Edit: I'm well aware of that this works very well with value types, my specific question is about using this for reference types. Edit2: I'm also aware that you can't overlay reference types and value types in a struct, this is just for the case of overlaying several reference type fields with each other. I've been tinkering around wit...
I have a REST web method in .NET 3.5: [OperationContract] [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = Verbs.Get)] public string GetBar() { return "foo"; } The response gets formatted as <string>foo</string> while I would prefer <bar>foo</bar> instead. Does anyone know how to do that? I feel I am missing something obvious. ...

I have heard that the .NET 4 team has added new classes in the framework that make working with threads better and easier. Basically the question is what are the new ways to run multithreaded tasks added in .NET 4 and what are they designed to be used for? UPD: Just to make it clear, I'm not looking for a single way of running parallel...
When serializing a C# class using XmlSerializer, the attributes/elements representing the properties of the class will have the same names as they do in the source code. I know you can override this by doing like so: [XmlAttribute("num")] public int NumberOfThingsThatAbcXyz { get; set; } I'd like the generated XML for my classes to b...
Yes, it is possible to generate tests on boundary values for functions like "Sum" or "Divide". Pex is a good tool here. But more often we create tests on business behaviour. Let's consider example from classic Beck's tdd book: [Test] public void ShouldRoundOnCreation() { Money money = new Money(20.678); Assert.AreEqual(20.68,money.Amou...

Hi, Something I don't enjoy about programming is learning a new API. For example, right now I'm trying to learn Windows Identity Foundation. Its frustrating because I'm going to spend the bulk of the time learning how a few classes work and actually only write several lines of code. In .NET, there are so many types that I seem to spe...

I need a code example (simple summ of a,b values will be ok) Please help I need something like this ( I know ActionScript so I will write in it): public function sum(valueA:int, valueB:int):int { var summ:int = valueA + valueB; return summ; } How to translate it into C#?...

EDIT: It kind of occurred to me too late (?) that all the code I posted in my first update to this question was way too much for most readers. I've actually gone ahead and written a blog post about this topic for anyone who cares to read it. In the meantime, I've left the original question in place, to give a brief glimpse at the proble...
In F#, there's the NativePtr module, but it seems to only support 32 bit offsets for its’ add/get/set functions, just like System.IntPtr does. Is there a way to add a 64 bit offset to a native pointer (nativeptr<'a>) in F#? Of course I could convert all addresses to 64 bit integers, do normal integer operations and then convert the resu...
