Hi all, In your actual programming experience, how did this knowledge of STACK and HEAP actually rescue you in real life? Any story from the trenches? Or is this concept good for filling up programming books and good for theory? ...
We have a small wrapper class that uses ResourceManager to load string resources from assemblies. We also have some unit tests that check it loads the correct details from the correct assemblies for different cultures, assemblies etc. Our tests are therefore currently dependant upon resources we have constructed for the test.

I am thinking of using Microsoft PEX tools for my project, but I would much rather use NUnit instead of MSUnit. Apparently, PEX Extensions project was specifically created for that, but it has no releases now, and appears to be dead. Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks! ...
Accommodating legacy database tables that were designed specifically for the IBM mainframe screens they represent has caused me much aggravation. Often, I find the need to break a string into multiple lines to fit the table column width as well as the users who are still viewing the data with terminal emulators. Here are two functions I'...
Isn't it much more elegant and neat to have an IStringable interface? Who needs this Type.FullName object returned to us? EDIT: everyone keep asking why do i think it's more elegant.. well, it's just like that instead of IComperable, object would had CompereTo method, that by default throwing exception or returning 0. there are objec...
Hello Does anyone know what Join algorith does LINQ performs with its Join operator. Is it NestedLoop, Merge, or HashSet? Is there any way to specify a different one, if supported? Regards Albert ...
Apparently (because the documentation doesn't say any word of this), in a .NET Transaction (using TransactionScope), the rollbacks are done in the same order as the commits would be, and in the same order as the registrations were done. Logically, rollback should be in reverse order: If an action sequence is "do A" then "do B", my rollb...

A colleague and I are going back and forth on this issue and I'm hoping to get some outside opinions as to whether or not my proposed solution is a good idea. First, a disclaimer: I realize that the notion of "optimizing DateTime.Now" sounds crazy to some of you. I have a couple of pre-emptive defenses: I sometimes suspect that those ...
I've been asked to add a step to a workflow I've written but there are already many documents currently inside this workflow that I would like to switch over to the new workflow. Can this be done easily? I've looked on google and places like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/357032/how-to-upgrade-a-long-running-sharepoint-workfl...
I have been working with webservices for over 2 years now. I have lot to say about services like Soap 1.2, WSDL, the way communication is taking place and 100 of other things. I have seen people talking about their heavy ASMX background and web services expertize. But, when it comes to implementation I don't find anything but adding a w...
Just overriding Equals in TKey does not help. public override bool Equals(object obj) { /* ... */ } ... Equals will never be called ... ... adding this doesn't help too: public override int GetHashCode() { return base.GetHashCode(); } BUT, this helps: public override int GetHashCode() { return 0; } Now, I can look up k...
Its been a long saga of deploying my .Net uploader but I'm very close. I created my .Net uploader dll in Visual-Studio, generate an installer for it with InstallShield and digitally sign it (in InstallShield). I then put that CAB file on my server and setup the html page like so: uploader.html: <html> <body> <script src="/include...

Given the example source code below, is it possible for someone to see the value of _secret using a disassembler? I didn't see a way to get at the value via Reflector, but I haven't used it very much. Assume the code is not obfuscated in any way. class Foo { private string _secret = @"all your base are belong to us"; public v...
I have come across this problem before and I have never understood the reasoning for it: in a desktop application developed in .Net the connection string is stored as a read-only value in the application's app config. In every windows application I've written, the database needs to be set by the user: if I'm deploying an application to...
We have several domain objects which need to support both read-only and read-write modes; they currently have a bool Locked property for this--when Locked attempts to alter properties on the object result in an InvalidOperationException. The default state for the objects is Locked. The object-initialization syntax of C# 3 introduces a ...
