Text Formatting API
The attached property TextOptions.TextFormattingMode has been introduced to switch the text metrics used by WPF while formatting text. There are two settings for this property, and the value of this property is inherited by an element’s children.

When creating a chart that has rather long labels for the x-axis it is sometimes desirable to rotate them a bit so they fit on the plot. The method to use is setCategoryLabelPositions(...) on the CategoryAxis class. Here’s a quick example:
And the code...

Named pipes allow two unrelated processes to communicate with each other. They are also known as FIFOs (first-in, first-out) and can be used to establish a one-way (half-duplex) flow of data.
Named pipes are identified by their access point, which is basically in a file kept on the file system. Because named pipes have the pathname of a file associated with them, it is possible for unrelated processes to communicate with each other; in other words, two unrelated processes can open the file associated with the named pipe and begin communication. Unlike anonymous pipes, which are process-persistent objects, named pipes are file system-persistent objects, that is, they exist beyond the life of the process. They have to be explicitly deleted by one of the processes by calling "unlink" or else deleted from the file system via the command line.

Concurrent Collections were a huge addition to Java™ 5, but many Java developers lost sight of them in all the hoopla about annotations and generics. Additionally (and perhaps more truthfully), many developers avoid this package because they assume that it, like the problems it seeks to solve, must be complicated.
In fact, java.util.concurrent contains many classes that effectively resolve common concurrency problems, without requiring you to break a sweat. Read on to learn howjava.util.concurrent classes like CopyOnWriteArrayList and BlockingQueue help you solve the pernicious challenges of multithreaded programming.
