I find that NetLocalGroupGetMembers is many times faster than using the AccountManagement name space. How can I optimally rewrite the following code to approach the speed of accountmaangement (assume recursive = false)?

Preface For some time now I've been using the readonly modifier for nearly all class fields. I use it for List<T> members, IDisposeable members, ints, strings, etc... everything but value types I intend to change. I tend to do this even when I would normally like to null a member on Dispose(). IMHO The advantages of not needing the i...

(This was meant to be a general hypothetical question, me whining that .NET was a pig and begging for reasons. It was not really meant to be a question about my specific app.) Currently I am rewriting some old C++ code in C#. We are porting over all legacy applications. I have C++ applications that take MAX 3% CPU. Mostly they use none....

Is there a simple ".Net" way to do hierarchical sorting Table... A|B|C ----- 1|2|5 2|8|4 2|4|3 3|7|2 4|4|1 clicking on A, then B would get you.. A|B|C ----- 1|2|5 2|4|3 2|8|4 3|7|2 4|4|1 The change being that I'm sorting (B) in context of (A) and so forth. Obviously this could be managed in the datasource, but was wondering if s...
I'm a relatively new employee at my current company, so I'm still "drinking from the fire hose" in terms of learning my way around the software and architecture. I've found myself dealing with some very large objects while writing unit tests, let's say for discussion a "SavedOrder", and I need to find where to find a particular piece of ...
I have successfully setup castle windsor using an xml configuration file and everything works fine. The only problem is that on a method I need Windsor to pass an existing instance to the constructor so I used container.Kernel.AddComponentInstance<IMyClass>(MyClassInstance); before the Resolve method but that does not work because Win...
I read all the questions related to this topic, and they all give reasons why a default constructor on a struct is not available in C#, but I have not yet found anyone who suggests a general course of action when confronted with this situation. The obvious solution is to simply convert the struct to a class and deal with the consequence...
I am referencing a COM library in Visual Studio, so it has automatically created the corresponding Interop assembly for me. I would like to do a GetType() on these com objects, but they always return System.__ComObject. Querying them for an interface works though: bool isOfType = someComeObject is ISomeComObject; //this works But what...

I have an executable name, like "cmd.exe" and need to resolve it's fully-qualified path. I know the exe appears in one of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
