I'm using the repository pattern to query our database using NHibernate. It makes it really easy to do things like: public T GetById(int id) {...} But that doesn't help much when someone start mucking with the querystrings to see things they aren't allowed to. To compound it, some objects are deeply nested children of the parent obje...

I'm building a web application on .Net and it will run on 64 bit server. Is there something special that I should do to take full advantage of 64 bits? Only thing that comes to mind is that RAM is cheap and "unlimited" for 64bit, maybe I should cache as much as possible. Edit: closing as duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions...

From a previous question I have seen that the CLR has workstation and server modes for its garbage collector. I know that these can be set from configuration using the gcServer element. If you don't specify this, does the CLR use some magic to decide for you whether the garbage collector should run in server mode? Something based on C...

Also, can this be done natively via InstallShield? Checking this via .NET would be acceptable as we can write custom actions, but if there is an IS call then that would be ideal. An...

In my case I have a library that relies on log4net and I am wondering if I should distribute log4net.dll (set the log4net reference to copy local) along with the release?

I have been wondering what are best practices when it comes to referencing 3rd party assemblies. A while ago I asked a question "Dependencies and references: what exactly should I reference" and received something to think about but I am not completely convinced.

Are there any utilities that can examine a set of managed assemblies and tell you whether any of the types in one namespace depend on any in another? For example, say I have a MyApp.BusinessRules namespace and don't want it to access directly anything in MyApp.GUI, but both namespaces are in the same assembly. My goal is to be able to w...
