I have a basic task framework, where task such as doing some content processing, report generation, error log watcher, mailer, etc., is encapsulated in an ITask interface, which has a Run method, and other status related members. These tasks are either run continuously on a schedule, or on demand. They are hosted either as a windows serv...
What is the purpose of FullTrust when SkipVerification exists? I understand that FullTrust will give an assembly full access to any limitation that can be implemented through a CAS permission check. What I don't understand is why anyone would ever use it. We have access to SkipVerification which will completely skip the verification che...
Hi there, Im after some suggestions for naming a new assembly. The project is a multi-tier rich client app using WPF and we've got good names for all the assemblies (data and business layers) except for the front end. The assembly in question holds the actual user interface and classes for data binding. We want it to be something shor...
Good afternoon, we're having a semi-weird problem here with a legacy activex dll that needs to be used in a .net project and strangely it works perfectly fine (adding it as a reference and all its functionality) on one developer's machine, but on no other ones, the build-server complains about a faulty reference etc etc. Whenever e.g. ...

We are trying to restructure our SVN repository and include a lib folder under the trunk to house assemblies that the project depends on. I am curious to know how you guys are dealing with shared assemblies? Do you have multiple copies of them that span across different trunk lib folders? Do you have some kind of build process that will...
I have a few .Net assemblies, same version, same file name, but located at different location: Program folder C:\Windows C:\Windows\system32 GAC Now, which location's assembly will be loaded first? ...
Normally when you add a new assembly you have to go into Visual Studio and add a reference (the .dll is stored in the /bin directory). Since this website compiles on the fly, is it possible for me to just add the .dll to the live website, and then use that .dll in an .aspx page? Currently in Visual Studio I can't see the .dll unless I ...

Hello I am trying to create a custom descriptor ref in my parent pom which packages all dependencies with sources. I got the assembly.xml nailed down pretty well, but when I add it to my base POM assembly:assembly fails like so: [INFO] [assembly:assembly] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [E...
I need to add an assembly probing path at runtime, not through the element in app.config. Is there a way to do this? The reason is so that my XOML-only workflow that resides in it's own folder can know where to find it's related DLLs (i.e. containing custom Activities). Currently I am getting fusion errors because the CLR is probing t...
I have a mixed Winform/WPF application which frequently throws the exception: Could not load file or assembly <Full Assembly Name> or one of it's dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80131040) Error at object <Object Name> in markup file <file>.xaml T...

Following on from my previous question, what useful information can you retrieve from a .net assembly about the build process? I know I can look at the AssemblyVersion to get major and minor application version, and when the build took place. Can I find: Who did the build? i.e. user name. On what machine? Which O/S version? Anything ...

Hello, I am applying a new version of an assembly to a web project and have found that I am going to have to replace about 500 instances of the Register Assembly tag at the top of each web control. I considered registering it in the web.config but when I try this and remove the "Register" tag from the controls, i receive the "unrecognize...
I'm working on wrapper for some huge unmanaged library. Almost every of it's functions can call some error handler deeply inside. The default error handler writes error to console and calls abort() function. This behavior is undesirable for managed library, so I want to replace the default error handler with my own which will just throw ...
