Hi everyone, I'm just getting started with learning about Unit testing (and TDD in general). My question is does the latest version of NUnit support working in VS2008 with .NET 3.5? I've looked at the documentation pages at NUnit and they don't mention it. If anyone has worked with it in 3.5 are there any limitations or features tha...
I'd like to use regular expressions in selecting elements using the match function. I'd prefer not to use an external library (such as saxon) to do this. ...
I've got a situation where I have a DLL I'm creating that uses another third party DLL, but I would prefer to be able to build the third party DLL into my DLL instead of having to keep them both together if possible. This with is C# and .NET 3.5. The way I would like to do this is by storing the third party DLL as an embedded resource ...
Hi, My team is about to start a new enterprise wide ASP.NET development project, quite possibly the largest undertaken by my department so far and the largest project that I've ever worked on. I'm looking for a good logging solution for the system. There are two questions I have if anyone knows the answer. Firstly what logging tool...
I am working on an application that is about 250,000 lines of code. I'm currently the only developer working on this application that was originally built in .NET 1.1. Pervasive throughout is a class that inherits from CollectionBase. All database collections inherit from this class. I am considering refactoring to inherit from the g...

I am using VSTO with Excel 2007 to generate PivotTables and PivotCharts dynamically. I am having a problem when I need to have a PivotField in more than one column. To accomplish this I create a PivotTable in Excel and serialize its properties into an XML document, which I then use to rebuild the PivotTable. Ie: as a Value and as a Co...
With the advent of new features like lambda expressions (inline code), does it mean we dont have to use delegates or anonymous methods anymore? In almost all the samples I have seen, it is for rewriting using the new syntax. Any place where we still have to use delegates and lambda expressions won't work? ...
Before I do this I figured I would ask if it was the best way. Each "Vendor" object has a "Bucket" object. In my repeater I need to display some properties from Vendor and some from Bucket, also some images populated by FileSystem that are linked to the vendor. I figured the best way to do this is bind the repeater with the vendor object...
What is the best way of dynamically writing LINQ queries and Lambda expressions? I am thinking of applications where the end user can design business logic rules, which then must be executed. I am sorry if this is a newbie question, but it would be great to get best practices out of experience. ...
With the introduction of .NET 3.5 and the IQueryable<T> interface, new patterns will emerge. While I have seen a number of implementations of the Specification pattern, I have not seen many other patterns using this technology. Rob Conery's Storefront application is another concrete example using IQueryable<T> which may lead to some new ...
I've started using Visual Studio 2008 and it keeps asking me to upgrade my 2.0 website project to 3.5 every time it opens. What effectively happens when I "upgrade" a website project from 2.0 to 3.5 in Visual Studio? Does it update my web.config? How exactly does it change my project/website/code? Is there a potential for any 2.0 met...
Ok, so we have clients and those clients get to customize their web facing page. One option we are giving them is to be able to change the color of a graphic (it's like a framish-looking bar) using one of those hex wheels or whatever. So, I've thought about it, and I don't know where to start. I am sending comps out this week to my xht...
I regularly want to access properties on possibly null objects: string propertyValue1 = null; if( myObject1 != null ) propertyValue1 = myObject1.StringProperty; int propertyValue2 = 0; if( myObject2 != null ) propertyValue2 = myObject2.IntProperty; And so on... I use this so often that I have a snippet for it. You can short...
Hi All, We have a production machine and are trying to slowly introduce some 3.0 and up features on our web application. 3.5 is installed but I would like to upgrade to SP1, I would just like to know if it requires a restart of the machine in the end so I can schedule some down time. Thanks! EDIT: so it did require the restart, thanks...
Hello, I'm having a little problem and I don't see why, it's easy to go around it, but still I want to understand. I have the following class : public class AccountStatement : IAccountStatement { public IList<IAccountStatementCharge> StatementCharges { get; set; } public AccountStatement() { new AccountStatemen...
Well, the question is pretty much in the title. I've just installed Visual Studio SP1, and now when I want to import a Entity Model from a database, it doesn't display the SQL Anywhere provider anymore. Does anyone know if there is a patch or some way to make it work with SP1? Thanks. ...
I've been using Winforms since .NET 1.1 and I want to start learning WPF. I'm looking for good resources for a beginner in WPF. What should I read, what Tools I need and what are the best practices I need to follow. ...
Has anyone tried the ActiveRecord Intro Sample with C# 3.5? I somehow have the feeling that the sample is completely wrong or just out of date. The XML configuration is just plain wrong: <add key="connection.connection_string" value="xxx" /> should be : <add key="hibernate.connection.connection_string" value="xxx" /> (if I understa...
There are a lot of new features that came with the .Net Framework 3.5. Most of the posts and info on the subject list stuff about new 3.5 features and C# 3 changes at the same time. But C# 3 can be used without .Net 3.5. Does anyone know of a good post describing the changes to the language? (Besides the boring, explicit official specs a...
