Debugging an IE(7) plugin (BHO)

When I start debugging my IE7 BHO, I often have a strange case where IE 'hangs' and doesn't load its homepage for at least 3min (and probably never). IE itself is responsive (menus, min/max, close etc.) but even attempting to navigate also gives infinite load times. This happens in debug mode via VS2008, but not in release mode when the...

Can the compiler check methods on my .aspx files?

Hi, On a C#/asp.net (VS 2008) project I've just changed a signature of a method that is used in a lot of files in the "code in front".

Make an Existing Windows Form Inheritable

I didn't realize at the time I create this particular application that I'd need to reuse some of the components - some Windows forms and a class or two.
