Is anybody using the .NET profiler made by yourkit? I am looking for a good .NET profiler and stumbled upon the yourkit one. As I would purchase a single person license, it would cost 79 EUR for me, which is pretty ok imho. What I also like: the more or less easy to use and friendly GUI. But I am not very experienced in profiling .NET ...
I'd like to create a plug-in architecture where I can limit an assemblies API to something very restricted, i.e. only allow a whitelist of functions. Is it possible to restrict what functions/methods a plug in assembly can call? Can I do it using AppDomains? Does anyone have a simple example? ...
Hi, I'm interested in how plausible it would be to capture Win32 debug traces system-wide in the way DbgView does. I'm not interested in Kernel messages thankfully so I don't need any help there. This needs to be in C# but I'm happy with unmanaged/unsafe if necessary. Is there any global hook I can get or am I setting off down a diff...

Given this LINQ expression: items.Select( i => i.ToLowerInvariant() ).Except( keywords ) Is there a way to express that where you preserve the casing of the input, without using a Where()? The Where approach: items.Where( i => !keywords.Contains( i.ToLowerInvariant() ) ) I like the way the Except approach reads, but I don't want t...

How far along does software compiled for .NET 3.5 get before crashing on a system that only has .NET 2.0 installed? The application I am developing uses WPF and requires .NET 3.5, but I would like to display a user-friendly dialog (rather than crashing) if the user does not have it installed. Are there any standard ways to do this, or ...
Is there a way to decorate a method that will do some logging, then throw an exception unconditionally, as such? I have code like this: void foo(out int x) { if( condition() ) { x = bar(); return; } // notice that x is not yet set here, but compiler doesn't complain throw new Exception( "missed something." ); } If I try writi...

I have written a simple log4net wrapper. I was wondering whether this wrapper code could be improved. I am little bit worried about the reflection code thrown in into each Logging Function (Info, Warn etc) to get the Calling function name. Whether there could be any possible performance problems in due to this? namespace Acqueon.Pacer...

How do I wire this up using Castle Windsor ? The problem is general, but the specific scenario I need it for is a class that takes the full ...
I never worked with Silverlight before, but I have the requirement to build a fairly dynamic/interactive form to fill out. That leaves me the choice between two technologies I have not much experience with: JavaScript/jQuery or Silverlight.

Preferably using a Graphics object, how do you draw a string so that the characters are still oriented normally, but are stacked vertically? Hopefully this rough picture conveys what I mean: ...
Using ATL/COM-based technology as the basis of comparison, I'm looking for some recent and fairly in-depth benchmarks on .NET Windows forms & controls which compare the two frameworks (if any). For example: Application load/start-time. Resource usage (GDI handles, memory, etc.) Garbage collection pauses (obviously, applies to .NET onl...
