I was just wondering, does the Silverlight runtime have to be downloaded/installed deliberately, or these days is there a chance that a fully-patched Windows machine will already have it? ...

I have an interesting challenge that I'm wondering if anyone here can give me some direction. I'm writing a .Net windows forms application that runs on a network and uses an SQL Server to save and pull data. I want to offer a mini "plugin" API, where developers can build their own assemblies and implement a specific interface (IDataMan...

I've been working with Xml Serialization/Deserialization in .net and wanted a method where the serialization/deserialization process would only be applied to certain parts of an Xml fragment. This is so I can keep certain parts of the fragment in Xml after the deserialization process. To do this I thought it would be best to create a ne...
Just tried creating a data connection to a SQL 2000 database in VS2010's Server Explorer using a .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (versus OLE) and found that it didn't work. VS2010 complained that I had to use SQL Server 2005 and up. This used to work in VS2008 (using .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server instead of th...

I've written a proof of concept using the Sharepoint web services and that looks promising, but the snag so far seems to be programmatically setting...
What are some best practices for using MEF in your code? Are there any pitfalls to take into account when starting your extensible application? Did you run into anything you should have known earlier? ...
The scenario I'm looking at is "This program uses Postgres. Oh, you want to just use it single-user for the moment, and put off having to deal with installing a database server? Okay, in the meantime you can use it with the embedded single-user database." The question is then which embedded database is best. As I understand it, the two ...

So instead of manually enabling and disabling it using the dialog every time is it possible to do it automatically with a #pragma or som...

I wish to be able to change the table a class is mapped to at run time, I can’t do this if all the mappings are defined with attributes. Therefore is there a way to define the mappings at runtime in code. (I would rather not have to maintain xml mapping files.) Say I have two tables: OldData NewData and sometimes I wished to que...
I need to calculate the location of intersections between multiple date ranges, and the number of overlapping intersections. Then I need to show which date/time ranges overlap each of those intersecting sections. It is slightly more complicated than that so I'll do my best to explain by providing an example. I am working in VB.Net, but ...
I am doing some custom serializing, and in order to save some space, i want to serialize the decimals as int, if possible value wise. Performance is a concern, since i am dealing with a high volume of data. The current method i use is: if ((value > Int32.MinValue) && (value < Int32.MaxValue) && ((valueAsInt = Decimal.ToInt32(value)) == ...
I'm struggling to get my head round how the HiLo generator works in NHibernate. I've read the explanation here which made things a little clearer. My understanding is that each SessionFactory retrieves the high value from the database. This improves performance because we have access to IDs without hitting the database. The explanation...
