I've been storing collections of user settings in the Properties.Settings.Default object and using the Visual Studio settings designer (right-click on your project, click on Properties and then click on the Settings tab) to set the thing up. Recently, several users have complained that the data this particular setting tracks is missing, ...
I'm having trouble reading a compressed (deflated) data file using C# .NET DeflateStream(..., CompressionMode.Decompress). The file was written earlier using DeflateStream(..., CompressionMode.Compress), and it seems to be just fine (I can even decompress it using a Java program). However, the first Read() call on the input stream to de...
I need to write a few programs for a project I'm currently working on and I'm very much used to Visual Studio 2008 and I do not mind programming in Python but I need to have a comfortable GUI programming ontop of the language itself, and it has to be well integrated and fast. I know that's a lot to ask for but is there any such thing out...

I have a .NET service, based on ServiceBase: public partial class Service : ServiceBase Something initiates stop on this service. The stuff logged during service stop is consistent with a regular stop using SCM, but user states he didn't initiate it. I am not sure if that is some sort of crash, or user error. Since the OnStop method...
Let's say I have foreach(int x in xs[]) // xs is an array of int { x++; } Each time through the foreach is independent of the others. Is there a quick way to instruct the CLR to do each on a seperate thread or speed it up by natively parallelising it? Maybe it already knows to do this. I know you I could create threads and start t...
I was browsing the colors class's source in reflector and it's just a sealed class. But all members are static. So why would anyone create a copy of the Colors class? It lies inside: System.Windows.Media.Colors ...

All the examples I can find online demonstrate how to generate a new private/public pair and then encrypt/decrypt. ie. something like this: const int PROVIDER_RSA_FULL = 1; const string CONTAINER_NAME = "SpiderContainer"; CspParameters...
Similar to this question, except the console program being wrapped up in the WPF application produces coloured output, so it would be nice if I could capture the colour as well as the text. This is my first WPF program and I'm not sure how to go about finding/modifying the right control, currently I'm just using a TextBox which works bu...
Hello, I know there are MANY ways to achieve the following in NHiberante - i am not interested in other scenarios. What I am wondering is if it is possible to automatically generate a subquery using a many-to-one relationship and a query by example in NHibernate.

I wanted my FileOpenDialog to start at My Computer to show all available drives. You would assume you could set the InitialDirectory property to GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer), but this function returns "", which doesn't have the desired result. Digging around on Google I found this solution - which works... dlg...

This might be a weird question. After all, most people want to jump OUT of PB not IN. However, after careful analysis, I feel that Powerbuilder can get things done so much more rapidly than C# in the sense its a 4GL. Now PB is becoming .NET enabled, I was thinking perhaps its a good tool. My main focus is developing enterprise applica...

I have just started working on a reusable library. This library is going to be pretty big and since it involves communicating with external devices over various communication media (such as RS232, TCP/IP, Radio etc), I am thinking about providing support of performing operations that involves communication, asynchronously.
