I'm getting all learned up about binding in WPF. I'm having a lot of trouble debugging the parse errors in my xaml, though. Can somebody pretty please tell me what's wrong with this little piece? :
<Border Name="TrackBackground"
Margin="0"
CornerRadius="2" ... |

Is the Border in a Template btw ?
Because there is no need for TemplateBinding if the border is not located in a Template (either ControlTemplate or DataTemplate) |

Are there conventions for function names when using the Perl Test::More or Test::Simple modules.
I'm specifically asking about the names of functions that are used to set up a test environment before the test and to tear down the environment after successful completion of the test(s).
cheers,

Ah, the age old problem of not wanting to increase the session time because of higher memory usage.
One answer is to also set a cookie that expires after more like a day that will tell the system to still remember the user. That's what eBay does, among others. |

I don't know what you're using to determine the file's lock status, but something like this should do it.

try {
stream = File.Open( fileName, fileMode );
