I'd like to use C#, Java and PHP in an upcoming project. What potential pitfalls should I watch out for? Are there advantages to using multiple platforms for a project? The target development team is people with varying backgrounds working over the internet on this project. Edit: Please be specific and let me know what possible proble...
I have converted this existing C# .NET 2.0 code (which appears to take in a string with any characters and return only the numbers in that string): private static string StripMIN(string min) { string result = string.Empty; int digit = 0; for (int i = 0; i < min.Length; i++) { if (int.T...

I'm building a socket application that need to shuffle a lot of small/medium sized files, something like 5-100kb sized files to a lot of different clients (sort of like a web server, but still not quite). Should I just go with the standard poll/epoll (linux) or async sockets in winsock (win32), or are there any methods with even more pe...

I want to evaluate the current DataItem being bound to a repeater and remove it from being added if my condition meets. I would have thought that setting e.Item.DataItem to Nothing would work, but it does not. Any ideas how to not add a DataItem to the repeater when a certain condition meets? Protected Sub rpt_OnItemDataBound(ByVal send...
So, I'm sort of a beginner on C# and I'm working on this project that needs a connection to a MySQL database. I got MySQL's own library for this and, just to test the connection, I wrote this code: public object connectionTest() { MySqlConnectionStringBuilder builder = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder(); builder.Server = "local...

I have a Silverlight 3 application, which 95% of the time is successfully requesting data from a WCF Service (in the same webapp) and displaying it. This happens infrequently, usually if I hit the service a bunch of times quickly, but sometimes it'll happen on a single lone request. Every once in a while, if I request a lot of transac...
I have a long running, compute and disk intensive task that needs to run nightly on Window Server 2008; my Framework of choice is .NET 3.5 sp1. There's a chance this task could fail too for any number of reasons (i.e. lack of disk space) and I'd like to make sure errors are handled & reported reasonably. Also, this task would require p...
WCF binding chooser algorithm I have watched a speak at a TechEd conference that showed a simple algorithm for choosing a WCF binding. I can't find this algorithm but I remember some of the main ideas: If your WCF service will have non-.NET clients choose Http Soap If your WCF will have .NET clients in other machines choose Net Tcp If...
In a Silverlight 3.0 app, there is a shell page that serves as the navigation piece for a number of child controls and other Silverlight pages. The Silverlight pages are included in the shell page via the Frame object (). The pages are rotated dynamically via the code-behind file, so there isn't a direct reference to them in the xaml. ...
Hello, I am starting a new project with NHibernate, ASP.NET MVC 2.0 and StructureMap and using NUnit and Moq for testing. For each of my controllers I have a single public constructor into which an ISession is being injected. The application itself works just fine, but in terms of unit testing I essentially have to mock an ISession in or...

I've got an app that publishes and updates from an http update location (I publish to the ftp site of the host, and update from the website). The publish.htm page is very handy as I can install the app on any machine, anywhere without needing media. The problem is, so can anyone else. How can I secure the update location so that only au...
