Does anyone have a good technique for generating a valid xx.config file after you have finished creating your public class XXXConfigurationElement : ConfigurationElement { [ConfigurationProperty("blabhblahblah", IsRequired=true)] public YYYConfigElement Foobar { get { return (YYYConfigElement )base["blabhblahblah"]...
Hi everyone, I'm wondering what's good out there for AOP / crosscutting in .Net, along the lines of AspectJ. I see Microsoft has a policy injection application block; any other good stuff out there I should take a look at? ...
I'm working with an unmanaged library through P/Invoke and it uses three structs (although they all have the same basic layout, so I'll only post one): struct Agraph_t { int tag:4; int kind:4; int handle:24; char **attr; char *didset; char *name; Agdata_t *univ; Dict_t *nodes, *inedges, *outedges; Agr...
I have a Windows Service written in C# (.Net 3.5) and I need to store some state somewhere so that next time the service starts up, it knows where it left off. What is the recommended store for this type of thing? The registry? What if I just put some user settings in a Settings.settings file? Where would the user profile be for a servi...
I'm porting over a Java project that I wrote which uses the Apache Commons StringEscapeUtils class (particularly the escapeXml unescapeXml escapeHtml unescapeHtml methods). Is there a .Net equivalent? Or perhaps some totally logical bit of C# code that accomplishes the same thing? ...

Let's say I have the following: public void MakeMatrix(int matrixLength) { int[,] Matrix = new Matrix[matrixLength,matrixLength] PopulateMatrix(Matrix); PrintMatrix(Matrix); } In the PrintMatrix(int[,] Matrix) function, how to I find the length of only one dimension of the multi-dimension array? public void PrintMatrix(in...
In my app I allow the user to build a color, and then show him the name or value of the color later on. If the user picks red (full red, not red-ish), I want to show him "red". If he picks some strange color, then the hex value would be just fine. Here's sample code that demonstrates the problem: static string GetName(int r, int g, int ...
One of the great things about LINQ is that allows you to get information that's related to a collection without having to manually write code to iterate through the collection. Is there a way to use LINQ to populate a collection, thus avoiding the need to write a loop? For example, let's say I have the following code which works with...
I need to know whether the Windows taskbar is hidden or not. I believe there is no .NET method to do this, and also I have come across a lot of "how to hide and show the taskbar" samples, but I haven't seen anything based on what I am looking for. I am not familiar with the Windows API, so I find it hard to understand traditional Windows...

I have a list box that when an item is selected or deselected I want to save the changes to an xml file (so it is always up-to-date on the file and the user does not need a "save" button). While testing I occasionally am hitting this IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\MyPath\MyFile.xml' because it is being used by anot...
(C#, VS2008) In a program I'm working on, I've got lots of objects that all have an ID and implement IComparable so that List<>-s of the various objects are easily searchable by ID. Since I hate copy/pasting code, I thought I'd abstract that bit of functionality down to a base class, like so: using System; namespace MyProg.Logic { ...

Let's say I create a class "Planet" that can be inherited. One of the purposes of inheriting is to create a template with different default property values. Eg: Public Sub New MyBase.New MyBase.ForeColor = Red MyBase.Name = "Mars" etc. End Sub Now, to stop the defaults serializing in the InitializeComponent method, the...

This is what my service contructor looks like: public Service(string path) and I'm configuring unity like this: IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer(); container.RegisterType<IService, Service>(); which of course is not correct. The path parameter needs to be specified, and I would like this to be configurable from the Ap...
