Consider these components: MyApp.Client.exe: client application MyApp.Service.exe: Windows service that hosts the server MyApp.Server.dll: server implementation MyApp.Sh...
Hello, When I create a dataset in VS 2008 and add a column named "Date" with DataType = System.DateTime and NullValue = 9999-12-31T23:59:59 this gets changed, when running the MSDataSetGenerator tool, in the designer file to private static System.DateTime Date_nullValue = global::System.DateTime.Parse("12/31/9999 23:59:59"); This gi...

I've read many articles on how to create transparent labels but it seems to me that my particular case is not covered. Very simply I have a label placed in the upper right part of the form, which in fact is part of the menu strip. The label displays some info to the user but I wish it were transparent. Ive tried various methods including...

What do you think of Microsoft's new develeopment tool "Lightswitch"? Is it worth to take a look on it? I am not sure, who is the target group of this new RAD tool? It seems to me as a kind of Access or Foxpro for Silverlight!?!? Makes it sense to deal with it as a "normal" experienced developer? ...
VB2005 and SharpSSH. Using the library to connect to a remote server and copy a file. I have the process working fairly well but have some smaller things which I cant seem to resolve as documentation for the library is fairly thin. I have two routines working.

I'm creating a program that installs a keyboard hook to capture all keys and display some text related to them. However, I've hit upon a snag, and that is some keys change behavior when the hook is installed. I'll see about posting a small, but complete, test program, but for now I'll just describe the problem. The problem exhibits it...

I had some problems figuring out a good title, but hopefully the code examples in this post are clear enough. Is it possible, with the help of expression trees (or some other technique), to traverse the whole method "call stack"? Worded differently: When I get an expression tree from an Action-delegate, I would like to traverse inside ...
This is a repost of another thread i created. I think my first post was a little rhetorical in nature so it was closed so hopefully i can word my question better. There seems to be a push by some of the industry heavy weights to recommend using an ORM over the repository pattern and building your on DL Layer. So in your application lay...
The ApplicationException constructor is an instance member so it is not guaranteed to be thread-safe. How do you know if the following code is completely unnecessary? When I say know, I mean is there something in the documentation that says this is unnecessary or have you seen the .NET source code and so you know it is unnecessary? //...
I have a CLI/C++ based install application which needs to close another app I've written, replace the application's .exe and dlls and the re-run the executable. First of all I need to close that window along the following lines: HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL, windowTitle); if( hwnd != NULL ) { ::SendMessage(hwnd, (int)0x????, 0, NULL...
We have a team of 40+ engineers working on a common code base. We're using resharper, and have been sharing our suggested settings by having a 'definitive' configuration file emailed out which people can import. However, as time goes on we wish to tighten up on various things on new versions and new work, without requiring refactoring o...

I'm trying to create a top level exception capture for a debug version of some real-time data capture software and was wondering if there was a top-level exception handler similar to Application.ThreadException that captures ALL exceptions, not just unhandled/trapped ones. Thanks in advance ...
