Small pet peev. When creating new visual studio projects is there any way to include the system.configuration assembly by default?

I know it's not much effort to do Project > Add reference, but I imagine that this is a very very common thing for most peopl...

Let's say I have retrieved a System.Type object using reflection and want to use that type to convert a List<Object> into another List of that type. If I try: Type type = GetTypeUsingReflection(); var myNewList = listObject.ConvertAll(x => Convert.ChangeType(x, type)); I get an exception since the object does not implement the IConv...
I have noticed the Tag properties with controls. Is it okay to use this to reference my custom objects, or should I stay away from it as it would require boxing and unboxing which has been mentioned as unsafe and is not recomended. TreeNode tn = new TreeNode (); CustClass o = new CustClass() o.number = 123; tn.Tag = o; class CustClas...
In my previous question I detailed the problem I encountered. One of the solutions is to simulate a user typing the command in the prompt. I don't know how to do it in .NET, since the usual way of doing this is by using System.Diagnostics.Process which causes the error. I wonder if there is any alternative to that class? What are the ...

Hello, I would like to manually run code analysis for an entire solution, not on building the project, and not using FXCop, if possible. I did enable CA on build but it really, really slowed down the build process, and we can't have that. But it seems weird to me that code analysis can only be run per project manually through the menu...
What I am trying to do is get a SINGLE WCF Service to work in the development environment which is the HTTP scheme, and, also, have the SAME service work in the production environment which is the HTTPS scheme. If I remove the two Https endpoints (those suffixed 'Https'), it works in the development enviornment; likewise, if I remove onl...
