We have several VB.NET websites running internal applications. These sites are often modified with minor changes, and are maintained on the server as uncompiled code. I'm looking for the best way to maintain classes so that we can reference them from multiple websites. Specifically, we're looking to put some common functions (error lo...
I get that error when trying to "view in browser" from an aspx file in Visual Studio 2008. The complication to the problem is that I'm not actually on the server itself, its a project that's been checked out from source control onto my local machine. I've seen the solution for the problem if I were on the server but my computer is not ...

I'm considering using a WWF state machine to keep track of the licensing state so we can be sure the software accurately follows the product licensing terms we state to our users. I've alread...
I have a WCF service client and it was generated using the /async argument with svcutil.exe, so it uses the asynchronous programming model. When I make multiple asynchronous requests with a single client though it serializes the execution of those requests. Here is an example that shows how I am executing the parellel requests. [TestM...

Hi, It is very common to create Dependency Injection container for the ASP.NET application so it lives while the application lives. I create the DI container in each request and release it at the end of the request. The main purpose is that any DI container supports Disposing objects when the container gets disposed. Additional: ...
I have a C# Windows Forms app. I have a TabControl on it, and depending on user settings, will dynamically use TabControl.Controls.Add to add a specific set of TabPages to the tabs. The TabPages aren't special, they just have buttons and text. Doing this dynamically, even for small amount of tabs, is slow as hell. Every "Add" call, o...

I have tried putting braces around the two conditions, and switching their position, but the EndedUsingApplication even still executes. EDIT: It has nothing to do w...
I need to protect software using a USB key. Can I just query a USB drive with WMI and obtain the PnPDeviceId from Win32_DiskDrive Class, and compare it with one already hashed and hard coded in the application? How secure is this? Can the PNPDeviceID property be modified? Is hardware coded? Any other idea? Logically the USB drives are g...

In other words I want to prevent it from running twice on the same computer, at the same time In any giv...
