I want something along the lines of the service calling Process.Start("consoleapp.exe") and getting some information returned back from the app, ideally just returning a number. How do I do this? Edit: I figure it must be: Process.Start("myapp.exe").ExitCode - but how do I se...
I've got a class which has properties referenced to couple of interfaces and classes. Now I'm trying to transfer this one class via WCF (named pipes), what's the best way to deal with it? Shall go into all referenced interfaces, class and mark stuff as <DataContract()>, <Serializable()> and <DataMember()>, which means at least 6-10 c...
I have a developer that has asked me if there is a way to exclude certain code from deployment. We run debug and release builds directly from most recent code in source control. She'll check in code and not want it to be included in the build for various reasons. (The root of this is probably a sort of, design on the fly mentality, but ...
I'm looking for an efficient way to index and search numeric fields in Lucene.Net. Right now my need is for integer values only. I want to search by ranges of values (between x and y, more than x...). Right now I'm indexing the number as is and manually creating clauses for each value in between the two values, but it quickly generates ...

Hi All, I have a design scenario that is giving me a few headaches and I'm wondering what solution is the best solution. I have a dashboard-like application that polls information from a service that requires a java RMI connection to gather real time data.

After spending a little time wondering why my app was running a particular scenario very slowly with the debugger attached, I discovered that this was due to having a conditional breakpoint (whose condition was never being met). This seems reasonable, as the CPU would signal the breakpoint and VS would need to evaluate the condition bef...

I was trying to determine the overhead of the header on a .NET array (in a 32-bit process) using this code: long bytes1 = GC.GetTotalMemory(false); object[] array = new object[10000]; for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) array[i] = new int[1]; long bytes2 = GC.GetTotalMemory(false); array[0] = null; // ensure no garbage collectio...

I would like to get notification of when any/all programs are being actively used. To do this via windows hooks I'd use an unmanaged C++ dll that talks to C#. There is an article that explains this process here. I was wondering though if there is any alternative to using system hooks though. ...
I want to pass a big char* from cpp to .Net (preferably using COM). What is the best way (in terms of memory)? If I use CComBSTR it takes a lot of memory both when creating the BSTR in CPP and especially when moving it to .Net inside the COM call. ...
I'd like to add a DataTable to more than one DataSet without calling DataTable.Copy(). Simply copying the DataTable doubles the amount of data in memory and causes me to manage its changes. This problem exists because I am implementing a detail tables solution where a detail table can have more than one master. If it helps, consider thi...
