I thought my days of dealing with DBFs as a "production data" source were over, but HA (no such luck).
Here is a method of using the FoxPro ODBC driver to Pack a DBF file (removing deleted content from the repository).
Here are some examples of calling a particular ASMX Web Service from different languages.
In my last post, I showed how Extension methods can be created in the .NET 2.0 environment.

A utility for demonstrating Linq to XML that downloads MP3 Podcasts of DotNetRocks.
Here is a work-around for the situation where the CD burning software sometimes says there is no disk in the drive (when there is).
