Disable Tooltips in CrystalReport.Net

CR.Net new features..."Disable Tooltips Option"
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/teams/crystalreports/whatsnew/default.aspx
It's finally solved in v.2k5...

Background of the Stupid CR Tooltips:
By Default, CR provides tooltips which explose the attributes (field names, data types, etc) of objects on the report.
The coolest part is, it CANNOT be disabled.
The only workarounds are:
1) Overriding the tooltip texts via COM
2) Assigning dummy text( a.k.a. the chr(9) approach) for each fields in each reports at design time.

It's frustrating :(

Google Talk

Finally Google is getting into the Voice chatting and IM business.
Will Google beat down Skype and MSN?

Its interface looks good.
Anyway I always feel confident with Google's moves.

It says Miranda can work with Google Talk.
How do I configure Miranda for Google Talk?
Perhaps I can try it tonight!

NHibernate

I read from the Sourceforge.Net update and just know that there is a DotNet version of Hibernate!

I'll try it after the completion of current project.

"NHibernate is a port of the excellent Java Hibernate relational
persistence tool to the .Net platform. Hibernate is the leading solution
for object-relational mapping (ORM) and object persistence in general
for the Java platform. The NHibernate object persistence library for
relational databases is almost 100% feature-compatible with Hibernate
2.1. What makes NHibernate and Hibernate both unique is their approach
to persistence, where your objects are not required to inherit from a
special base class or implement an interface, (N)Hibernate works with
plain old Java/CLR objects. Hibernate is also very flexible -- you can
define how to persist individual properties and associations, query the
database using a very concise and powerful query language, and so on.

Starting up a new project

It's my 1st brand-new project in current company, playing the leading role.
Although the system scope is not large, it's quite important to myself, I beg.

Although I know the design is not quite good, I still think the project will be fine. As the requirements are quite clear and simple, I have no fear of failure.

I'm just worrying if we can do it quickly in an unfamiliar environment. Our team don't have much experience in developing Win32 application with VS.Net technologies. The previous systems are mostly web-based or else "legacy".

I hope I will be entertained.
