we have a set of usercontrols complied to a dll. we could just load the controls using their classnames by like ASP.theusercontrol_ascx blah = new ASP.theusercontrol_ascx(); but if we have dynamic data and load the controls based on the filename (or the control name), how can we load them like Page.LoadControl("TheURL/theusercontrol.asc...

Hi there, I work on a parallel build tool which builds (among lots of other things) windows programs of various types. One part of our tool which makes life alot easier for our users is the automatic dependency scanning of EXE and DLL files.

I'm reading up on assemblies, and there are two types; static, which comes in .dll form, and exectuable, which comes in .exe form. As far as I can work out, an 'executable assembly' is just another name for a compiled applic...

I want to write a small installer app that installs a web site and creates IIS virtual directories. The app should run on Windows XP/Server 2003 (IIS 6) as well as on Vista/2008 (IIS 7).

Hi, I'm working on a .NET WinForms application that loads forms and other UI elements from separate assemblies at runtime. This works well. However, one of the assemblies I'm loading has a form that uses either GeckoFX or WebKit.NET to embed a web browser control. When I try to load that assembly with Assembly.CreateInstance() I'm ge...
I have a simple Windows Forms (C#, .NET 2.0) application, built with Visual Studio 2008. I would like to support multiple UI languages, and using the "Localizable" property of the form, and culture-specific .resx files, the localization aspect works seamlessly and easily. Visual Studio automatically compiles the culture-specific resx fi...

Most of my project is written in VB.NET (F3.5), and some of it is using SQLite and libcrypt via C++/CLI for performance reasons (so I cann...

This object also holds some global varibles which can not be shared. All objects that are in the process can not share any data with one anoth...
