Line numbers are great in the IDE when you are working with compiler errors - but they degrade overtime. In other words they change when code is added/removed/refactored and the line number that was used in a code review or stack trace may be in the wrong place. Is there an alternative to using line numbers to identify specific lines of...

A site heavily using a main iframe I inherited a legacy codebase/website, http://ninjawars.net . The iframes were in place before I started coding on the site. I constantly hear about the problems of iframes (security, accessibility, layout issues), and I'm pretty certain that iframes aren't friendly for search engines (a big minus). ...
Hi all, Does anyone have recommendations for an alternative library to SharpZipLib for full featured ZIP file handling using C#? The reason we're looking for an alternative is the licensing.
