What is the best way (for a .Net 4 project) to implement authorization in the business layer. Simply I want to check whether a certain identity can access a certain action/resource. I've tried to look this up in Patterns & Practices, but haven't found anything useful yet. And what about PrincipalPermission of ASP.Net 2.0? Is this still...
I tried searching for this but my Google has failed me. I have a directory full of files that are just their GUID: b3445ffb-55f4-4538-bc6f-13534fd549f6 I know they can be only a handful of file extensions (doc,docx,pdf,jpg), but obviously the file extension does not exist. I could write a script that simply tries to open the file usin...

I'm stuck with regular expressions. The program is a console application written in C#. There are a few commands. I want to check the arguments are right first. I thought it'll be easy with Regex but couldn't do that: var strArgs = ""; foreach (var x in args) { strArgs += x + " "; } if (!Regex.IsMatch(strArgs, @"(-\?|-help|-c|-cont...

I've noticed that the WCF proxy generator is not generating the "specified" property flags for string fields EG When I have two fields on a complexType specified in the WSDL: <xs:element name="testStringField" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /> <xs:element name="testDecimalField" type="xs:decimal" minOccurs="0" /> the proxy generato...

There has been one small annoyance though, I can't seem to figure out how to attach my newly created window to the tab bar.

In my application, I have a component, which opens a pop-up window (save dialog). There's no legitimate method for disabling that dialog. Killing it by timer is not reliable way. Is there any accurate way for preventing the dialog from opening? ...
We're looking into using ILMerge (along with NGEN.exe and GAC registration) to improve the startup times of our application. It looks like we won't be able to merge all of the assemblies into one dll because it will prevent any patching of our application post-deployment. We've been using msimsp.exe to generate a patch which just repla...
I've got a weird slowdown in my ASP.NET website that I cannot seem to track down. I'm suspecting that GC might be kicking in and halting my threads. To know for sure it would be nice to log every time when GC does occur. I could make a dummy object and do the logging in its finalizer, but that would then be a one-shot solution, while in...
This question does a good job of explaining the difference in functionality between the serializers. BinaryFormatter is fast, XmlSerializer is interoperable, etc. I know that. But what is the difference in intent? What use-case was each class designed for? In particular: Why did they decide to make XmlSerializer blind for private dat...
I am trying to mock up a java web service that isn't complete but has been designed, i.e. I have the wsdl. I've implemented a .net web service with the classes and methods required with the same names, etc. However when I request the wsdl from the .net web service, the proxy classes generated contain the suffix "Soap", .e.g instead of ...

I've been asked to write code to track IP addresses of visitors to one of my company's online applications in .NET. This is actually the second one I've done, having done another site late last year. I noticed then, and again now, that I sometimes get the same IP address showing up for what I know is another box.....sometimes a co-work...
