After migrating my Visual Studio 2003 projects to VS2005 (or VS2008) my forms would still be inside a single file. New forms on VS2005 and VS2008 are created using partial classes where all code generated by the editor is kept in the Designer.cs file. Since the VS2005 form creates is a much better way of dealing with forms, I would lik...

I am integrating a third party C-based SDK into my .NET application. The application will run as a Windows service on a server, so it should not interact with the user in any way. Unfortunately, in certain error conditions it insists on calling MessageBoxA, presumably to report that something bad has happened. When this happens, the s...

In a web app, I need to have only one instance of a class called ProcessManager. One way is to make it a singleton. The other way is to use the HttpApplicationState to make sure I always access the same instance, like this: public static ProcessManager ProcessManager { get { HttpApplica...
I think this is more of a perfmon glitch, actually. Here's what's going on: 1. I create a counter category, and add some counters to it. They work fine. 2. I decide that I need some extra counters in that category. 3. I delete that counter category, and re-create it with new counters added. At this point, all old counters are working, b...
I have a thread thats analyzing a file and making transactional calls to the database, each transaction has a audit entry as part of its transaction. Is there anything vastly wrong with calling Thread.Abort() to stop the processing of the file? Rather than scatter ugly safe spots everywhere? The file will be closed after the Abort call...
I have an expander control with it's IsExpanded property bound to a bool in the mvvm model. The binding works fine until you dont touch the expander. Once you click the arrow in the expander to expand, the binding stops working. Setting the bool ShowPreview to false in the model doesn't collapse the expander. <Expander Name="pExpander"...

I'm trying to figure out if fan/business pages are conceptually similar to regular user pages. My end goal is to publish events from a third-party Web site (new content, announcements, etc.) into the FB page that promotes the third-party site. I'm not sure where to start exactly. Been looking at the .NET Facebook SDK, and it seems focus...
Working on a general Automation tool, considering moving from Win32 Message hooks to .net UI Automation, however the feature set of UI Automation doesn't cover all we have in Win32 and still doesn't seem to support all the GUI on Windows. One such example is Windows Live Messenger. Windows Live messenger 2009 is still using the older D...

We have a number of castle windsor components declared in a config file. Some of the components somewhere deep inside might require the services of other components. The problem is when the application is being closed and the Container is being disposed. During Dispose()/Stop() of the Startable/Disposable component (A) when it requires...
Back when Crystal Reports still supports ActiveX, we have crystal reports that were built to use ODBC data source point to an Access or SQL database. In run time, we would change the report to use OLE DB (ADO) instead of ODBC, change the server name, database name, username, password to ones specific to the user, and run the report, it w...
