I have a number of DLLs from a 3rd party company and most of them reference MSVCR80.DLL 8.0.5068.0 in their manifests. I installed VS.NET 2005 with no service packs and no OS updates and it installs MSVCR80.DLL 8.0.50727.42. So which version of VS.NET (or possibly another tool) was used to build these DLLs? My real problem is that I w...
For whatever reason, I can't seem to get the list of types in a referenced assembly. Not only that, I can't even seem to be able to get to this referenced assembly. I tried AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(), but it only returns assemblies that have already been loaded into memory. I tried Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetRefer...

Hi there, I'm currently in the process of researching the best development and deployment practices for our team. We have a load of similar code that we're going to start importing into a library of shared assemblies for use across our suite of (web & win) applications.

I want to know What are the exact differences between .NET dll and a normal dll. First question, what is "normal DLL" called? I'm using the word 'normal'. But it doesnt seem right? Because both follow the PE format. Yeah, I agree that .NET DLL has an extra section. Other than that every thing else is same. I also know that in .NET ...
Perhaps I am missing something obvious here but... I have built a reusable generic C# class library project say (A.dll) which references 3 other assemblies say (B.dll, C.dll and D.dll) However if I want to reuse my component A.dll in another project I still have to include the references to B.dll, C.dll and D.dll. Is there any way you...
My application consists of three assemblies: a single EXE which references a couple of DLLs. The DLLs are private to my application - they are used only by this executable. Should these assemblies be given a strong name? FxCop suggests that they should - for all of the assemblies it currently produces: CA2210: Sign <assembly> with ...
I'm using a .net assembly that was digitally signed (using comodo), and I noticed that the first time my application loads the assembly it connects to 'ocsp.usertrust.com' and 'crl.comodoca.com'. Is there a way to avoid these connections? ...

Hi, We've come up with a strategy to handle backward compatibility when there is a breaking change between two versions. We load the previous version assemblies in the current AppDomain, deserialize some data with the old version types and then convert these into their equivalent in the new version. Are there any pitfalls with this ap...
I am launching a VB.NET (2.0) application using WSHShell from a startup VBS script. This application has 2 images located in an /Images folder in the VB.NET project with a 'Build Action' of 'Content'. When the application runs it does some checking and then tries to show one of the 2 possible images as follows: imgStatus.Image = Image....

Hello, I have recently discovered that I am affected by this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg71515.html Well, at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg71529.html they say the work around is to create a global policy assembly and redirect the assemblies that way since it is not read from ...
I've been looking at a simple machanism for self-updating executable files. (I can't use Click-Once due to the nature of the application - trust me on this) I've noticed that an in-flight assembly can move itself to another location on disk, presumably because the executing assembly is actually an in-memory copy), and that the original...
I want to show my Silverlight 3 application's version number in the about box, but when I use a traditional .Net call like: Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version; I get a MethodAccessException on the GetName() call. How am I supposed to get the version number of my assembly? ...
Is there a way for class library to detect when it's loaded, in order to perform some initialization? I've tried adding Program.cs with static Main method, which didn't help. I tried setting Startup object in project properties, but only (None) is available. I know Win32 libraries have entry points, do .NET class libraries have them? ...
