Event handler: A
function or method containing program statements that are executed in
response to an event.
Type-safe: Code
that accesses only the memory locations it is authorised to access, and
only in well-defined, allowable ways. Type-safe code cannot perform an
operation on an object that is invalid for that object. The C# and
VB.NET language compilers always produce type-safe code, which is
verified to be type-safe during JIT compilation.
Repository:
Generically refers to a central place where data is stored and
maintained. A repository can be a place where multiple databases or
files are located for distribution over a network, or a repository can
be a location that is directly accessible to the user without having to
travel across a network.
Application domain:
The logical and physical boundary created around every .NET application
by the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR can allow multiple .NET
applications to be run in a single process
by loading them into separate application domains. The CLR isolates each
application domain from all other application domains and prevents the
configuration, security, or stability of a running .NET applications
from affecting other applications. Objects can only be moved between
application domains by the use of remoting.
