I have a C# project where I include some resources which I need to refer using the Uri-class. For this specific problem I have some shaders placed in a "Shaders" folder in the root of the project, but I've had this problem before with other files like images, etc. This far I've used the simple solution giving a fixed absolute path, and m...
I am just starting to work with using TransactionScope, I find that there are always unexpected things I run into that take forever to debug. I figure that having a consolidated list of these would be great for those "weird error" circumstances, plus to expand our knowledge of oddness in the platform. Some context on how I am going to...

Possible Duplicate: What Advantages of Extension Methods have you found? All right, first of all, I realize this sounds controversial, but I don't mean to be confrontational. I am asking a serious question out of genuine curiosity (or maybe puzzlement is a better word). Why were extension methods ever introduced to .NET? What b...
I have a .Net web service that processes AES encrypted data. The consumers of my service agree on a key/IV pair with me and that way we can pass data securely. I have a consumer using PHP that is using mcrypt to encrypt. mcrypt is padding with NULLs. I was not setting a pad (NONE) and therefore not able to decrypt the strings. I cha...
We have our web services written in Java running on JBoss. Our website is written in .Net 3.5. We've run into an issue where if a web service has a change, sometimes it breaks the website, and they end up having to be deployed at the same time. Right now I changed a web service, and the website code has been changed to match. The o...

My idea was, download all google documents to a folder, using the doc-download. That works. At the next run, I check the dates, if a remote document is newer, grab it again. If th...

Hi, I'm interested in sorting a collection, but also returning an index which can be used to map to the original position in the collection (before the sort). Let me give an example to be more clear: List<int> A = new List<int>(){3,2,1}; List<int> B; List<int> idx; Sort(A,out B,out idx); After which: A = [3,2,1] B = [1,2,3] idx ...
Hi This is bothering me for some time now. I put all my validation in a service layer. However when I unit test I usually pass everything through action method. Then that goes into my service layer what contains the validation. So I am not sure now if that is the best way to do it. Since usually they say you should just test that metho...
How does .NET locate the dll of the namespace I'm using? yeah, we do mention the path in /referene:c:\program files** but after building & deploying and when the software is installed on some user's machine. It may not be at the same path as I (developer) mentioned it would be. I mean it could be some where else right? So, how does .N...
