I'm trying to convince my client to use nhibernate instead of Entity Framework 4. My client have decided to use only Microsoft libraries (including Unity and Enterprise library 5). I don't agree with them (there are so much better logging frameworks/validation layers/ioc etc) but respect their decision. I've played with EF4 for a couple...
I'm new to C#, so apologies if this is an obvious question. In the MSDN Dispose example, the Dispose method they define is non-virtual. Why is that? It seems odd to me - I'd expect that a child class of an IDisposable that had its own non-managed resources would just override Dispose and call base.Dispose() at the bottom of their own ...

I'm using the Open XML SDK but my challenge has been to come up with a very generic means of representing the document as...
We need some global one time setup code in our test suite. We can do it more than once but it takes quite some time. It's required by all fixtures so [TestFixtureSetUp] does not work. It has to run before all [TestFixtureSetUp] code. Put it in Main() since we keep test assemblies as executables. However Main doesn't get executed under...

I would like to control object creation of a type that is not usually serializable during deserialization using a NetDataContractSerializer (or any serializer I guess). Using a custom SerializationBinder I can control the type that is constructed and using a custom ISurrogateSelector and ISerializationSurrogate to control how state is se...
