Hi, I recently migrating my ASP.Net MVC 1 application from VS.Net 2008 / C# 3.5 to VS.NET 2010 / C# 4.0. I massively used a builder to get URL strings from the strongly typed calls. It looks like this : // sample call : string toSamplePage = Url.To<SampleController>(c => c.Page(parameter1, parameter2)); the code is added as an exten...
I would assume that the more dynamic nature of .NET 4 would improve the possibility of mocking. (but I may be wrong) Are there mocking frameworks that take advantage of .NET 4? If yes, which does it best? Conversely, are there mocking frameworks that do not even run on .NET 4? ...
I have a requirement in which there is a list of records on a page. When a user clicks on one of the individual items, a modal popup would display the details along with the ability to make changes and save. The way I envision this would be developed is to have the markup on the list page but keep it hidden. When a user clicks on one of...
Using .NET 4, how do I add custom properties to a document?

I cannot seem to find documentation for this that applies to .NET4/interops v14. ...
I'd like to know if anyone tried new .NET 4.0 Memory Mapped Files features? I know that they are as old as OS but native handling in .NET is new. Has anyone been able to test this and say something about performance? I'm quite interested in access time to random parts of binary file, write speed and so on. Also performance comparsion ...
I've got some code that generates various Func<> delegates using System.Linq.Expressions and Expression.Lambda<Func<>>.Compile() etc. I would like to be able to serialize the generated functions into an assembly for later use. In the past I've done some stuff with System.Reflection.Emit but now that Linq Expressions I'd rather not go tha...

I have a bit of a strange question. I'm building a multi tenant website with Asp.net MVC 2 and running it on IIS7. I'm trying to get my dev environment setup properly for testing but I'm having a weird issue though. I created the website in IIS and pointed the directory to the location of my source code.

Client profile mode is the subset of Full .NET Framework and it eliminates the designer related assemblies which are unnecessary for the end user deployment and etc. Everything looks great and it really helps us to solve the deployment huge data transfer problem. But what is the need of Client profile project type as the default one? I ...
IronRuby and VS2010 noob question: I'm trying to do a spike to test the feasibility of interop between a C# project and an existing RubyGem rather than re-invent that particular wheel in .net. I've downloaded and installed IronRuby and the RubyGems package, as well as the gem I'd ultimately like to use. Running .rb files or working i...
Windows 7 reports the number of touch points available to the system under the computer properties - is there a way to get that info in .NET 4? ...
I'm updating a WinForms application that uses a BackgroundWorker to do something useful when a button is pressed. The trouble is, "something useful" iterates sequentially through a long list of things to do, and can take quite a while to complete. I'm considering having the button press event create multiple BackgroundWorkers instead o...

I'm running into some problems using my .NET 4.0 libraries in .NET 2.0 applications. I guess I was under the impression that being a Windows DLL, my other .NET apps would be able to access it. Is this not the case? Any recommendations in terms of supporting applications in both environments? EDIT: I realize that I'd need to install t...
SqlServerCe doesn't seem be supported in .net 4.0. But since I needed an embedded database in my application, I gathered all the necessary 3.5 dlls and included them so that my wpf application could use SqlServerCe as its embedded database. The application works on my development machine, but now that I've created an installer, and am i...
I'm building a C# class library, and using the beta 2 of Visual Web Developer/Visual C# 2010. I'm trying to save information about what version of .NET the library was built under. In the past, I was able to use this: // What version of .net was it built under? #if NET_1_0 public const string NETFrameworkVersion = ".NET 1.0"; ...
Hi, I'm deciding on an ORM for a big project and was determined to go for ADO.NET Entity Framework, specifically its new version that ships with .NET 4. During my search for information on EF I stumbled upon ADO .NET Entity Framework Vote of No Confidence which I'm not sure how to take. The Vote of No Confidence was written sometime in...
Does anyone know the answer and/or have an oppinion about it? Since tuples would normally not be very large I would assume it would make more sense to use structs than classes for these. What say you? ...
When building code like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/js/js.js")%>"></script> or <input type="image" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/img/submit.png")%>" /> Should I use Url.Content or ResolveUrl()? What's the difference? ...
