Is it possible to apply (and remove) Windows group policy settings using .NET? I am working on an application that needs to temporarily put a machine into a restricted, kiosk-like state. One of the things I need to control is access to USB drives which I believe I can do through group policy. I'd like my app to set the policy when it s...
I'm working on an application that needs to temporarily put a machine into a restricted, kiosk-like state. One of the things I need to block is access to attached USB drives. Is there any way to do this, via C#, other than messing with Windows group policy? (That approach is covered by my other SO question on this topic) I realize there...

I am writing a C# unit test to test C++/CLI functionality that involves threads. The C++/CLI code implements a DirectShow filter, the Windows API for rendering movies. This works thus that I create DirectShow objects, I tell it to run an AVI through my C++/CLI filters, waits until rendering is done, and then exits. My filter has a call...

BUT I've now tried to write a small demo app of acce...

Hello, I have this program which gets all the constructors from the mscorlib using a search function. The only problem is when I search for the constructors it will only filter ctor. This is a problem because the search is no use if it's constantly going search all files relating to ctor (which is all files). I'm displaying both the de...
With Type.GetProperties() you can retrieve all properties of your current class and the public properties of the base-class. Is it somehow possible to get the private properties of the base-class too? Thanks class Base { private string Foo { get; set; } } class Sub : Base { private string Bar { get; set; } } Sub s = ...
I have a plugin interface that allows third-party developers to add custom plugins into my application. Performance and application responsiveness is very important to me, so I provide explicit "Initialize" and "Shutdown" implementations in my interface contracts. However, one thing out of my control is constructor code that should not ...
