Consider the following code: abstract class SomeClassX<T> { // blah } class SomeClassY: SomeClassX<int> { // blah } class SomeClassZ: SomeClassX<long> { // blah } I want a collection of SomeClassX<T>'s, however, this isn't possible since SomeClassX<int> != SomeClassX<long> and List<SomeClassX<>> isn't allowed. So my solution ...
When using APIs handling asynchronous events in .Net I find myself unable to predict how the library will scale for large numbers of objects. For example, using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.UccApi library, when I create an endpoint it gets events when phone events happen. Now let's say I want to create 1000 endpoints. The number of even...
When I build a unit test project before the tests are executed the test output is copied to a TestResults folder and then the tests are executed. The issue I'm having is that not all the files in the Debug/bin directory are copied to the TestResults project. How can I get a file that is copied to the Debug/bin directory to also be copi...
Is there a good way to read RAW image files (especially Canon CR2 and Adobe DNG files) as GDI+ bitmaps that is reasonably fast? I found an example running under WPF that would read an image using any installed image codec and then display it in an image control. And I modified this example to create a GDI+ bitmap by writing the WPF imag...
I've used both and I've found MySql to have several frustrating bugs, limited support for: IDE integration, profiling, integration services, reporting, and even lack of a decent manager. Total cost of ownership of MSSQL Server is touted to be less than MySQL too (.net environment), but maintaining an open mind could someone point out any...
I have a project with Crystal Reports files that doesn't seem to build correctly if I upgrade it to VS 2005 and .NET 2.0. I think the reason is that the new version of Crystal Reports is incompatible with the older report format. Since I am now running Vista, and .NET 2003 doesn't work correctly on Vista, I want to be able to build usi...

Hi guys I interested in knowing what fields people actual capture and use when logging within their applications when using loggers like log4net. This can range from debugging to testing to production and can be for thick client apps but I am thinking more about semantics of web apps (i.e. asp.net). Also, in the context of web (and ...
As a programmer, I feel much safer knowing that the frameworks being 'sold' to me are actually in use by their creators to produce real applications, as this gives me some reassurance that they will actually solve some set of problems, and are not just architecture astronautics. I remember years ago in the days of .NET 1.0 and 1.1, ther...
How do you insert/update a column through Linq To SQL and Linq To SQL use the default values? In particular I'm concerned with a timestamp field. I've tried setting that column to readonly and autogenerated, so it stopped trying to put in DateTime.MinValue, but it doesn't seem to be updating on updates. ...
