What's the simplest way to code against a property in C# when I have the property name as a string? For example, I want to allow the user to order some search results by a property of their choice (using LINQ). They will choose the "order by" property in the UI - as a string value of course. Is there a way to use that string directly ...

My app is split up into a configuration tool which writes the configuration and a viewer which just reads and uses settings from the configuration. What techniques for storing the properties would would be recommended in this scenario? Would XML for the different categories be a good idea? The apps are developing in C#, on .NET 3.5 an...
Hi, When using Linq2sql everything automagically works. My experience is that going with the flow is not always the best solution and to understand how something internally works is better so you use the technique optimally. So, my question is about linq2sql. If I do a query and get some database objects, or I create a new one, someho...
I need to get the Flash Player ActiveX on the .NET Compact Framework in Windows CE 5. This thread says I need to create an "ActiveX Host" for Net CF in order to accomplish this. How do I do this? Does it mean that I program a COM container component for my ActiveX? (Flash Player) ...
Optimally I would like linq to use X database connections instead of 1 to speed things up. The only way now is to open X connections, and create X databasecontexts, and associate them. It would be easier if somehow I could tell linq to use X connections. Is this possible? Or is there another way to speed up database queries? thanks e...

Not all the developers on the team have TS so keeping the rules we are currently running in an FxCop file is required so everyone can run the same set, but it would nice for...

I have a few years of experience in cross-platform desktop development (Windows and MacOSX, not Linux (at least not for GUI apps)). Usually I create the GUI on MacOSX with Cocoa, and on Windows I use the old-fashioned Windows API. I have not used Qt because when I started it was still under the GPL license. I find the native experience ...

My application uses an MDI form, and there are instances where the end user will need multiple child windows open at a time. I need an easy way for the user to switch between windows, which made me think of using tabs kinda like Firefox, or like the tabs in the Visual Studio IDE up at the top where you can switch between open forms and ...
I remember seeing a link about it here where some people claimed it's 1000 times faster than the BCL Linq. Anyone used it here? Is it true? Also is Microsoft's PLinq gonna be along the same lines? Because it seemed to me like the above mentioned Linq was automatically parallel or something. And if that's the case, why isn't Microsoft ...
