| Messaging Between Threads using Message Loop |

| Performance Monitoring |
| C# Help |
| It's agreed that a program must run correctly and produce accurate results, but in many systems this isn't enough. Enterprise-class applications are of such mass that they must also be scalable. Verifying the scalability of an application traditionally requires specialized tools and bolted-on functionality to support monitoring. Now there's help, using the performance counter capability of the System.Diagnostics namespace. |

| Saving and Restoring Location, Size, and Window State of a Form |
| C# Corner |
| Every time I create a new desktop application I find myself having to add some code that will restore the main application window to the position, size and window state at the time of closing. This article presents a simple C# class that may be added to a form to automatically do this. When I designed this class I wanted to be able to add it to a form using the least amount of code and also be able to add it to a form from the toolbox. |

In this article, Matthew Reynolds takes a look at how to save and load documents for a simple WinForms application. As part of the work, he introduces a reference implementation for properly handling the creating, saving and opening of documents as laid down by the Windows guidelines. |

| The Message is the Medium - Invoking a XML Web Service |
| DotNetJunkies |
| Programming webservice-clients is usually presented as making calls to remote objects, objects living on a webserver. Actually calling a webservice is a matter of sending a message to the server and hoping that the server will reply with a response message. This is a subtle difference but can have some interesting results when studied in a little more detail. In this article, with a possibly overused title, I will dive deeper in the different ways of invoking a webservice to get a better idea of what is goi |
