now saying that its been obsoleted. Why?

Threads in .Net aren't necessarily threads in the traditional sense of the word (the Win32 sense of the word, that is), just like AppDomains aren't processes in the traditional sense of the word. The reason is because threads, in .Net, can actually be implemented using the old-school construct of fibers. So, it's possible for two seperate threads, then, in the .Net framework to actually have the same real-world threadID (and, GetCurrentThreadID() returns the real-world ThreadID). What was added, then, to the 2.0 frameworks was Thread.ManagedThreadID; which provides a unique identifier for the "thread" the calling code is running on.

...see, I'm writing an application right now which utilizes windows hooks, and I require the actual ID of the calling thread; which Thread.ManagedThreadID does NOT provide.

...very cool utilities, especially if you do web development and require jumping back and forth 'tween browsers.

Sometimes you have to go back to interoperability between the .Net and Win32 layers, and when you do you (undoubtedly), you'll have to deal with the old Win32 errors codes that may come back. You get those error codes using System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetLastWin32Error(). The error codes that come back (and their meanings), can be referenced from here. I'm always forced to re-dig this site up from time to time, so I figured I'd post it for reference (both for others and myself!).

This is one of the most pathetic things I've seen in a long, long time...if this makes any money I will cry myself to sleep at night.
