How much does bytecode size impact JIT / Inlining / Performance?
I've been poking around mscorlib to see how the generic collection optimized their enumerators and I stumbled on this: // in List<T>.Enumerator<T> public bool MoveNext() { List<T> list = this.list; if ((this.version == list._version) && (this.index < list._size)) { this.current = list._items[this.index]; this...

How to reference GAC assemblies when integrating a CLR extension into SQL Server
I've created an assembly for CLR integration in SQL Server 2008. It has one reference to System.Web.Extensions, which is an issue because when I try to add my assembly, I get the following error: Assembly 'system.web.extensions, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35.' was not found in the SQL catalog.

Which CLR will an application that uses DLLs that have been compiled for different versions of .net use?
This is pretty obvious I think but I thought it better to ask: If an application (exe) is compiled to run on .net 3.5 and if the dlls it uses are compiled for .net 1.1 will the DLL automatically use the 2.0 CLR, i.e the parents? What about vice versa? If so, what about compatibility issues? ...
Finding number of runs for the .NET garbage collector for a executing application
Hello, My question is with regard to the .NET garbage collector. For any executing application, can I find out the number of times the GC has run (including the generation numbers for that collection) and how much time was spent on the same?

Are there attributes that affect how the CLR optimizes during a JIT compile?
As the question says, I am curious if any of you know about attributes that affect how the CLR will compile/optimize the bytecode. Is there an attribute that will affect code inlining decisions? Unroll loops? Are there undocumented attributes on classes generated for anonymous types/delegates? There's probably attributes to disable op...
