Android 2D development
The profiler is pretty good and it allows to find what objects are mostly used and cache them in order to win more performance. If you are using the profiling tool don't forget to include SD card permissions in the application manifest.
Advantages:
Really liked multy-threading handling. Message object is very comfortable to use, because it contains an option to pass 2 arguments and one object so no need for extra code.

[APPV] Solving VFS sequencing problems by implementing directory link between virtualized directories and actual directories
Some applications have hardcoded paths which require special efforts for redirecting them to the proper location. There are cases, in which tools can’t be redirected to the new location and “Junction” utility from Microsoft (By Mark Russinovich) helps to solve it. “Junction” creates symbolic directory link from Virtual Application to the actual file system. By using it, the package creator won’t spend his time for looking and changing the hardcoded paths to the new location.
How it can be implemented
The method could be implemented by attaching script which will execute “junction.exe” with the required parameters within the virtualized application environment. For example: junction.exe c:\app q:\app, by executing this command all applications’ requests referring to c:\app will actually be forwarded to q:\app.
*Tested on XP

Multiple zip extracter
So, i started to look for a new utility which can do it. I found an easy solution by using 7-zip file manager(http://www.7-zip.org/) and it's open source.
I discovered the following method:
1. launch 7-zip file manager
2. Select all your zip files
3. Right mouse click menu -> 7-zip->Extract
That's all

How to store XMLdocument @MSSQL 2005 as xml by using XSD
For making life easier I created a stored procedure and imported it to Dataset:
I'm posting this code for other people which are looking for the fast solution:
MemoryStream xmlStream = new MemoryStream();
xmlDoc.Save(xmlStream);
SqlXml sqlXml = new SqlXml(xmlStream);
//here comes a table adaptor //
tblXYZTableAdapter xyzTableAdaptor = new tblXYZTableAdapter();
xyzTableAdaptor.SP_StoreProceure(sqlXml);

XSD & handling DBNull problem C#
Recently, I started to use XSD for faster & easier object development in VS. One of obstacles which I discovered is DBNull which almost impossible to handle an exception via usual approach like
I found two ways to make it easier:
1. To use try/catch mechanism, may result unnecessary slowness
2. The best: XSD class product for each object also a method for null/DBnull validation and by doing it helps to make a program in a very easy way.
Example: if objects name MyColumn so the method will be called IsMyColumnNameNull.

Bear in mind,that 2 components should be evaluated:
1. XDMCP settings
2. Linux firewall settings
