Having programmed for a while now I have noticed that I am becoming more and more reliant on the internet and intellisense to do my job. But I was wondering how much that has effected my knowledge over the past year or so. But does this matter? For example I am more likely now to remember that when I need to program against objects I ha...

I am using an open source client to programmatically process incoming emails (on Windows 2003). The only way to prevent receiving previously read emails is to delete them from the server. This is less than ideal. As far as I know, there is no command in Pop3 to set emails as being read. So how do you go about this? ...

Hi, I am working on creating an immutable class. I have marked all the properties as read-only. I have a list of items in the class. Although if the property is read-only the list can be modified. Exposing the IEnumerable of the list makes it immutable. I wanted to know what is the basic rules one has to follow to make a class imm...
I was curiious to know what type of structures you use for your project references? Where I work the developers have a shared folder called AssemblyCache (\\MACHINENAME\AssemblyCache) which is mapped to an R:\ via GPO in Windows 2008 AD (tied to the Developers AD group). Our shared components have post-build events that copy them to so...
According to this article rebasing is not necessary for .NET assemblies due to JIT compilation of the code. The article states: "JIT-compiled code does not have a rebasing problem since the addresses are generated at run time based on where the code is placed in memory. Also, MSIL is rarely affected by base address misses since MSIL re...

Is Structured Exception Handling bad? What is the right way to handle exceptions? EDIT: Exception Handling in .NET using C#. I usually have a set of specific exception classes (DivideByZeroException, ArrayTypeMismatchException) and don't have a generic "catch (Exception ex)". The thinking behind this is that I expect certain types of ...
I'm trying to abstract out all database code into a separate library and then use that library in all my code. All database connections are done using typed TableAdapters that I create by dragging and dropping in datasets in VS2005, using a connection string from the appSettings. The problem that I haven't been able to solve is that .Ne...
I have a query that runs super fast when executed in the sql editor (oracle): 1ms. The same query (as stored procedure) when executed by a DataSet-TableAdapter takes 2 seconds. I'm just retrieving 20rows. Since I'm using a TableAdapter, the return values are stored in a ref cursor. If I was fetching 2'000 rows I could understand that ...
I have a GridView Control that for other functionality has to be inside an update panel. The site is using the Ajax Control Toolkit and the "EnableSortingAndPagingCallbacks" property on the Grid is set to false. However, when I execute a paging call it is still doing it as a callback instead of a postback. How do I fix this and get the p...

I have some critical logic in a finally block (with an empty try block), because I want to guarantee that the code gets executed even if the thread is aborted. However, I'd also like to detect the ThreadAbortException. I've found that wrapping my critical try/finally block in a try/catch does not catch the ThreadAbortException. Is there ...
We have lots of logging calls in our app. Our logger takes a System.Type parameter so it can show which component created the call. Sometimes, when we can be bothered, we do something like: class Foo { private static readonly Type myType = typeof(Foo); void SomeMethod() { Logger.Log(myType, "SomeMethod started..."); } }...
