My C# app contains a Data Object like this: public class Data { public class a {get;set;} public class b {get;set;} } public class a { public int first {get;set;} } public class b { public int second{get;set;} } I initialize my data when the application starts and my data changes evey time the app is running. I have...
I was curious how the StringBuilder class is implemented internally, so I decided to check out Mono's source code and compare it with Reflector's disassembled code of the Microsoft's implementation. Essentially, Microsoft's implementation uses char[] to store a string representation internally, and a bunch of unsafe methods to manipulate...
I'm wondering when to divide code, and components of a project into a separate project. I'm creating a MVC .NET Web project, and there are many directories/sub-directories, and I haven't even started getting into some of the background processes that will take even more space. I'm just trying to work on organizing projects and the code...
I am in the hypothetical phase of thinking of how to do something in code, so I have no concrete code examples yet. But, let's assume you have an entity type Person (with attributes such as first name, last name, DOB, etc.). When one goes to edit a person entity, you may only update one or two fields (possibly all, but usually not). T...
Hello SO, This question concerns XML schemas and files. Suppose I am developing a desktop application with a file-based interface, i.e. the user stores their progress in a file on disk - pretty standard for the vast majority of productivity applications and many more besides. The file is fundamentally XML, whose schema is stored by som...
Here is your basic DataSource override: public override object DataSource { get { return base.DataSource; } set { base.DataSource = value; } } What I would like to do in the setter method is cast value to IEnumerable<> and do some manipulations on i...

I written a C# tool that simulates a user interacting with a Windows 7 environment. It works except when interacting with a couple online flash applications. Mouse movements and clicks are being generated, but the Flash apps do not receive them. I am thinking I need to generate lower-level mouse events, but cannot confirm this. I hav...
I need to inject a custom, unique, static string into my .NET based EXE. For all intents and purposes, assume that this is my Private key of a PKI. I have a few ideas on how I'll approach protecting the Private key within the C# source code, my question is how do I take my .CS files and create an executable based off it? ...

I have a couple of generic lists with completely different types of data. In my generic lists I have created methods to do all the processing that makes sense from that level - that is I have the member function perform a summary and return a value or set of values. One of my reasoning for basing this calculation in the generic list is ...
I simply want to speed up my .NET-base client side app and am considering NGEN-ing the code. Jeffery Richter wrote this warning about ngening code: •Inferior Load-Time Performance (Rebasing). When Windows loads an NGend file, it checks to see if the file loads at its preferred base address. If the file cant load at its pre...
I recently finished this book on Managed C++, and found it very interesting... But I realize the topic is woefully out-of-date now, with the advent of C++/CLI. So I'm looking for recommendations on a new book to read, something to update my knowledge of C++ and .NET. I'm especially interested in writing server applications (using socke...
Hi everybody, Entity Framework allows to map the result of a stored procedure to an Entity easily. What I need is to map an Entity to input parameters, so that instead of context.SaveUser( user.FirstName, user.LastName, ... ); I can simply call it like this: context.SaveUser( user ); What I really want is to isolate possible schem...

I have a few dll files and I want to export all public classes with methods separated by namespaces (export to html / text file or anything else I can ctrl+c/v in Windows :) ). I don't want to create documentation or merge my dlls with xml file. I just need a list of all public methods and properties. What's the best way to accomplish...
What is the proper way to initialize a null variable in .NET? I've been told by one of my colleagues that hard defining of a variable to null is a slowdown. int var1; // good practice string s1; // good practice int var2 = 0; // bad practice string s2 = null; // bad practice Is that correct? ...
