To read tomorrow (or at least the article about it) — Hijacking .NET
yikes. good night for now.
UPDATE 5/22/03 – okay i’m not going to buy the book just now, but i guess i don’t know enough about .NET to know whether or not it matters that you can access private members (sounds a bit dodgy sorry) — i mean, given the proper access rights, you can do this in java, and this is what you even want or need to do sometimes, this is one use of reflection. In conclusion, this sounds like much ado about nothing–unless of course there’s some security that .NET assumes is not accessible with private members (in which case that security is compromised)….
confound it, i trusted a story about microsoft anything on Slashdot again. dumb sensational headlines…although i guess in this case the book title itself is the thing that’s sensational.
