I'm writing a program for my workplace and because we work on computers damaged by hard drives we sometimes need to work with their registries before they'll boot. Most notably, we're trying to fix the 0x7b error that stems from the Registry Hive that controls the default Hard disk drivers being damaged and the computer wont boot. Micr...
Dear ladies and sirs. I have a type and an interface and I need to verify that the type implements the interface abstractly. I have set to write a brute force code using Reflection and it is pretty ugly. I am wondering if there is a better way than the brute force implementation I am doing now. Any ideas? Thanks.

I was just playing with the application and I'm a bit worried and confused as to why something like: http://ddd is a valid URI? What gives? I know it's because it's part of the RFC, b...
I'm looking for some guidance about how to chose an IoC container for an ASP.NET MVC application. What are the differences between (for example) StructureMap, Ninject, Castle Windsor, Unity, autofac and others? Can anyone give some hints or links to resource that might help chosing one library?

Is there an equivalent mechanism to the ItemsControl.ItemTemplate that works with a Grid? I have a collection of items and I'd like to present them as rows in a Grid so that I can assign Grid.Column to the individual elements inside the template (as opposed to rows in a list control). Is this possible in WPF using standard controls? ...
I generated unit tests on a generic class in VS 2008 and it used the type GenericParameterHelper in all of the places that a generic type was used. Is this a placeholder that should be replaced or does it have some use? What are the uses if any? Here's one of the tests it generated as an example: /// <summary> ///A test for Count ///</...
Hi, I have a .net Windows application in the production that has no access to Visual Studio(standard edition), and the only thing they can install is the express edition, which does not have the Just-In-Time Debugging option (the one which has debug button when it crashes).

[ this is getting TLDR...sorry... ] I work on a huge (mostly) C++/MFC application with hundreds of DLLs; it supports a dynamically-loaded "add in" mechanism via COM, thus add-ins can be developed in .NET by using COM interop. Some limited new functionality is developed in .NET w/o using this "add-in" mechanism (although still dynamicall...

I have a ContextMenuStip that contains a dynamically generated list of ToolStripMenuItem objects. The problem is that when there are too many of them to fit onto the screen, tiny scroll buttons appear at the top and at the bottom of the list, and scrolling through the list is a bit tedious.

This question is a result of a lunch-time conversation with a co-worker...I've read questions like WPF vs. Winforms...and I personally think that long term WPF is the way to go. The problem/question is what to do in the meantime. Yes, WPF certainly has its advantages; not being built on GDI/USER is one of them. But at this point in ti...
