I want to use the Publish.GacRemove function to remove an assembly from GAC. However, I don't understand what path I should pass as an argument. Should it be a path to the original DLL (what if I removed it after installing it in the GAC?) or the path to the assembly in the GAC? UPDATE: I finally used these API wrappers. ...

In a C# .NET 3.5 app (a mix of WinForms and WPF) I want to let the user select a folder to import a load of data from. At the moment, it's using System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog but that's a bit lame. Mainly because you can't type the path into it (so you need to map a network drive, instead of typing a UNC path). I'd like somet...

We have a deployment system at my office where we can automatically deploy a given build of our code to a specified dev environment (dev01, dev02, etc.). These dev environments are generalized virtual machines, so our system has to configure them automatically. We have a new system requirement with our next version; we need to give certa...

I’m looking at rewriting a portion of our application in C# (currently legacy VB6 code). The module I am starting with is responsible for importing data from a variety of systems into our database. About 5-6 times a year, a new client asks us to write a new import for the system that they use. Presently, this requires us to release a ne...
Any ideas on how to implement tab completion for a .NET (C#) Console Application? And I mean within an application that is run and then loops for user input (like if you run ftp.exe without any arguments), like this: string line = string.Empty; while (line != "exit") { //do something here ...
(This is a followup to my previous question about measuring .NET remoting traffic.) When I am testing our Windows service / service controller GUI combination, it is often most convenient to run both pieces on my development box. With this setup, the remoting traffic between the two is via loopback, not through the Ethernet card. Are t...

If I have an XElement that has child elements, and if I remove a child element from the parent, removing all references between the two, will the child XElement have the same namespaces as the parent? In other words, if I have the following XML: <parent xmlns:foo="abc"> <foo:child /> </parent> and I remove the child element, will...
I'd like to be able to pass a SecureString (a cached passphrase) to a child process in C# (.Net 3.5), but I don't know what the most secure way is to do it. If I were to convert the SecureString back to a regular string and pass it as a command-line argument, for example, then I think the value may be prone to disk paging--which would ma...
