I've written a .NET console app that wraps CuteFTP's Transfer Engine - a COM object (ftpte). The version I wrapped is CuteFTP 7.0. I'd like to also support the 8.0 version, as some of the clients I integrate with have that version. I have a reference in my Visual Studio project to the CuteFTP COM object... how can I reference the vers...

I have a system which is using phone numbers as unique identifiers. For this reason, I want to format all phone numbers as they come in using a normalized format. Because I have no control over my source data, I need to parse out these numbers myself and format them before adding them to my DB. I'm about to write a parser that can read ...
This is what I have written: if ((lstProperty[i].PropertyIdentifier as string).CompareTo("Name") == 0) Resharper put me an error (I am new with ReSharper... I am trying it) and it suggests me : if (((string) lstProperty[i].PropertyIdentifier).CompareTo("Name") == 0) Why is the second is NullException safe? For me both will crash ...
Is there a wrapper around the Win32 API for getting font information without actually instantiating an instance of the .NET Font class? For example, some fonts do not have a regular style so I need to determine what styles are valid for a font without actually creating an instance of it. ...
My app has a DataGridView object and a List of type MousePos. MousePos is a custom class that holds mouse X,Y coordinates (of type "Point") and a running count of this position. I have a thread (System.Timers.Timer) that raises an event once every second, checks the mouse position, adds and/or updates the count of the mouse position on t...
What are the API calls to copy a file that is currently locked. I'm hoping to be able to use .Net, but Win32 calls would be fine as well. Please feel free to chime in about the same functionality on Unix, or any other OS. ...
I'm working on a web product that is composed of many modular web applications. To the end user, it appears to be one single application, though various components are broken out into their own apps. Part of the reasoning for this is so that it can be easily scaled horizontally across multiple application servers. To facilitate easier ...
Is there an event that fires when a WCF service gets started or shut down? Hopefully, independent of whether it is self hosted or hosted in IIS? ...
I have two forms, form A and form B. These forms must differ in appearance, but they share a lot of logic. The problem is that this logic is tied to the appearance (validation on button click, events being fired, etc.). For example, I have a name field, and when the save button is pressed, I need to fire an event which causes the pare...
Hi, I'm getting something pretty strange going on when trying to read some data using the MySql .net connector. Here's the code: IDataReader reader = null; using (MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(this.ConnectionString)) { String getSearch = "select * from organization"; MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(getSe...

It seems that the following piece of HTML is ignored in IE7 but works ok in IE6/FF. It supposes to override all the html links to be opened in the desired frame <HEAD> <title>LeftPane</title> <base target="rightFrame"> </HEAD> The above code is the header of a left frame that holds an Infragistics UltraWebTree (tree menu) wh...
I have been searching for something that does this for a while now, but with no luck yet... We have an internal application that stores/uses text in HTML format. Now I am looking for a new control for editing it. I do not need a full-featured HTML editor, just something that can deal with simple formatting. It also needs spell check...
I'm considering migrating a project to managed code, but I've heard that the .NET runtime is huge--several times larger than my executable binary, in fact. That just seems like the tail wagging the dog to me. But I've also been told that some CLR implementations, such as Mono, are modular, and you can create a custom distribution for t...
I need to create several applications that all share a Microsoft SQL Server database. These include ASP.NET web applications, WPF desktop applications, and probably the odd console app every now and then. I'd like to use the ADO.NET Entity Framework for data access, extend its objects for my business logic, and bind those objects to co...
What exception should I throw if I encounter an illegal state - for instance, an initialization method that should only be called once being called a second time? I don't really see any built-in exception that makes sense. This seems like something that should be in the framework - am I not poking in the right spot? ...
I'd like to strip out occurrences of a specific tag, leaving the inner XML intact. I'd like to do this with one pass (rather than searching, replacing, and starting from scratch again). For instance, from the source: <element> <RemovalTarget Attribute="Something"> Content Here </RemovalTarget> </element> <element> More...
