Hi, I'm trying to think of a way that prevent others using your published dlls, for example let's say you create a cool light weight winui photo processing tool that's separated into several assemblies. one of them is your precious filters.dll assembly that basically does all of the core filtering work. Once you publish your application,...
I'd like to keep my components/assemblies clearly separated from a source code point of view but I also need in some circumstances (probably not relevant to expand) to package them in the same dll. Is it possible to package a number of .NET assemblies in a single dll? If so, How? IF possible, do you think it is a good idea? Why? Any ...
I would like to build a code library in IronPython and have another C# project reference it. Can I do this? How? Is this just as simple as building the project and referencing the dll? Is there any conflict with the dynamic aspect of it? ...
I have my signed assemblies here, in one of them I have a picture in the resources. The other one is granted to use it as it's own, so my other assembly can reference the picture, and everything works fine. Only if it wouldn't be for the Form Designer in VS2008. It does not see the Image. ( It might be ok, since it's linked at compile...
I am reading Bill Wagner's book Effective C#. In Item 32 he is advocating for developers to create smaller, more cohesive assemblies that can be reused more readily. However, in that same item he says: ... Extra Security checks also are done across assembly boundaries. All code from the same assembly same has the same level ...

Hello! I have about 20 classes for different messages and this number are growing. Each class has a unique ID, so I can transform the class on a byte[] with my own method of serialization and then transform a byte[] again on my class with this uniqueID. All my messages are children of a BaseMessage class that already implements the uniq...
Hello! I'd like to access to assembly version information of a service I "control" with ServiceController class. (ie.

Could you please explain what is an Assembly in C# or .NET? Where does it begin and where does it end? What important information should I know about Assemblies? ...
Microsoft has a handy reference of the various controls in the System.Windows.Controls namespace and which controls are included in the runtime. For any controls listed here that aren't included in the runtime, you have to include the reference to the System.Windows.Controls assembly and select "copy local" in Visual Studio. So that's ...
I have a server executable that talks to Active Directory to retrieve user information. In addition to AD, this exe allows customers to write their own plugins to talk to custom user directories.

I have a project that is built with native C++, as well as C++/CLI. I have the following components: Assembly A (C++/CLI) | uses Assembly B (C++/CLI) | uses Static Lib C (Native C++) I did a major re-write of Static Lib C, and it compiles, and other native projects that use it compile fine as well. None of Assembly B changed in t...

My DLLs are loaded by a third-party application, which we can not customize. My assemblies have to be located in their own folder. I can not put them into GAC (my application has a requirement to be deployed using XCOPY). When the root DLL tries to load resource or type from another DLL (in the same folder), the loading fails (FileNotFou...
I'm building a class project (seperate dll) that will contain various helper methods and common functionality, to be accessed by a range of different applications - an ASP.NET website, a web service and a Windows service. Is there any way that this neutral class can determine the type of application that is calling it (so it could, for ...
I have a binary image (a dll) which I wish to view the assembly for. I also have the PDB associated with the dll. Are there any tools out there that will allow me to open the binary image and navigate through the assembly, without needing to execute it? ...
I have a .net assembly that contains data access code (a bunch of Typed Datasets and helper classes) that is quite large on disk (~2.5MB). What can I do to work out why it's so big and make it smaller? ...
I've got a problem I can't find any solution for. I have a textfile containing Serialized objects. I need to extract that data. I have the code of class that was used to serialize and the entities but not the original assembly. I can't deserialize this because the serialization class wants the exact same assembly to deserialize as the o...
