I'm writing some code which needs to do string normalisation, I want to turn a given string into a camel-case representation (well, to the best guess at least). Example: "the quick brown fox" => "TheQuickBrownFox" "the_quick_brown_fox" => "TheQuickBrownFox" "123The_quIck bROWN FOX" => "TheQuickBrownFox" "the_quick brown fox 123" => "The...
I know that a private parameterless constructor works but what about an object with no parameterless constructors? I would like to expose types from a third party library so I have no control over the type definitions. If there is a way what is the easiest? E.g. I don't what to have to create a sub type. Edit: What I'm looking for is...
I am currently setting up a CI Build Server (using CI Factory) for a .NET application that relies on a set of licensed third-party controls. Once I have this working, several other projects will also be set up to build on the same server: these may also be dependent on various third party libraries (possibly different versions of the sam...
I start my application which spawns a number of Threads, each of which creates a NamedPipeServer (.net 3.5 added managed types for Named Pipe IPC) and waits for clients to connect (Blocks). The code functions as intended. private void StartNamedPipeServer() { using (NamedPipeServerStream pipeStream = new Name...

In FireFox and IE7, everything works great, in IE6, anything that would perform a callback (Partial Refresh, or calling a PageMethod/WebMethod) throws an error: Object Doesn't support this property or method Line: 5175 Char: 9 ...

For example, if my source has a date in a particular column I would like to be able to utilize a Datepicker control.

I read everywhere that the .net client Profile is helping spread .net 3.5 but up to my (now quite big) experience it is not: 1-On many computer it takes up to 1 hour to install , most however takes 30 min 2-the installer is not friendly at all : fast until 11%, blocking for 10 min, then resuming faster, then slowing again with no infor...
Hi On a given state machine workflow, how do we find out the possible transitions for a given role. In my scenario, only certain roles have the permission to perform certain activities. I have to get that list. The helper class StateMachineWorkflowInstance isn't helpful here as it just returns all the possible transitions, ignoring the ...
I downloaded the .NET 3.5 SP1 redistributable package (231MB). On my machine I have more than 1 language pack. When trying to install .NET 3.5 SP1, the installer connects to the internet and downlands language packs. If no internet connection exists, the installer has 5 (depending on how many language packs exists on my operating system...
I have found out (in a hard way) that a collection that is being enumerated cannot be modified within "Foreach" statement "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute." Now, the solution I came up with is to create a dummy collection of the same size that contains a dictionary key and enumerate over it to modify ...
Are there any design considerations that need to be made when targeting the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile? I know it's a subset of the full framework, but what is missing and how will I know if my application will require the Client Profile or the full framework? Has anyone successfully developed an application using the Client P...
Normally a WCF TCP channel will make a connect to a host then allow you to make method calls over it. I would like to have a service which makes outbound connections to the clients, but once the connection has been made then clients would be able to make method calls against my service as if it were a conventional connection. I suspect...
